Chief Engineer, LV Switchboards & Distribution Busway

Fluidstack • Austin, TX

12d • $260,000 - $310,000

About The Position

Fluidstack is focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. This role is within the Manufacturing Engineering Team, which is responsible for taking product lines from clean sheet to production, building Data Center products behind 10 GW a year, and owning designs, IP, and test campaigns. The Chief Engineer will own the clean-sheet design of Fluidstack's UL 891 LV switchboard and UL 857 distribution busway platforms, from bus and bracing calculations to released production drawings. This includes releasing both platforms for production within 12 months, running design, NRTL listing, and short-circuit test campaigns in parallel. The role involves leading a dedicated team of electrical and mechanical engineers, backed by assigned drafting, compliance, and test staff. The Chief Engineer will drive the listing programs end to end, including test plans, witnessing testing at the NRTL, follow-up service setup, and the certification file. Collaboration with localization teams for design upgrades and with third-party vendors for product consistency across Fluidstack’s data center fleet is also a key part of the role.

Requirements

• Designed LV switchboards or busway at an OEM and personally carried a product through UL 891 or UL 857 listing, start to finish.
• Run short-circuit withstand and temperature rise test campaigns and redesigned bus, bracing, or joints after a failed shot.
• Made the contact system, joint, and plating decisions that determine whether a busway survives thousands of load cycles in service.
• Designed for manufacturability at volume: sheet metal, plating, torque specifications, and assembly sequences a production line can hold shift after shift.
• Led a product team through a compressed release schedule and held the line on test evidence when the schedule pushed back.
• Write ratings documentation and configuration rules clear enough that application engineers select the right product without calling you.

Responsibilities

• Own the clean-sheet design of Fluidstack's UL 891 LV switchboard and UL 857 distribution busway platforms, from bus and bracing calculations to released production drawings.
• Release both platforms for production within 12 months, running design, NRTL listing, and short-circuit test campaigns in parallel.
• Lead a dedicated team of electrical and mechanical engineers, backed by assigned drafting, compliance, and test staff from shared engineering services.
• Drive the listing programs end to end: test plans, witness testing at the NRTL, follow-up service setup, and the certification file the factory builds against.
• 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.
