Lead Structural Engineer, R&D — Gigawatt Thermal Design

Fluidstack; Austin (TX); Ibrido; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Fluidstack in Texas is seeking an experienced structural engineer to lead the design and validation of large-scale thermofluids hardware. You will own pressure-containing structures, perform rotordynamic analyses, and ensure safe, manufacturable solutions for megawatt-class compute infrastructure.

You will collaborate with turbomachinery and hardware teams, run modal analyses, and champion design choices from calculations through fabricated hardware.

Competenze

• Proven experience taking pressure-containing design from calculation to fabricated article.
• Experience running FEA on rotating hardware and correlating with test data.
• Led containment or burst-case design and defended it to safety-critical stakeholders.
• Worked the modal and critical-speed problem jointly with aerodynamics teams.
• Signed off a structure that was built and loaded.
• Bonus: flight/propulsion structures, spin pit testing, containment; PE license.

Mansioni

• Own structural analysis of the machine: impeller and rotor stress, casing and pressure containment, and the load paths through the packaged unit.
• Design the pressure-containing structures, and carry them from first calculation to hardware people are willing to stand next to.
• Run the rotordynamic and modal work alongside the turbomachinery engineer, covering critical speeds, whirl and the magnetic bearing interface.
• Design the containment case, so an energetic failure at speed stays inside the machine.
• Design the test cell structures and fixturing that carry the article, the drive and the loop under load.
