Demand Management Controls Engineer - Power Grid Signals

Fluidstack; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking an engineer to design and operate demand management controls for data-center load management. You will coordinate IT load, cooling, and on-site generation while maintaining reliability and SLAs. The role requires power systems understanding and experience with market signals.

You will simulate strategies before deploying them across a fleet of facilities, with emphasis on fast iteration and end-to-end ownership.

Qualifications

• Experience engineering controls for energy systems such as demand response, microgrids, or industrial load management.
• Ability to design control logic acting on real load and maintain constraints.
• Experience integrating with utility or market signals and validating in simulation.

Responsibilities

• Engineer demand management controls: the logic that flexes gigawatts of load against grid signals and price.
• Build control strategies coordinating IT load, cooling, and behind-the-meter generation without touching an SLA.
• Integrate with markets and utilities: signals in, verified response out, settlement-grade data behind it.
• Prove strategies in simulation, then deploy them across the fleet.
