Designer/Detailer (Electrical/Controls), Modular R&D

Fluidstack; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 208,000 - 263,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack seeks an experienced electrical/controls engineer for modular data center production. You will create detailed electrical models and drawings used by fabrication teams, ensuring clear BOM linkage and installation-level detail for fast, accurate shop orders.

You will maintain symbol libraries and templates, manage revisions, and implement changes quickly to keep units current. This role is based in the Bay Area with a focus on scalable data center modules.

Qualifications

• Detailed electrical or controls packages for fabrication or modular assemblies, in a panel shop, UL 508A builder, or industrial automation integrator.
• Wiring diagrams and cable schedules are daily outputs.
• Templates and standards maintenance to reduce repeat questions.

Responsibilities

• Produce detailed electrical and controls models and drawings for factory production (panels, raceway, cables, terminations).
• Detail installation-level layouts: conduit runs, cable trays, BOM-linked parts.
• Turn engineering changes into updated packages with version control.

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.

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 Modular team

The Modular team designs and builds factory-produced data center modules, taking gigawatt-scale infrastructure from site-built construction to repeatable manufacturing.

Examples Of Key Problems The Team Is Working On

• Design first-of-a-kind modular data centers that a factory can build, ship, and commission on repeat.
• Produce installation-level electrical and controls packages that fabricators and electricians build from without engineering support on the floor.
• Standardize the design system, libraries, templates, and BOM structures, so every unit is faster to detail and build than the last.
• Absorb rapid engineering changes across in-flight units without breaking configuration control.

Role Scope

• Produce the detailed electrical and controls models and drawings the factory builds from: panels, raceway, cable schedules, and terminations fully detailed, no gaps left to field interpretation.
• Detail to installation level: conduit and cable tray runs, panel layouts, wiring diagrams, and BOM-linked parts accurate enough that the shop orders and builds straight from the package.
• Turn engineering changes into updated, released packages in days, with revisions tracked cleanly so no one builds from a stale sheet.
• Own the model's cleanliness: build and maintain the standards, symbol libraries, and templates that make the next unit faster to detail than the last.
• Close out drawing issues at the source, fixing the template or standard that caused the question, not just the sheet.

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 detailed electrical or controls packages for fabrication or modular assemblies, in a panel shop, UL 508A builder, or industrial automation integrator.
• You live in an electrical CAD platform; wiring diagrams and cable schedules are your daily output, not an occasional task.
• Shops and electricians build from your drawings without calling. When they do call, you change the template or standard so that category of call never happens again.
• You model to standards and maintain library discipline: you build and curate symbol libraries and templates instead of just consuming them.
• You handle revision storms without version chaos; the released package is always the one being built.
• You know how things get installed: bend radii, terminations, and the clearances real electricians need, and your drawings reflect it.
• Bonus: AutoCAD Electrical or EPLAN, plant and BIM modeling (Revit, Plant 3D), panel and wiring diagram standards, and BIM coordination experience.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
