Manufacturing Engineer, Line Design & Takt

About Fluidstack We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, people farmed or starved. Technology has given people more time for the things they want to do, rather than the things they have 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 that do not share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. How We Operate Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, often taking on scope outside the core role without being asked to get things done. Velocity. Drive everything forward as fast as possible. 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. Put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward. Role Scope Design the production lines: layouts, station counts, and takt math for module fabrication and assembly. Model capacity honestly: bottlenecks, buffers, and the real output curve under variation. Engineer the ramp plans: how each line gets from first unit to rate, with the constraints named. Redesign as the product evolves: new configurations absorbed without rebuilding the factory. 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. Designed manufacturing lines or major line extensions that are built. Takt and capacity models matched reality within noise. Used simulation or rigorous math to find the bottleneck before it found you. Designed for the operators: ergonomics, presentation, and flow. Defended a layout decision with data and changed it when the data said to. Bonus: Discrete event simulation, heavy product lines, greenfield factory design, lean and TPS grounding.
