Job summary

Fluidstack is seeking a Deployment Engineer to deploy and commission electrical power systems at data center sites. You’ll run testing, verify protection, supervise energization, and hand over to operations with clear documentation.

You’ll collaborate with design and operations teams, identify installation issues, interpret relay settings, and support fault diagnosis at the field level. A PE license or active licensure pursuit is a plus. Willingness to travel up to 50% is required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
• Hands-on accountability through energization and live acceptance.
• Ability to interpret relay settings and diagnose faults on power distribution.
• Experience with electrical subcontractors and testing firms on active sites.
• Willingness to travel to deployment and operations sites up to 50% of the time.

Responsibilities

• Deploy and commission electrical power systems at data center sites.
• Run equipment testing, protective relay verification, and generator tests.
• Prepare acceptance documentation through to live handover.
• Support reliability of deployed infrastructure and respond to power events.
• Contribute to commissioning checklists and energization procedures.

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. 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 Deployment Engineering Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Turn 50GW+ of design into 50GW+ of built, running infrastructure. The Design team sets the blueprint. This team is where it survives contact with a live construction schedule and becomes a real site.

• Close the gap between engineering-complete and operations-ready. A design that passes review still has to survive commissioning, integration, and energization, and that gap is where deployment work lives.

• Make the tenth site faster and cleaner than the first. Every deployment feeds field learnings back into the standards, so a one-off fight at one site becomes a repeatable playbook at the next.

• Hand off infrastructure that's reliable from the moment it goes live. AI compute workloads don't tolerate a shaky handover, so what this team commissions has to run right the day operations takes over.

Role Scope

• Deploy and commission electrical power systems at data center sites, running equipment testing, protective relay verification, switchgear and transformer startup, generator load testing, and acceptance documentation through to live handover.

• Support operational reliability of deployed electrical infrastructure, responding to power events and equipment failures on live sites and implementing fixes that prevent recurrence.

• Resolve field conflicts between installation conditions and electrical system requirements during commissioning, escalating with a clear description and proposed resolution.

• Validate protective relay settings, UPS performance, and generator transfer sequencing against operational availability requirements.

• Contribute to electrical commissioning checklists, energization procedures, and reliability run books that reduce risk across future deployments.

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 hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

• You've supported or led electrical commissioning on data centers or mission-critical facilities, with hands‑on accountability through energization and live acceptance.

• You can identify installation errors, interpret relay settings, and support fault diagnosis on data center power distribution at the operational level.

• You've worked effectively alongside electrical subcontractors and testing firms on active sites while holding quality and safety standards.

• You can travel to deployment and operations sites up to 50 percent of the time.

• Bonus: Professional Engineer (PE) license, or active pursuit of licensure. MV systems, switchgear commissioning, and generator load bank testing experience. Familiarity with EPMS/DCIM power monitoring, CMMS platforms, and electrical predictive maintenance practices. Knowledge of NFPA 70E, NFPA 110, and IEEE reliability standards for data center power systems.

Compensation: $200,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Offers equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
