If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.
As Lead Structural Engineer, you'll serve as the technical authority for the structural design of Giga's modular data center product line and associated site infrastructure. This role demands hybrid expertise in structural steel design for transportable modular enclosures and reinforced concrete design for critical facility foundations.
You'll own the Structural Plan of Record (POR), ensuring all designs meet Risk Category IV requirements for essential facilities while optimizing for Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA). You'll bridge the gap between innovative modular product design and traditional site infrastructure, creating standardized solutions that can scale across hundreds of deployments.
This is a high-impact technical leadership role where your designs directly enable our rapid deployment model. You'll work at the intersection of structural engineering, manufacturing optimization, and mission-critical infrastructure—designing systems that must perform flawlessly from factory floor to seismic zone.
If based outside of our Houston, Long Beach, Reno, or San Francisco hubs, this role will be based remotely from your home office. You must be willing to travel as needed to our job sites and to one of our hub offices.
