Job summary

Aran Industries seeks an engineer to own structural automation from foundations to complex equipment supports, delivering real designs on live projects. You will build a parametric engine enabling repeatable structural analysis and documentation for future sites.

You will collaborate with existing automation efforts, accelerating current workflows rather than starting from scratch. A first-principles approach and ability to ship code with AI tools are essential.

Qualifications

• Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, materials, and load paths.
• Experience designing, analyzing, or building real structures or complex load-bearing systems.
• Ability to work from first principles rather than relying solely on established workflows or software outputs.
• Capacity to ship code using AI tools today, even without formal software engineering training.
• Strong technical judgment and ownership.

Responsibilities

• Deliver structural engineering packages for live projects including foundations, steel and concrete structures, equipment supports, loading calculations and construction docs.
• Build parametric workflows for automated analysis, sizing, optimization, 3D modeling, and drawing generation.
• Integrate structural analysis tools (SAP2000, ETABS, STAAD, or similar) into automated workflows.
• Connect structural design with civil, electrical, and mechanical systems so changes update designs automatically.
• Use AI coding agents to develop and ship the automation engine.
