Connectivity Engineer, Deployment
About The Position
Fluidstack is building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI and is singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else. This role is on the Infrastructure Team, which is working on key problems such as compressing the install time for hundreds of thousands of fiber terminations per building in weeks, ensuring quality through rigorous testing of every link, and scaling a Low Voltage Contractor (LVC) workforce rapidly. The team operates with a philosophy of full autonomy, insane urgency, reasoning from first principles, and a passion for building something that matters. This role is responsible for owning the full lifecycle of physical installation projects, including coordinating LVC schedules, running quality assurance on contractor work, and ensuring installations meet design standards, safety codes, and labeling policies. The Connectivity Engineer will serve as the primary on-site technical point of contact for the Low Voltage Contractor and internal engineering teams, acting as remote hands during deployment and validation. They will manage the LVC deployment schedule, coordinate access and material delivery, and report progress. The role involves conducting multi-stage QA inspections on various aspects of the installation and performing or overseeing optical loss testing and copper integrity verification. The engineer will also act as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) for fiber and structured cabling best practices, generate final reports, and manage project closeout.
Requirements
- SME in fiber optics, structured cabling, and data center physical infrastructure, with hands-on deployment on mission-critical sites.
- Proficiency in running advanced fiber testing (OTDR, VFL, power meter) and knowledge of installation techniques and design standards.
- Experience racking, stacking, and cabling servers, network, and storage hardware at scale.
- Ability to read and translate technical drawings and schematics (AutoCAD, Visio).
- Proven ability to drive projects to completion through ambiguity.
- Willingness to travel 50% for onsite turn-ups.

- Serve as the primary on-site technical point of contact for the Low Voltage Contractor and internal engineering teams, and act as remote hands during deployment and validation.
- Manage the LVC deployment schedule to milestones, coordinate access, material delivery, and staging with facility operations, and report progress and delays.
- Run multi-stage QA inspections on rack placement, racking, cable routing, grounding, and labeling against the BoM and design documentation.
- Conduct or oversee optical loss testing (OLTS), OTDR analysis, and insertion/return loss on all fiber links, and verify copper (Cat6a/Cat8) integrity with certified testers.
- Act as the SME for fiber and structured cabling best practices (BICSI), generate final test reports, as-builts, and RCAs, and own closeout and handoff to operations.
