Structural Engineer - Building Systems / DFMA
Job description
Reframe Systems is a Physical AI and robotics company on a mission to make high-performance housing attainable and abundant in the communities where people want to live. Through our vertically integrated delivery model and highly automated microfactories, we deliver climate-resilient homes and buildings with greater speed and predictability than traditional construction. Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes adaptable to each site, community, and customer need.
Job responsibilities
- Own the structural system for our platform Define standard structural assemblies for walls, floors, roofs, stairs, and connections that balance strength, stiffness, cost, and manufacturability.
- Set design rules, load paths, typical details, and tolerances that can be reused across products and projects.
- Bridge design, modeling, and manufacturing Partner with architects and modelers to translate architectural intent into structurally rational, factory‑buildable systems.
- Work with our Onshape Modeling / FeatureScript teams so structural rules are encoded in models, automation, and shop documentation (not just in isolated details).
- Lead structural engineering on key projects Develop internal structural schemes and calculations for priority projects before they go to the Engineer of Record.
- Prepare clear, well‑structured packages for external structural engineers and third‑party inspectors, and drive efficient review cycles.
- Tighten the loop between design, factory, and field Diagnose structural root causes behind issues like cracking, misfits, or tolerance clashes in factory and field.
- Turn lessons learned from the floor and jobsite into updated details, standards, and rules that prevent recurrence.
Job requirements
- Experience 7+ years of structural engineering experience on building projects, ideally including multifamily or high‑repeatability housing types.
- Experience with modular, offsite, panelized, or other prefabricated systems is a strong plus.
- Demonstrated track record of coordinating with architects, MEP engineers, fabricators, and field teams.
- Technical depth Strong grasp of structural behavior in wood/light‑gauge and mixed‑material systems (gravity, lateral, connections, deflection, movement, and creep).
- Familiarity with Massachusetts and/or California building codes, and comfort working with third‑party modular inspection agencies and local AHJs.
- Proficiency with structural analysis and documentation tools; comfortable working from and back into Revit, and able to collaborate effectively with parametric CAD environments (Onshape, SolidWorks, Tekla, etc.).
- Experience with or strong interest in API‑driven structural tools (for example SkyCiv, Dlubal RFEM 6, or similar), or a track record of using scripting/automation around more traditional tools (e.g., RISA, ETABS, SAP)…
- Systems mindset Excited to turn one‑off project details into reusable patterns and rules.
