Electrical Design Engineer, Data Centers R&D

Fluidstack; Los Angeles (CA); On-site; USD 203,000 - 232,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking an engineer to design and verify electrical distribution for data centers and other mission-critical facilities. You will own studies, specify equipment, and work end-to-end with field teams to keep builds on schedule.

Responsibilities include running load flow and short-circuit studies, developing switchgear, transformers, UPS and busway specs, and supporting energization on designs you drew. Candidates should be adept with ETAP or SKM and NEC knowledge.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Let's specified electrical distribution for data centers or mission-critical facilities.
• You run your own studies and stand behind the settings.
• Let's specified and evaluated major distribution equipment.
• Your one-lines are current, correct, and buildable.
• Let's supported energization on designs you drew.

Responsibilities

• Engineer data center electrical distribution in the reference design: medium voltage through busway to the rack.
• Run the studies: load flow, short circuit, coordination, and arc flash owned in ETAP or SKM.
• Develop equipment specs: switchgear, transformers, UPS, and busway packages evaluated and integrated.
• Support builds: field questions answered same-day, as-built deltas engineered back into the reference.

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.

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

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.


• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.


• Reason from 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.


• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

Role Scope

• Engineer data center electrical distribution in the reference design: medium voltage through busway to the rack.


• Run the studies: load flow, short circuit, coordination, and arc flash owned in ETAP or SKM.


• Develop equipment specs: switchgear, transformers, UPS, and busway packages evaluated and integrated.


• Support builds: field questions answered same-day, as-built deltas engineered back into the reference.

What We're Looking For

• Let's specified and evaluated major distribution equipment.


• Your one-lines are current, correct, and buildable.


• Let's supported energization on designs you drew.


• Bonus: ETAP or SKM depth. Medium voltage design. UPS and static transfer systems. NEC mastery.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
