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!

About the Role

We are seeking a senior Electrical Engineer to design Fluidstack's modular, factory-built electrical infrastructure - the electrical counterpart to our Manufacturing Engineering group. Speed-to-power at gigawatt scale depends on moving electrical scope from the field into the factory: modular e-houses, switchgear and PDU skids, prefabricated electrical rooms, and repeatable packaged power solutions.

As the area SME, you will own electrical design for these productized solutions end to end - from equipment selection through design-for-manufacturability, vendor factory collaboration, factory acceptance testing, and site integration. You will turn one-off designs into standardized, versioned products that deploy across dozens of sites.

Responsibilities

• Own electrical design of modular and prefabricated power infrastructure for data centers: switchgear skids, modular electrical rooms, and modular data centers.
• Apply design-for-manufacturability principles - standardization, tolerances, transportation and rigging constraints, factory workflows - so modules are repeatable, testable, and fast to deploy.
• Develop and maintain standard designs, specifications, and configuration control for the modular product line, integrating lessons learned across deployments.
• Support site integration and commissioning of modular solutions, feeding field findings back into product revisions.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 7+ years of electrical engineering experience, including data center or other mission-critical facilities.
• Strong background designing modular electrical solutions for data centers - e-houses, skids, prefabricated electrical rooms, or packaged power equipment.
• Solid working knowledge of the data center power chain: MV/LV distribution, switchgear, transformers, UPS, generators, ATS, and Busway systems.
• Demonstrated design-for-manufacturability experience: designing equipment or assemblies for factory production rather than field-built construction.
• Experience working directly with equipment manufacturers, including design reviews and factory acceptance testing.

Preferred Qualifications

• BIM/VDC proficiency (Revit, Navisworks, clash detection) and prefabrication planning experience.
• Professional Engineer (PE) license.
• Prior experience at a hyperscale data center operator, modular infrastructure manufacturer, or packaged power solutions provider.
• Exposure to quality systems and production engineering (ITPs, first-article inspection, NCR processes).

Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity).
• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.

The base salary range for this position is $200,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
