About Fluidstack

Technology is the most important tool humans have found for improving the human condition, but it is not a default good. It is a lever for ideology.

Today the most powerful technology in history is being built: machines that solve problems better than humans can. The most important mission of our generation is to imbue AI with democratic values: error-correcting institutions, freedom of speech, individual liberties. AI trains and runs on massive compute clusters. Whichever ideology builds the infrastructure the fastest is the ideology that will endure. Democracy is delicate and won't survive this technology by default.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

How We Operate

Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

The Manufacturing Engineering Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

Take product lines from clean sheet to production. This is an opportunity to reason from first principles. Challenge every industry standard and focus on Speed and Safety.
Build Data Center products behind 10 GW a year. Design and productize Data Center modules, switchgear, switchboards, busway, skids, E-Houses, and cooling systems that every Fluidstack building runs.
Own the designs, IP, and test campaigns. Full in-house design authority on platforms Fluidstack owns outright, from the first one-line through type testing to factory acceptance.

Role Scope

Own the clean-sheet design of Fluidstack's wholly-owned metal-clad MV switchgear platform, built around a purchased, type-tested vacuum breaker element.
Deliver a production-released, fully type-tested lineup running design and the IEEE C37.20.2 and C37.09 test campaigns in parallel.
Lead a dedicated team of engineers to develop the design, testing and compliance effort.
Run the type-test campaign at high-power laboratories, covering short-circuit, internal arc, BIL, and temperature rise, and own every redesign loop as needed.
Define the platform's ratings ladder, protection and IED integration, and racking and interlock architecture so one design covers MV distribution across 10 GW of buildings a year.

What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

You've designed metal-clad MV switchgear and/or GIS switchgear at an OEM as the accountable engineer.
You've taken a switchgear design through a full type-test campaign at a high-power lab and led the redesign after a failed internal arc or short-circuit shot.
You've made the insulation coordination, bus bracing, and creepage and clearance decisions.
You've integrated third-party breaker elements or operating mechanisms into an enclosure and secondary design you owned end to end.
You've led a product team from first concept to production release and held the design freeze against late-arriving change requests.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
