Chief Engineer, Electrical Skids & E-Houses

Fluidstack • Austin, TX

15h • $260,000 - $310,000

About The Position

Fluidstack is building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI, focusing on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else. This involves rethinking every layer of the stack, from acquiring power and designing data centers to operating them. The company values speed, scale, autonomy, urgency, first-principles reasoning, and a passion for solving significant problems. The Manufacturing Engineering Team is responsible for taking product lines from concept to production, building Data Center products for 10 GW a year, and owning designs, IP, and test campaigns. This role is an opportunity to reason from first principles, challenge industry standards, and focus on Speed and Safety.

Requirements

• Taken packaged electrical equipment (skids, E-Houses, PDCs, or integrated power assemblies) from concept through production release as the single accountable engineer.
• Owned designs that span electrical, structural, and mechanical disciplines and made the cross-discipline tradeoffs yourself instead of arbitrating between silos.
• Designed to UL 891 or UL 1558 assembly requirements and NFPA fire protection standards on equipment an AHJ had to accept.
• Stood on a factory floor and made the ship-or-hold call on a unit based on test results you witnessed yourself.
• Led a design team of ten or more through a compressed release schedule without letting a quality gate slip.
• Write specifications and drawing packages precise enough that a manufacturer builds the right thing on the first pass.

Responsibilities

• Own 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.
