POSITION PURPOSE

The Senior Engineer, Advanced Structural Applications is responsible for providing structural engineering analysis, technical evaluations, and engineering support for customer-specific applications across BAC's global business. The role applies established structural engineering principles, company standards, and engineering judgment to evaluate customer-specific requirements, ensure structural integrity, and provide timely engineering support for customer commitments.

The position requires a strong background in structural engineering with experience in structural analysis, steel and cold-formed steel design, and applicable structural design codes and standards. The Senior Engineer independently performs engineering calculations, develops structural engineering recommendations, and collaborates with Global Applications, Regional Engineering, Product Engineering, Manufacturing, and other cross-functional teams to deliver practical engineering solutions.

The work is performed with limited supervision under the general direction of the Chief Engineer, Advanced Structural Applications or other technical leadership as appropriate. The Senior Engineer is expected to independently resolve the majority of structural application requests while appropriately escalating novel, precedent-setting, or high-risk engineering issues.

NATURE & SCOPE

Reports to the Chief Engineer, Advanced Structural Applications.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Perform structural engineering analyses and evaluations for customer-specific applications involving wind, seismic, transportation, rigging, installation, anchorage, operational loading, and other site-specific structural conditions.
• Evaluate routine and moderately complex customer-specific structural application requests using established engineering methods, company standards, and applicable structural design codes and standards.
• Prepare structural calculations, analytical models, engineering evaluations, technical recommendations, and supporting documentation to support customer commitments and engineering decisions.
• Provide structural engineering support to Regional Applications and Engineering, Sales, Product Engineering, Manufacturing, and other cross-functional teams to resolve customer-specific engineering issues.
• Interpret and apply applicable structural design codes/standards, regulatory requirements, and BAC engineering standards to ensure safe, practical, and compliant engineering solutions.
• Collaborate with Product Engineering to ensure structural engineering solutions for customer-specific applications remain consistent with product capabilities, manufacturing requirements, and BAC engineering standards.
• Support engineering validation activities, including prototype testing, structural qualification, and field investigations, by providing structural engineering analysis, interpretation of test results, and technical recommendations, as required.
• Support the continuous improvement of structural engineering methods, calculation tools, design guidance, and engineering processes by identifying recurring application requests and opportunities for standardization, improving engineering efficiency, consistency, and response time.
• Contribute to a work environment that promotes technical excellence, collaboration, continuous improvement, and customer focus.
• Adhere to the Company's Code of Conduct and Business Ethics standards.

KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS

Required Knowledge/Skills:

• Strong understanding of structural engineering principles and structural behavior.
• Ability to independently evaluate customer-specific engineering problems and develop practical structural solutions.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and engineering judgment.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple engineering assignments and priorities.
• Ability to work effectively with cross-functional and global engineering teams.

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline required.
• Advanced degree preferred.

Years of Experience:

• Typically 5-10 years of structural or mechanical engineering experience.
• Experience in product engineering, applications engineering, industrial equipment, or related engineering fields preferred.
• Global experience preferred.

Technical Expertise:

• Experience with structural analysis software such as SAP2000, ANSYS, or equivalent finite element analysis software.
• Experience with engineering calculation software such as Mathcad.

Working knowledge of:

• ASCE 7
• AISC 360
• AISI S100
• Structural steel and cold-formed steel design
• Wind and seismic analysis
• Structural testing and validation
• Knowledge of international structural design standards and customer application engineering is desirable.

ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES

• Travel as needed to global engineering centers in Europe and Asia, and occasionally as needed to regional manufacturing facilities, technical conferences, and professional association meetings, etc.

WORKING CONDITIONS

• Working hours are the standard BAC 40 hours per week (8:30am-5:00pm with flexible start/finish times allowed).
• Travel, both domestically and internationally, can be up to 15% of the time.
• Occasional evening/weekend hours required, although the work can often be done from home with the use of a portable computer and a VPN connection.
• Primarily sedentary activity in the office will be experienced; however, periodic travel to BAC manufacturing facilities with mechanical assembly (medium work) and lifting being required.
• Must have close visual acuity to work with computer systems and virtual models
• Will typically be subjected to only indoor conditions; however, on occasional trips to BAC manufacturing facilities and test laboratories the individual may experience heat, cold, humidity, and noise.
