About StructureIQ
StructureIQ is an early-stage, AI-powered structural health monitoring (SHM) company based in Champaign, commercializing technology exclusively licensed from the University of Illinois. Our Sentinel AI platform, combined with our wireless Xnode IoT sensor hardware, delivers continuous structural risk assessment and Structural Condition Index (SCI) scoring to the insurance industry and asset owners worldwide.
The Opportunity
This research-based position will involve working closely with the StructureIQ team to develop and update structural models, analyze structural behavior, and run simulations as part of our SHM solution for civil infrastructure including buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities. The objective is to develop an actionable strategy for assigning condition ratings to structures based on the developed models and live monitoring data. This includes analyzing pre- and post-event (e.g., earthquakes, storms, floods) sensor data, as well as long-term deterioration trends for different structures. The intern will work towards developing data workflows that quantify structural degradation and translate it into a meaningful condition rating.
Responsibilities
Analyze SHM datasets to develop structural condition rating criteria
Design and implement a workflow for structural condition assessment using sensor data
Create finite element models of structures using STAAD, SAP2000, or similar software
Perform model updating by integrating FE tools with Python or MATLAB scripting
Leverage simulated and real-world data to classify structural health states and degradation levels
Contribute to publications and technical documentation on data-driven SHM methods
Qualifications
Currently enrolled in a Master's or Ph.D. program in Civil Engineering or a closely related field
Strong understanding of structural analysis, model updating, and condition assessment
Hands-on experience with commercial FE software, proficiency with CAD tools and design drawings
Familiarity with analysis methods for damage identification, structural rating, or forensic evaluation
Prior research or industry experience in SHM, structural reliability, or data-driven infrastructure safety assessment is strongly preferred
What We Offer
Paid part-time or full-time internship with a competitive hourly rate
Direct exposure to cutting-edge structural engineering R&D at a deep-tech startup
Mentorship from experienced engineers and access to a talented, multidisciplinary founding team
Opportunity to contribute to a product that will be deployed in real-world infrastructure monitoring applications
Flexible working hours, start and end dates to accommodate your academic schedule
Location and Duration
This internship is based in Champaign. We anticipate a June 2026 start date, with the internship running through August 2026 and potentially continuing into the fall semester on a part-time basis.
