Senior Structural Engineer, Modular Systems & Skids

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

About the Role

The Senior Structural Engineer, Modular Construction is an outstanding opportunity for a driven engineer to take real ownership at the forefront of modular data center development. You will lead structural engineering efforts on custom modular systems across a multi-site, multi-state portfolio, from early-stage design through factory production, delivery, and site installation. This is an owner/developer role with approximately 25% travel. You will manage modular designs, external structural consultants and modular manufacturers, coordinate with civil and MEP engineers, and drive technical alignment across fabricators, GCs, and project teams.
