Professional Engineer

Engineering Manager / Professional Engineer

Turning Steel Structures into Game-Changing Spaces

You understand how things get built in the real world—not just how they look on paper.

You're technically sharp, detail-oriented, and at your best when solving complex design and constructability problems. You value accuracy, clear standards, and the autonomy to use your expertise to find the right solution.

ROXBOX is seeking an Engineering Manager / Professional Engineer to lead our design and engineering function for steel-frame modular and shipping container projects. You'll guide a team of architects and designers, establish technical direction, and follow projects from design through fabrication—ensuring what we draw can actually be built.

This isn't a purely theoretical engineering role. You'll work directly with the people designing, fabricating, and delivering the finished product.

What You'll Do

• Lead and develop a design team of approximately 4–10 architects and designers, including remote team members
• Establish technical direction, priorities, standards, and accountability across active projects
• Review designs and drawings for accuracy, constructability, materials, sequencing, installation, and code compliance
• Apply Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles to improve project execution
• Work directly with Production to resolve design and engineering questions during fabrication
• Coordinate with clients and internal teams to translate project requirements into practical technical solutions
• Identify and solve design, fabrication, and construction issues before they become field problems
• Improve engineering and design processes to increase consistency, quality, and efficiency as ROXBOX scales

What Makes You a Strong Fit

• 5+ years of engineering and design experience, ideally within modular construction, manufacturing, steel fabrication, or design-build environments
• Licensed Professional Engineer (PE), with the ability to obtain licensure in multiple states; existing multi-state licensure strongly preferred. ROXBOX can assist with obtaining additional state licenses as needed.
• Structural and MEP experience strongly preferred
• Strong understanding of constructability, fabrication, and real-world building conditions
• Able to create, interpret, review, and improve detailed technical drawings
• Comfortable making technical decisions independently while clearly communicating the reasoning behind them
• Experience leading technical teams, delegating work, setting priorities, and maintaining accountability
• Strong communication across design, shop, field, client, and leadership teams

Required Tools

• Revit
• AutoCAD
• SketchUp
• Technical drawing production and modification

Compensation & Details

• Full-time, salaried leadership position with benefits
• Monday–Friday with occasional after-hours coordination as needed
• On-site in Houston, TX (77041)
• Compensation: $115,000–$160,000, based on experience and current state licensure

Why ROXBOX?

• Solve real engineering and constructability challenges—not theoretical exercises
• See your work move quickly from design into fabrication and finished structures
• Work closely with Design, Production, Operations, and leadership
• Have meaningful ownership over technical standards and engineering processes
• Help build repeatable systems that support a growing modular manufacturing company

We build real things, and everything we design has to work in the real world. If you take pride in getting the details right, solving difficult technical problems, and seeing your work physically built, we'd like to hear from you.
