Sensequake hire structural engineer

1. We are recruiting an earthquake/structural engineer
Company:
Sensequake develops software, sensor units and provides services based on its proprietary
technology. Sensequake is the first sensing-based platform to assess integrity and natural hazard
vulnerability of infrastructures. Rather than relying on visual inspection and traditional
engineering practices, Sensequake performs smart assessment based on real data from temporary
sensors deployed on structure surfaces.
Job description:
The structural engineer will be responsible for the following tasks:
 Designing sensing layout (will be trained by Sensequake)
 Supervising the sensing tests
 Performing modal identification to derive modal properties (will be trained by Sensequake)
 Performing time history analysis for seismic analysis
 Predicting the performance level based on HAZUS and ASCE 41
 Proposing a retrofit scheme
 Writing engineering reports
 Communication with clients
 Presenting the technology in different venues
 Marketing and finding new clients

2. Expertise and skills needed:
 Member of OIQ
 3 to 10 years of experience in structural dynamic analysis, design and retrofit of existing
structures
 Bachelor, Master or Ph.D. degree in structural/earthquake engineering
 Strong background in physics, mathematics, structural analysis and earthquake
engineering, advanced dynamic and non-linear analysis
 Proficiency to work with the following software: Sap2000, Etabs, AutoCad, Matlab, and
other Finite element software
 Experienced in structural design and retrofit schemes
 Strong communication and writing skills in both English and French
Assets:
 Experienced in shake table and sensing test
 Software: OpenSees, Robot, Revit
Other possible contributions to Sensequake technology
 Extending the Sensequake technology to bridges; this task will include direct seismic
assessment of bridges based on ambient vibration test without making any finite element
model
 Direct seismic assessment of flexible roofs based on ambient vibration tests
 Structural analysis of buildings with wind loading directly based on ambient vibration tests
 Modification factors to estimate non-linear response from the linear analysis
 Implementing P-delta effects
 Soil-structure interaction in ambient vibration levels and its implementation when the
structure is subjected to strong earthquakes
 Damage detection based on ambient vibration tests
 Non-structural assessment based on ambient vibration tests
What Sensequake offers:
 Training to perform sensing test and working with 3D-SAM software
 Competitive salary and stock option plan
 Flexible work schedule
 Joining a highly talented team and a fast growing company
 Fun and friendly environment
