BOM Coordinator, Modular R&D

Fluidstack; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 100,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI and seeks a BOM specialist to own the modular data center BOM, from design through production, ensuring accuracy and traceability across all structural, mechanical, and electrical parts.

You will drive engineering changes, reconcile revisions against POs and received material, flag long-lead items to supply chain, and establish robust part numbering and change discipline for rapid fleet production.

Qualifications

• Own the BOM across modular data center scope.
• Lead change control and ensure release with no orphaned revisions.
• Reconcile BOM against POs and received material.
• Coordinate between design engineers and buyers to create orderable parts.
• Maintain revision control and prevent data forks.

Responsibilities

• Own the BOM for modular data centers and maintain single source of truth.
• Drive BOM changes so revisions land in purchasing and manufacturing fast.
• Reconcile BOM against vendor quotes, POs, and received material.
• Flag long-lead and single-source items to supply chain immediately.
• Establish part numbering and change discipline from prototype to fleet production.

Job description

About Fluidstack

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

How We Operate

• Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.
• Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

The Data Center Design Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Lead the design, development, and execution of 10s to 100s of GWs of data centers this decade.
• Drive the next generation of liquid cooling and electrical distribution systems.
• Develop and scale first-of-a-kind modular data centers.
• Influence behind-the-meter designs and planning for multi-GW campuses.

Role Scope

• Own the bill of materials for the modular data center product: every part, quantity, and revision across structural, mechanical, and electrical scopes, held in one source of truth.
• Drive engineering changes through the BOM so a design revision lands in purchasing and manufacturing in days, with no orphaned parts and no stale quantities.
• Reconcile the engineering BOM against vendor quotes, purchase orders, and received material, and chase every discrepancy to a root cause.
• Flag long-lead and single-source items to supply chain the moment they enter the BOM, before they can threaten the build schedule.
• Build the part numbering, revision control, and change discipline that carries the modular program from prototype to fleet production.

What We're Looking For

• The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
• You've personally owned a multi-thousand-line BOM through heavy engineering change, and it stayed accurate while the design moved under it.
• You've run formal change control (ECOs, ECNs, redline to release) and closed the loop every time, with no unreleased revisions floating in email.
• You've reconciled BOMs against POs and received material, and traced every mismatch until it was explained.
• You've sat between design engineers and buyers, turning drawings into orderable part numbers, and both sides trusted your data.
• You've administered the system holding the BOM (PLM, ERP, or disciplined spreadsheets at scale) without letting revisions fork.
• You've supported a manufacturing floor or field build where a BOM error stopped work, and you've built the habits that keep that from happening.
• Bonus: Modular construction or data center equipment. PLM systems (Arena, Windchill, Teamcenter). ERP experience (NetSuite or similar). Long-lead procurement exposure. Configuration management for products in production.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
