About the Role
The Modular team designs and industrializes factory-built data center units, turning first-of-a-kind designs into repeatable products the factory can build again and again.
Examples of Key Problems the Team Is Working On
- Take modular data center designs from engineering concept to fabrication-ready packages that a shop can build without a phone call.
- Detail the structures, skids, and piping systems inside each unit down to the weld and bolt level.
- Absorb rapid engineering changes across in-flight units without losing revision control or slowing the factory.
- Build the modeling standards, part libraries, and templates that make every next unit faster to detail than the last.
Responsibilities
- Produce the detailed mechanical and structural models and drawings the factory builds from: structures, skids, piping, and assemblies, fully detailed with nothing left to interpretation.
- Detail steel and mechanical systems to fabrication level: connections, penetrations, pipe spools, and BOM-linked parts, complete enough that a fitter never has to guess.
- Turn engineering changes into updated, released drawing packages in days, not weeks, with clean revision tracking throughout.
- Own model hygiene: build and enforce the standards, libraries, and templates that make each subsequent unit faster to detail and harder to get wrong.
Qualifications
- You've detailed for fabrication: structural steel, skids, piping, or modular assemblies, in a fab shop, skid builder, or modular manufacturing environment.
- Shops build from your drawings without calling. Your packages carry the weld symbols, bolt callouts, and dimensions a fitter actually needs.
- You model to standards and keep library discipline: parts, templates, and naming conventions stay clean under pressure.
- You handle revision storms without version chaos. When engineering changes land, the released package is always the right one.
- You know how things get made: welds, bends, tolerances, and the clearances real fabricators need to fit up, weld out, and inspect.
- You know what gets red-lined when it's missing, and your detailing has changed because of it.
Skills (Bonus)
- Tekla or Advance Steel
- Plant and BIM modeling (Revit, Plant 3D)
- AWS weld symbols and AISC detailing standards
- BIM coordination experience
