As a Mechanical Design Engineer (Founding Team) at Structured, you will sit at the intersection of professional engineering judgment and frontier AI.
This is a product forward role. You aren't just performing engineering tasks; you are productizing engineering intelligence.
Working directly with our CTO and CPO, you will translate the nuances of HVAC systems, building codes, and MEP coordination into autonomous AI agents. Your mission is to ensure our platform delivers professional-grade accuracy while mitigating risk for the world’s largest engineering firms.
Core responsibilities:
- Encode Expertise: Translate complex mechanical logic and industry standards into structured patterns our AI agents can execute.
- Product Co-Design: Partner with engineering to test features, ship weekly, and ensure outputs meet a "PE-level" bar of excellence.
- Strategic Delivery: Lead the technical delivery of AI-produced reports for enterprise clients, identifying the edge cases that drive our next model iteration.
- Customer Front-Lines: Join technical discovery with top-tier MEP firms to map their internal standards and pain points.
- Scale Systems: Identify recurring design patterns across massive datasets to build automated "checks" into the core platform.
Who you are:
- Industry Veteran: 2+ years at a construction or MEP firm. You’ve lived the pain of manual reviews and Revit-based documentation.
- QA/QC Specialist: You have a proven track record of performing formal peer reviews and catching the errors others miss.
- Systems Thinker: You can abstract patterns from specific projects and turn them into universal engineering logic.
- Hacker Mindset: You are a clear, structured communicator who is naturally inclined to automate your own workflows.
Nice to haves:
- Experience with multi-disciplinary coordination (Mechanical, Electrical, Structural).
- Familiarity with AI/ML tools or early-stage startup environments.
Visa: CPT Eligible
Compensation: $80,000 — 85,000 (Full-time)
Consulting option: Competitive hourly or project-based rate
Structured AI is building the AI workforce for construction design engineering.
Today, billions of dollars and months of human effort are wasted because engineers must manually check thousands of drawings for tiny mistakes that lead to massive rework. It's slow, painful, and deeply uncreative.
We're changing that.
Structured builds AI agents that understand complex mechanical, electrical, structural, and civil drawings — and automatically perform high-precision QA/QC, code compliance, and design consistency checks.
Engineers shouldn't be stuck hunting for missing tags at 2 AM. They should focus on designing the future.
Our long-term vision is bold:
become the go-to software platform for design engineers — from quality-controlling plans today, to generating and optimizing them tomorrow.
This means next-generation computer vision systems, autonomous workflows, and eventually true AI co-designers.
