Façade / Structural Glazing Engineer

Façade / Structural Glazing Engineer Architectural Glass, Curtain Wall & Modular Façade Interface Development Project Overview STEEL ONE is developing transparent and opaque façade options that attach to a standardized structural cage. We are seeking a façade engineer with structural glazing/curtain-wall experience to develop a safe, drained, thermally isolated and replaceable glass interface. Primary Responsibilities • Develop glazing support and attachment concepts for STEEL ONE modules. • Advise on insulated, laminated, tempered/heat-strengthened and low-iron glass configurations. • Evaluate wind pressure, glass edge support, deflection and movement requirements. • Develop gasket, structural silicone, pressure-plate or mechanical-retention concepts as appropriate. • Design for drainage, pressure equalization, weather sealing and replacement. • Coordinate thermal breaks between glazing frame and structural steel cage. • Help define a universal façade attachment interface that can support multiple skin materials. Required Qualifications • Professional experience in curtain wall, structural glazing or architectural façade engineering. • Knowledge of IGUs, laminated safety glass, heat-treated glass, sealants and glazing gaskets. • Understanding of wind loading, thermal movement, water penetration and façade deflection. • Ability to produce engineering details and coordinate with structural/product engineers. Preferred Experience • Show completed curtain-wall or glazing projects and state your exact role. • Identify your experience with IGUs, laminated glass and structural silicone/mechanical retention. • State the software and analysis tools you use. • Briefly explain how you would design a replaceable glass panel on a modular steel structural cage. • Provide hourly rate or Phase 1 fixed-fee proposal. Initial Deliverables • Unitized curtain-wall design. • Custom curved/slumped glass systems. • Testing experience for air, water and structural performance. When Applying • Preliminary glazing-system section details. • Recommended glass and frame concepts for prototype testing. • Interface requirements between glass system and cage. • Drainage/weather-seal strategy. • Preliminary façade test plan. Confidentiality: STEEL ONE is proprietary and patent-pending technology. Initial discussions should remain non-confidential. Detailed geometry, connection concepts, engineering information and manufacturing details should be shared only after an NDA/IP agreement is in place. Engagement structure: Milestone-based. The first phase should focus on review, technical critique and a clearly defined development plan before deeper engineering work begins.
