About Eagle

We're on a mission to radically transform the way we design and construct our built environment.

Backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Eagle acquires and transforms civil, structural, and MEP engineering firms with applied AI. We're an AI laboratory dedicated to providing engineers with the tools they need to solve the world's hardest infrastructure, energy, and climate problems.

By arming designers with frontier technology, our ambition is to build the most valuable, talent-dense engineering firm in the United States.


The opportunity

Our core thesis: 85% of what engineers do today is theoretically automatable, yet less than 5% has actually been touched by AI. That gap is the largest of any profession.


What you'll do

  • Walk us through your day-to-day and project-to-project workflows in detail

  • Talk through real (appropriately anonymized) projects so we understand the design intent behind work

  • Pressure-test product ideas and early prototypes: tell us, candidly, where they'd save real time, where they'd add risk, and where they fall apart against real practice

  • Help us map where electrical hands off to mechanical, plumbing, structural, and architectural - and where coordination and clash detection actually break down

  • Distill where the work is irreducible engineering judgment versus repetitive process that's ripe for automation


What we look for

  • A licensed PE in electrical engineering (or equivalent senior experience) who has led power, lighting, and low-voltage systems design on real building projects

  • Fluent in tools like Revit MEP, AutoCAD, and electrical design/calculation software (e.g., SKM PowerTools, ETAP, AGi32)

  • Deep curiosity for how things work - and the ability to explain why the work is done the way it is

  • Opinionated about your discipline's workflows - including what's broken about them

Compensation

  • Competitive hourly rate ($100–$150/hour, set by discipline depth and licensure)

  • 1099 independent contractor engagement (standard contractor onboarding, including a W-9)

  • Part-time and flexible - a few hours a week, scheduled around your full-time practice

  • Remote, U.S.-based

Confidentiality

We take client and project confidentiality seriously. We'll work with you to ensure nothing proprietary to your employer or your clients is ever exposed.

Skills Required

  • Licensed PE in electrical engineering or equivalent senior experience
  • Proven experience leading power, lighting, and low-voltage systems design on building projects
  • Fluent in Revit MEP and AutoCAD
  • Experience with electrical design/calculation software (e.g., SKM PowerTools, ETAP, AGi32)
  • Deep curiosity and ability to explain engineering intent and workflows
  • Opinionated about discipline workflows and able to critique tools/processes
  • U.S.-based
  • Able to engage as a 1099 independent contractor and provide a W-9
