CHIEF Engineer

FluidstackWe 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!How We OperateBe 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 TeamExamples of key problems the team is working onTake 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 ScopeOwn the end-to-end design of Fluidstack's integrated MV/LV electrical skids and UPS E-House product lines, from one-lines and base frames to released-for-production drawing packages.Drive both products into production running design, compliance, and factory readiness.Lead a dedicated team that covers electrical, structural, HVAC, and fire protection engineers, backed by assigned drafting and compliance staff from shared engineering services.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 ForThe 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 taken packaged electrical equipment (skids, E-Houses, PDCs, or integrated power assemblies) from concept through production release as the single accountable engineer.You've owned designs that span electrical, structural, and mechanical disciplines and made the cross-discipline tradeoffs yourself instead of arbitrating between silos.You've designed to UL 891 or UL 1558 assembly requirements and NFPA fire protection standards on equipment an AHJ had to accept.You've stood on a factory floor and made the ship-or-hold call on a unit based on test results you witnessed yourself.You've led a design team of ten or more through a compressed release schedule without letting a quality gate slip.You write specifications and drawing packages precise enough that a manufacturer builds the right thing on the first pass.We are committed to pay equity and transparency.Fluidstack is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
