About The Position

Fluidstack exists to make humanity more free by developing AI. They are focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, by rethinking every layer of the stack. This involves acquiring power, designing and building data centers, and operating them. The company values extreme ownership, autonomy, velocity, first principles thinking, and a passion for the problem space, often involving long hours at high intensity. This role will engineer substation designs for campus interconnection, including HV yards and MV distribution substations within the reference design. The engineer will own the physical and electrical design, including layouts, bus configurations, and equipment specifications to meet utility standards. A key aspect of the role is interfacing with utilities and consultants to ensure designs pass review and to standardize substation designs across multiple sites.
