Lead Electrical Engineer, Deployment Engineering

Fluidstack•Austin, TX

3d•$300,000 - $340,000•Hybrid

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 acquiring power, designing and building data centers, and operating them. The Deployment Engineering Team is crucial in turning designs into built, running infrastructure, closing the gap between engineering and operations readiness, and ensuring sites are faster and cleaner with each deployment. They are responsible for handing off reliable infrastructure from day one, as AI compute workloads require stability. The Lead Electrical Engineer will play a key role in this process, leading end-to-end deployment and commissioning of electrical power systems across multiple sites.

Requirements

Hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Owned field deployment and commissioning of electrical systems on data centers or mission-critical facilities.
Energized and commissioned MV distribution, UPS systems, switchgear, and standby generation on live or commissioning-phase infrastructure.
Built electrical commissioning standards, acceptance test procedures, and reliability runbooks that hold up at a portfolio level.
Led root cause analysis and corrective actions on power availability events under time pressure.
Mentored electrical engineers in the field and built their ability to commission independently.
Can travel to deployment and operations sites up to 50 percent of the time.

Nice To Haves

Professional Engineer (PE) license.
Experience building or leading an electrical commissioning or power reliability program across multiple concurrent sites.
Proficiency in SKM or ETAP for power system analysis, arc flash studies, and protective relay coordination.
Familiarity with CMMS platforms, EPMS/DCIM power monitoring, and predictive maintenance tools.
Knowledge of NFPA 70E, NFPA 110, IEEE 3006, and Uptime Institute reliability standards.

Responsibilities

Lead end-to-end deployment and commissioning of electrical power systems across concurrent sites, from pre-deployment readiness through energization, acceptance testing, and live handover.
Own operational reliability of electrical infrastructure across the live fleet, leading root cause analysis on power events and implementing corrective actions that cut repeat incidents.
Build and maintain electrical commissioning standards, acceptance test procedures, and runbooks covering MV distribution, UPS, switchgear, and rack-level delivery.
Serve as the on-site technical authority through switchgear energization, transformer commissioning, generator load testing, and UPS validation, resolving field failures before they delay handover.
Set and enforce electrical reliability standards across the portfolio: protective relay coordination, redundancy validation, failover testing, and arc flash compliance.
