Resident Structural Engineer, Modular R&D
FluidStack — Phoenix, Arizona, United States · In-Person · Mid
Role description
Role Overview
The Resident Structural Engineer, Modular R&D will own the structural systems of the modular product on the line, frames, enclosures, and lifting and transport structures, from released drawings through rate production. They will live on the Phoenix manufacturing line, walk the floor daily, catch fit-up and weld issues at the station where they happen, and disposition them on the spot. They will run structural support for the factory in real time, answering RFIs same-day from the floor and engineering fixes into the next revision, not a someday backlog.
What You Will Do
The Resident Structural Engineer, Modular R&D will run first-article reviews and fit checks in person as units come down the line, with findings documented tightly enough to drive drawing changes. They will close the loop to design: feed what the line learns back into drawings, tolerances, and the BOM so the same issue never surfaces twice.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate will have engineered structures for complex physical products, modular construction, or heavy fabrication, hands-on, not from a review desk. They will have worked on a shop floor or fabrication line, and dispositioning a nonconformance with the line waiting is familiar work. They will have supported production launches of their own designs and stayed with them through the ugly early units.
