You will be responsible for designing and ensuring the structural integrity of various subsystems within Rondo's Heat Batteries, adhering to product requirements, performance criteria, and cost-effectiveness. Your work will directly impact the success of Rondo's Heat Batteries and its mission to decarbonize the world. This role involves developing structural designs, performing finite-element modeling, creating detailed design documentation, and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders. The ideal candidate will possess a Bachelor's degree in civil or mechanical engineering with a specialization in structures, along with 5+ years of relevant experience. This position offers a competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and the opportunity to make a significant contribution to environmental sustainability.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in civil or mechanical engineering with a specialization in structures
• 5+ years of experience designing structural systems, ideally within the context of process/industrial infrastructure projects
• Experience working with several types of structural materials, including concrete, structural steel, cold-formed steel, and refractories
• Experience using structural engineering software such as SAP2000, SAFE, CFS, and Ideastatica
