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 Product Engineering Team

Product Engineering builds the power and cooling systems that let Fluidstack deliver gigawatt-scale AI data centers faster and denser than the grid-standard supply chain allows. The SST group is designing solid-state transformers as a core building block of that power architecture.

Examples of key problems the team is working on

Architect a medium-voltage solid-state transformer that can be manufactured, serviced, and scaled across gigawatt-scale campuses, not just demonstrated in a lab.
Define the interface between the SST and the MVDC distribution system, including protection, control boundaries, and fault behavior.
Build a semiconductor and magnetics supply strategy that survives a thin 10kV SiC market over a multi-year horizon.
Take converter hardware from topology selection through working prototypes on a schedule that data center construction actually depends on.

Role Scope

Write the control firmware for every SST cell and block: modulation, closed-loop voltage and current control, and voltage sharing across dozens of series-stacked cells.
Build the fast protection path that detects a fault and shuts the converter down within microseconds, from sensing to safe state.
Sequence startup, precharge, cell bypass, and the reconfiguration of the output from 800 V to 1,500 V.
Connect cell controllers to the block master and the site control system across isolation barriers, with telemetry operators can act on.
Prove the firmware on hardware-in-the-loop rigs before it runs on a high-voltage prototype.

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 written control firmware that runs a power converter at full power, and debugged it on the bench with a scope in hand.
You've controlled resonant or dual active bridge converters, or balanced series-connected cells.
You've built protection logic in an FPGA or DSP that trips in microseconds and fails safe.
You've used hardware-in-the-loop or model-based design to catch bugs before they reached hardware.
You keep firmware in version control with reviews and automated tests, and can show the release history of something you shipped.
Bonus: Embedded targets for power control (TI C2000, Xilinx or Intel FPGAs). Model-based design (MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS). Hardware-in-the-loop platforms (Typhoon HIL, OPAL-RT). Industrial communication (CAN, EtherCAT, fiber links). Functional safety practice (IEC 61508, MISRA C).

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
