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.
Role Scope
Engineer mechanical design for energy storage: BESS enclosures, thermal management, and site integration behind the meter.
Own thermal design: cooling for containers and enclosures across climates, validated rather than vendored.
Integrate storage mechanically into the campus: pads, clearances, fire separation, and service access engineered.
Review vendor systems hard: what the datasheet claims versus what the fleet will live with.
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 done mechanical engineering for BESS, power electronics, or thermal-critical enclosures.
You've engineered thermal management validated by test.
You know the safety codes shaping storage siting, NFPA 855 among them, and design to them.
You evaluate vendor equipment beyond the brochure.
You've supported field deployment of your designs.
Bonus: Lithium-ion thermal behavior. CFD. Fire suppression interfaces. Utility-scale storage projects.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
