BOM/Estimating, Modular R&D

Fluidstack•Austin, TX

1d•$186,000 - $220,000

About The Position

Fluidstack is seeking individuals to help make humanity more free by building frontier compute infrastructure for AI. They are singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. This involves acquiring power, designing and building data centers, and operating them. The company hires people who care deeply about this problem space and operate with extreme ownership, full autonomy, velocity, first principles, and a love of the game, often working long hours at high intensity. This role will own the BOMs for modular designs, ensuring they are complete, structured, and costed from concept through release. It will also involve building an estimating engine for costs by assembly and configuration, keeping design and BOM in lockstep, and feeding procurement and finance with accurate quantities and costs.

Requirements

You've built and managed engineering BOMs for complex products or construction.
You've estimated at both speed and rigor, and tracked estimate against actual.
You structure data properly: parents, children, and effectivity done right.
You reconcile relentlessly across CAD, ERP, and reality.
You automate takeoffs and rollups rather than grinding them.

Nice To Haves

PLM and ERP systems.
Steel and MEP takeoff.
Cost engineering methods.
Data center equipment familiarity.

Responsibilities

Own the BOMs for modular designs: complete, structured, and costed from concept through release.
Build the estimating engine: costs by assembly and configuration that quote a unit in hours, not weeks.
Keep design and BOM in lockstep: every revision reconciled, every delta explained.
Feed procurement and finance: quantities and costs they can order and budget against.
