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 UL 891 LV switchboard and UL 857 distribution busway platforms, from bus and bracing calculations to released production drawings.
Release both platforms for production within 12 months, running design, NRTL listing, and short-circuit test campaigns in parallel.
Lead a dedicated team of electrical and mechanical engineers, backed by assigned drafting, compliance, and test staff from shared engineering services.
Drive the listing programs end to end: test plans, witness testing at the NRTL, follow-up service setup, and the certification file the factory builds against.
Work with localization teams to define required design upgrades and particularities: interconnect points, protection interfaces, transport and rigging limits, and seismic anchorage.
Work with third party authorized vendors to deliver a consistent product across Fluidstack’s data center fleet.
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 LV switchboards or busway at an OEM and personally carried a product through UL 891 or UL 857 listing, start to finish.
You've run short-circuit withstand and temperature rise test campaigns and redesigned bus, bracing, or joints after a failed shot.
You've made the contact system, joint, and plating decisions that determine whether a busway survives thousands of load cycles in service.
You've designed for manufacturability at volume: sheet metal, plating, torque specifications, and assembly sequences a production line can hold shift after shift.
You've led a product team through a compressed release schedule and held the line on test evidence when the schedule pushed back.
You write ratings documentation and configuration rules clear enough that application engineers select the right product without calling you.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
