Senior Structural Engineer

Aalo Atomics is pioneering a new era in clean energy with factory-fabricated reactors designed to deliver affordable, scalable, and reliable nuclear power. Our mission is to make nuclear energy globally accessible, starting with the Aalo-1, a 10 MWe reactor leveraging cutting-edge safety, modularity, and efficiency. Based in Austin, TX, we’re rapidly growing as we work to deploy the world’s first fleet of advanced microreactors. Join us and help revolutionize energy for a sustainable future.

We're looking for a Senior Structural Engineer who lives at the intersection of civil/structural design and heavy industrial hardware. You'll own the structural design of steel structures and industrial skids from concept through fabrication, working shoulder-to-shoulder with mechanical, process, and manufacturing teams. This is a hands-on role for an engineer who wants to see their drawings turn into steel — not sit in a review queue.

• →Own the structural design and analysis of steel structures, equipment supports, and industrial skids from concept through fabrication and installation.
• →Perform structural analysis and code checks using RISA-3D and hand calculations; size members, connections, base plates, and anchorage.
• →Develop and review fabrication drawings, connection details, and weldments; coordinate directly with fabricators and shops to resolve design and constructability issues.
• →Apply IBC, AISC, ACI, and other governing structural codes and standards to design decisions and analyses.
• →Design steel-framed structures, platforms, skid frames, and foundations to meet strength, serviceability, and seismic requirements.
• →Collaborate with mechanical, process, and manufacturing engineers to integrate structural design with piping, equipment, and layout constraints.
• →Produce clear, defensible design calculations and documentation that support internal design reviews and external licensing where required.
• →Support field and shop questions during fabrication and construction, and drive design changes when reality demands them.

• →Competitive salary based on technical level
• →Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• →Paid Time Off
• →Corporate Gym Membership

• Bachelor's degree in Civil or Structural Engineering.
• Minimum 3 years of professional structural engineering experience.
• Working knowledge of IBC, AISC, ACI, and other structural codes and standards.
• Proficiency with structural analysis software, including RISA-3D.
• Experience creating and working with fabrication drawings.
• Experience with industrial skid design and steel structure design.
