Electrical Design Engineer, Data Centers R&D

Fluidstack; San Francisco (CA); On-site; USD 203,000 - 232,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is hiring an electrical engineer to design data center electrical distribution in the reference design, handling medium voltage to the rack level.

You will run load-flow and short-circuit studies, coordinate with teams, and develop equipment specs for switchgear, transformers, UPS, and busway packages. You’ll answer field questions and help incorporate as-built deltas into the reference.

Qualifications

• You've designed electrical distribution for data centers or mission-critical facilities.
• You run your own studies and stand behind the settings.
• You've specified and evaluated major distribution equipment.
• Your one-lines are current, correct, and buildable.
• You've 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.

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.

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

• 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 designed electrical distribution for data centers or mission-critical facilities.
• You run your own studies and stand behind the settings.
• You've specified and evaluated major distribution equipment.
• Your one-lines are current, correct, and buildable.
• You've 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.
