About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

As Senior 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.
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.
You will stamp drawings, manage peer reviews, resolve cross-discipline clashes before steel is cut, and develop standardized structural templates that compress engineering cycle time across hundreds of deployments.
This role is deeply collaborative, working closely with manufacturing, MEP, and field teams from design through delivery.
