Why join Giga The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here. The Impact : Every person at Giga touches the work that matters.

No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship. The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure.

We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more. The Moment : AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution.

This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.

What You'Ll Do

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. This role spans two structural domains: modular enclosure design in steel and building structural design for mission critical site infrastructure.

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-trust, high-autonomy role.

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. Where you'll work 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.

Responsibilities

Modular Product Design (Steel Dynamics) Structural Analysis: Perform advanced static and dynamic analysis on modular steel enclosures. Calculate stresses for multiple load cases including transportation shock/vibration, crane lifting/rigging (pick points), and stacking configurations. Steel Detailing: Design and seal cold-formed and hot-rolled steel assemblies in accordance with AISC 360 and AISI S100.

Connection Design: optimize connection details (moment frames, braced frames) for mass production, minimizing field welding in favor of bolted, verifiable connections. Equipment Support: Design integrated dunnage and support systems for heavy mechanical/electrical equipment (Chillers, Generators, Switchgear) within the module, accounting for seismic anchorage and vibration isolation. Site Infrastructure (Concrete Foundation) Foundation Design: Engineer shallow and deep foundation systems (mat slabs, spread footings, piles) for high-load industrial sites.

Interpret geotechnical reports to determine bearing capacities and settlement limits. Seismic Engineering: Execute rigorous seismic analysis for high-seismic zones (SDC D, E, F) per ASCE 7-22. Design lateral force-resisting systems to ensure operational continuity post-event.

Plan of Record (POR): Develop standardized foundation templates that can be adapted by A E firms for specific sites, reducing engineering cycle time. Coordination Compliance BIM Management: Maintain the Structural Revit model. Coordinate continuously with MEP disciplines to resolve clashes (pipe penetrations, duct routing) before fabrication.

Code Compliance: Ensure full adherence to IBC, ACI 318 (Concrete), AISC 341 (Seismic Provisions), and local amendments. Third-Party Review: Manage external structural peer reviews and coordinate with local jurisdictions for permitting and plan checks.
