What are the common challenges faced by professionals working in seismic processing, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in seismic processing frequently encounter challenges such as managing large volumes of complex geophysical data, ensuring data quality, and dealing with varying subsurface conditions. Addressing these challenges requires strong analytical skills, proficiency with specialized software, and close collaboration with geophysicists, geologists, and data engineers. Regular training, staying updated on the latest processing techniques, and communicating effectively with multidisciplinary teams are key strategies to overcome these obstacles and deliver accurate seismic images.

What is seismic processing?

Seismic processing is the series of computational techniques used to convert raw seismic data collected from the field into meaningful images or models of the Earth’s subsurface. This process involves data cleaning, correcting for distortions, and enhancing signals to help geoscientists interpret rock layers and structures. Seismic processing is crucial in the oil and gas industry, environmental studies, and earthquake research, as it helps identify potential resources and understand geological formations. The main goal is to produce accurate, high-resolution images that support exploration and decision-making.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Seismic Processing Specialist, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Seismic Processing Specialist, you need a solid background in geophysics, signal processing, and data analysis, usually supported by a degree in geoscience or a related discipline. Familiarity with specialized software such as ProMAX, Vista, or Hampson-Russell, as well as experience with high-performance computing systems, is typically required. Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help professionals interpret complex data and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams. These abilities are crucial for transforming raw seismic data into actionable insights that support exploration and development decisions in the energy sector.

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.
