Structural Design Engineer (Civil/Truss)

Illinois Tool Works

Structural Design Engineer

Alpine, an ITW company, is a leading provider of building component software, equipment, and the industry's best service to component manufacturers. Partnering with our customers, we help to improve their businesses and make them more productive. We are a leader in delivering software solutions to the construction industry to increase profitability.

ITW offers its employees a path for advancement, a competitive salary, and a comprehensive benefits package designed to help employees care for themselves, their families, and their futures.

This Structural Design Engineer role is essential because it sits at the intersection of engineering precision, construction efficiency, and customer success—directly impacting how safely and effectively buildings are designed and constructed. As a Structural Design Engineer at Alpine, you help translate complex engineering principles into practical, buildable solutions that optimize material use, improve productivity, and ensure structural integrity. By designing and analyzing engineered wood components like trusses within a fast-paced, production-oriented environment, the role enables quicker project turnaround without sacrificing quality or safety. It also supports innovation and standardization across the company, helping customers become more profitable while maintaining compliance with building codes. Ultimately, this position plays a critical role in delivering reliable structures, advancing industry practices, and strengthening partnerships with customers through technical expertise and responsive engineering support.

What You Will Do:

  • Perform structural design and analysis of engineered wood components, including calculating loads, member forces, and connection requirements
  • Apply sound engineering judgment to develop safe, efficient solutions for standard and moderately complex design scenarios
  • Review and refine work completed by designers and technicians to ensure accuracy, completeness, and code compliance
  • Collaborate with senior engineers to resolve complex design challenges and contribute to final design approvals
  • Provide technical guidance and support to internal teams and customers regarding structural behavior and design assumptions
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering standards, processes, and documentation while ensuring timely, high-quality project delivery

What You Will Bring:

  • Active Professional Engineer (PE) license (any U.S. state), OR Engineer-in-Training (EIT) with eligibility and intent to obtain PE licensure within a defined timeframe
  • Bachelor's degree in Civil, Mechanical, or related engineering discipline with coursework or experience in statics, structural analysis, and strength of materials
  • Strong understanding of structural behavior, load paths, and fundamental engineering principles
  • Ability to interpret construction documents and translate them into structural design solutions

Preferred Experience:

  • Experience with structural design, component systems, or load-bearing assemblies
  • Familiarity with light-frame wood design or similar structural systems
  • Familiarity with building codes (IBC/IRC) and structural design standards
  • Experience working in a fast-paced or production-oriented engineering environment

What's In It For You:

At Alpine, you'll make a meaningful impact by supporting work that strengthens communities and delivers real value to customers across North America. You'll be part of a collaborative, high-performing environment where your contributions are recognized, your ideas help shape decisions, and your work has visible outcomes. Alpine is committed to your growth, offering opportunities to build new skills, take on leadership roles, and advance your career. With a strong focus on innovation, teamwork, and continuous improvement, Alpine empowers you to solve real challenges, influence how work gets done, and build a rewarding career with purpose.
