About The Position

Fluidstack is seeking a Welding Engineer to join their team. The company's mission is to make humanity more free by building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. They are focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. This role involves acquiring power, designing and building data centers, and operating them, with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are key differentiators. The company hires people who care deeply about this problem space and operate with extreme ownership, velocity, first principles, and a love of the game, often putting in long hours at high intensity.

Requirements

  • Hold a current AWS Certified Welding Inspector (CWI) credential and have signed off on structural or pressure welds to AWS D1.1 or an equivalent code.
  • Written and qualified WPS and PQR documentation for production welding.
  • Stood up or run a weld quality program in a manufacturing or fabrication environment producing at rate.
  • Qualified welders and managed the continuity records that keep a line's certifications valid.
  • Root-caused weld defects on the floor and closed the loop by fixing the procedure, the fixture, or the training, so the same defect doesn't come back.
  • Read a weld map and a fabrication drawing and catch the problem before the first arc strikes.

Nice To Haves

  • ASME Section IX or B31 piping.
  • NDE certifications (UT, RT, MT, PT).
  • High-volume or modular fabrication.
  • Robotic or automated welding.
  • Data center or mission-critical infrastructure fabrication.

Responsibilities

  • Write and qualify welding procedure specifications and procedure qualification records to AWS D1.1 for the structural and pressure-boundary welds in modular data center assemblies.
  • Inspect and certify welds across the manufacturing line, signing off on the work an AHJ or auditor will not accept without a qualified inspector.
  • Build the weld quality program for a factory producing data center modules at rate, setting the acceptance criteria, NDE requirements, and first-pass-yield targets.
  • Qualify welders and welding operators, and stand up the continuity and requalification tracking that keeps the whole line certified.
  • Drive down weld defect and rework rates by root-causing failures on the floor and feeding fixes back into procedures and fixturing.

Benefits

  • Pay equity and transparency.
