Job description

Position Summary

The Structural Engineer will lead seismic compliance and certification efforts for IEM's low- and medium-voltage power distribution equipment, ensuring products meet regulatory, code, and customer requirements for high-seismic regions. In addition to seismic qualification, this role will support research & development and product engineering teams by assisting with the structural design of internal equipment structures, skids, frames and containerized power solutions. This position plays a critical role in enabling market access, improving product performance, and supporting innovation across IEM's product portfolio.

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a technically strong, hands-on professional who combines deep structural engineering expertise with practical experience in seismic testing, qualification and analytical studies. They thrive in cross-functional environments, working with engineering, sales, and customers to translate complex seismic requirements into executable testing and compliance strategies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and manage seismic compliance for low- and medium-voltage power distribution equipment, including both standard products and custom design-to-order offerings.
  • Own the planning, execution, and documentation of seismic qualification programs in accordance with ICC-ES AC156, IBC, UBC, IEEE 693, and related standards.
  • Manage HCAi (formerly OSHPD) seismic preapprovals, enabling maximum flexibility for custom design-to-order equipment.
  • Collaborate with our clients' Structural Engineers of Record (SEOR) and AHJs on site-specific studies and approvals for custom-engineered equipment.
  • Coordinate the design, fabrication, and analysis of seismic test articles in collaboration with product development and manufacturing teams.
  • Plan, schedule, and support shake table testing at external laboratories, including travel to witness and support tests.
  • Review test data, evaluate results, and prepare technical reports and certification submittals.
  • Support R&D and product development by designing and optimizing structural components within electrical equipment.
  • Design and analyze equipment skids, frames, enclosures, and containerized or modular power solutions.
  • Provide structural guidance on anchorage, load paths, vibration, and transport-related considerations.
  • Support continuous improvement of structural design practices, seismic strategies, and internal engineering standards.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Structural or Civil Engineering (structural emphasis required); Master's degree preferred.
  • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license required; California licensure strongly preferred.
  • 5-10 years of experience in structural engineering, with a focus on seismic design and nonstructural component qualification.
  • Demonstrated experience with HCAi preapproval processes.
  • Strong working knowledge of ICC-ES AC156, IBC, UBC, and IEEE 693
  • Experience designing structural steel components, frames, skids, and equipment support structures.
  • Ability to translate code and test requirements into practical, manufacturable designs.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with engineering, manufacturing, sales, and customers.

Workplace Conditions

  • Travel required to support seismic testing, customer engagement, and project needs (approximately 10-25%).
  • Fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment supporting both compliance and innovation.
