Fluidstack•Austin, TX

1d•$284,000 - $340,000

About The Position

Fluidstack is building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI, aiming to deliver 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else. This involves rethinking every layer of the stack, from acquiring power to designing, building, and operating data centers with teams spanning hardware and software. The company emphasizes speed, scale, extreme ownership, velocity, first principles thinking, and a passion for the problem space. This role will lead product engineering for the modular data center, encompassing the unit, structure, MEP, and integration, engineered as a single product. The position requires owning reference design releases, driving design for manufacturing and deployment, and arbitrating across mechanical, electrical, controls, and structural disciplines.

Requirements

Led multidisciplinary product engineering for complex physical products: modules, vehicles, equipment, or plant.
Released and revision-controlled a product that manufacturing built.
Drive DFM and DFA with the factory at the table.
Make cross-discipline trade-offs explicitly, with system-level judgment.
Taken first-of-a-kind hardware to repeat production.

Nice To Haves

Data center or power systems experience.
Configuration management depth.
Modular and skid construction experience.
Experience with Tekla, Revit, or CAD ecosystems.

Responsibilities

Lead product engineering for the modular data center: the unit itself, structure, MEP, and integration, engineered as one product.
Own the reference design releases: configurations, revisions, and the discipline that keeps a product line coherent.
Drive design for manufacturing and deployment: the factory and the field designed in, not discovered.
Arbitrate across disciplines: mechanical, electrical, controls, and structural trade-offs decided fast and recorded.
