Structural Engineer

Nodey • auckland, auckland • Posted June 20, 2026

About the Role

Nodey is a first-principles structural design platform for New Zealand and Australian residential engineering. Instead of leaning on prescriptive NZS 3604 tables, Nodey runs full FEA on every member, rafter, roof beam, lintel, wall framing, floor joist, bearer, column and pile and derives the loads automatically, runs ULS/SLS checks to NZS/AS standards, and outputs peer-review-ready calculation reports. The goal: cut residential design time by ~90% and standardise engineering quality at scale.

We’re pre-launch and in the final validation push.

The role

We need a structural engineer to be the human ground-truth for Nodey. You’ll run real residential jobs through the platform end-to-end, hand-calc the expected results, and pinpoint exactly where the software and the engineering diverge so we can fix it fast.

This is a hands‑on validation/QA role for an engineer who is focused on getting the numbers right. You won’t be drawing consents on deadline. ...
