PVH (Tommy Hilfiger/Calvin Klein); Austin (TX); On-site; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack in Austin is seeking a on-site Controls Engineer to join the Capacity Delivery Team. You will verify installations, support point-to-point wiring, and resolve integration issues at the workface across gigawatt scale data center projects.

You will keep field data honest, document changes, and help ensure safety and commissioning progress on fast-paced builds, collaborating with contractors and internal teams to meet aggressive timelines.

Qualifications

• Field engineering experience on industrial or mission critical sites.
• Experience performing point-to-point at scale and maintaining trackers.
• Methodical troubleshooting from field device to head end.
• Ability to enforce quality with integrators at the panel.

Responsibilities

• Be the controls engineering presence on site: verify installs, support point‑to‑point, and chase integration issues at the workface.
• Walk controls installations daily: panels, wiring, and instruments against design.
• Support point‑to‑point and functional testing, resolving discrepancies the same day.
• Keep the field points database honest: every change documented, every deviation dispositioned.

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 you 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 Capacity Delivery Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Engineer gigawatts from drawing to energized, in months not years. Capacity Delivery owns technical execution across every build: the drawings, the field questions, and the engineering calls that keep multiple concurrent gigawatt sites moving.
• Engineer data centers that go up in months, not years. At that pace rework is not an option: problems get caught on paper or they cost a data hall.
• Design it once, build it a hundred times. Every site’s lessons roll into the reference design on the way to 50GW+, so each build starts ahead of the last.

Role Scope

• Be the controls engineering presence on site: verify installs, support point‑to‑point, and chase integration issues at the workface.
• Walk controls installations daily: panels, wiring, and instruments against design.
• Support point‑to‑point and functional testing, resolving discrepancies the same day.
• Keep the field points database honest: every change documented, every deviation dispositioned.

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 field‑engineered controls on industrial or mission critical sites.
• You’ve done point‑to‑point at scale and kept the trackers accurate.
• You troubleshoot from field device to head end methodically.
• You hold integrators to quality at the panel, not in the meeting.
• Bonus: BMS and EPMS platforms. Instrumentation. Electrical safety training. Commissioning support.

Equal Employment Opportunity

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
