With decades of combined experience across architecture, engineering, and construction, we’ve felt the industry’s pain points firsthand — slow approvals, endless redlines, and unclear requirements that derail even the best designs. We built Spacial to fix that. Our AI-powered platform automates structural and MEP engineering, transforming 2D plans into permit-ready, code-compliant drawings in days, not months. This isn’t just optimization. It’s a new standard built to give the AEC industry speed, clarity, and control from day one. By connecting architects, engineers, builders, and homeowners on a single platform, Spacial eliminates friction, streamlines approvals, and accelerates how ideas become reality. ## Qualifications - Minimum of 5 (five) years of experience in structural engineering - Bachelor’s Degree in Architectural Engineering or Civil Engineering with a Structural Concentration - Current knowledge of professional codes, laws, computer applications, and trends - PE license (SE license is a plus) - Proficiency and understanding of relevant engineering software (Risa 3D, Forte, Enercalc, Autocad) ## Responsibilities - The Project Engineer will provide project design and detailing, including plans (hand sketches and 2D CAD production), calculations (hand calculations and using computer analysis tools), specifications, and estimates, with moderate direction from senior staff - Performing structural analysis for both lateral (wind and seismic) and gravity systems for buildings comprised of steel, concrete, wood, or masonry - Producing a comprehensive set of building and/or component calculations tailored to the project type and jurisdiction - Providing project design (e.g. drawing, detailing, specifications, calculations, processing, plans, estimates) under the direction of a senior staff member - Producing accurate CAD work that meets appearance and CAD standards - Interacting with clients and represent RRM in a professional and courteous manner - Meeting budgets and deadlines Why Join Us? - Be part of a mission-driven team automating one of the world’s most complex industries - Work directly with experienced founders in a collaborative, fast-moving start up - Competitive compensation and equity in the company — every team member is a shareholder - Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage - 401(k) plan through Guideline - Exceptional career growth opportunities at an early-stage, high-impact start-up - Flexible hybrid work setup and a culture that values ownership, creativity, and innovation ## About Spacial AI ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Spacial provides AI-enabled structural, MEP, and energy engineering services for residential projects, pairing licensed engineers with proprietary AI to deliver permit-ready plans in days. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage – $10M raised) - **Headquarters**: Palo Alto, California, United States (with presence in Israel) - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Maor Greenberg (CEO), Jay Klein (CTO), Ami Avrahami (CPO) ## Core Business - **Industries**: Residential construction engineering (structural, MEP, energy), proptech - **Target Customers**: Architects, home builders, developers – B2B - **Mission**: Transform how homes are engineered, approved, and delivered so teams can move from plan to permit in days, not months. ## Products & Services - **Stamped Structural Engineering**: Full structural plans, calculations, framing, and lateral systems prepared for permit-ready residential projects. - **MEP Engineering**: Coordinated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering delivered as part of a single package. - **Energy Engineering & Compliance**: Title 24 and other state energy code modeling and compliance, integrated into the same workflow. - **AI-Powered Plan Review**: AI agents automatically detect clashes, load issues, and common code violations before licensed engineers review, enabling faster approval cycles. ## Market Standing - **Funding**: $10M Seed round (November 2025) led by TLV Partners - **Key Metric**: Total funding $10M; headcount of 24 employees (July 2026), growing 169% YoY - **Notable Investors/Partners**: TLV Partners (lead); acquired VRchitects (April 2025) - **Growth Signals**: Over 1,000 projects delivered; 400+ municipalities navigated; average 7–10 business day turnaround; 25% faster approval cycles; headcount expanded from ~9 to ~24 in one year; 3,265 LinkedIn followers (1,025% yearly growth) ## Competitive Advantages - **AI‑Assisted, Engineer‑Led**: Proprietary AI handles early clash detection and code checks, while all plans are reviewed and stamped by licensed engineers in‑house – giving speed without sacrificing professional liability. - **One Coordinated Partner**: Structural, MEP, and energy engineering under a single workflow, eliminating the coordination gaps that plague multi‑firm projects. - **Deep Code & Municipality Knowledge**: Built‑in local code and AHJ preferences for 400+ municipalities, reducing resubmittals and speeding approvals. - **Builder‑Friendly**: Founded by people with roots in both construction and technology, ensuring the service solves real‑world project constraints. ## Strategic Focus - **Expand National Network**: Building a network of architects, builders, and structural engineers to scale service coverage across the U.S. - **Platform vs. Service Model**: Remains an AI‑enabled services company (not a software platform) – technology is used to enhance delivery, but the core value is the stamped engineering package. - **Ongoing Product Development**: Continuing to invest in AI algorithms for plan review, coordination, and energy modeling to further reduce turnaround times. ## Why Work Here - **Mission‑Driven Team**: “Engineers, operators, builders, designers, and strategists” solving a broken industry process. - **Growth & Impact**: Rapidly scaling (24 people, 169% YoY growth) – employees have outsized ownership over outcomes. - **Tech + Construction Culture**: Engineers and AI researchers work directly with structural engineers and architects on real-world permitting problems. - **Work Environment**: Hybrid – HQ in Palo Alto, CA, with a major engineering presence in Tel Aviv, Israel. Small, collaborative teams. - **Notable Perks**: Opportunity to shape the early product and culture of a well‑funded seed‑stage company.
