Job summary

Fluidstack in Austin, TX is seeking a QA lead to own QA across capacity delivery engineering, ensuring design deliverables are checked before field deployment and quality is built in from the start.

You will build a productized QA program with checklists and acceptance criteria, audit vendor and field quality against spec, and drive root-cause improvements so future sites avoid repeat errors.

Qualifications

• You've run QA or QC on large construction or infrastructure engineering programs.
• You've caught the expensive error on paper, and you can tell the story.
• You've written inspection and test plans crews actually followed.
• You close NCRs at root cause instead of at symptom.
• You hold quality without becoming the schedule's enemy.

Responsibilities

• Own QA across capacity delivery engineering: design deliverables checked before they hit the field, not after.
• Build the QA program for a productized build: checklists, hold points, and acceptance criteria embedded in the reference design.
• Audit vendor and field quality against spec, and drive nonconformances to closed root cause.
• Feed every quality lesson back into the design so the next site can't repeat the mistake.

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.

Role Scope

• Own QA across capacity delivery engineering: design deliverables checked before they hit the field, not after.




• Build the QA program for a productized build: checklists, hold points, and acceptance criteria embedded in the reference design.




• Audit vendor and field quality against spec, and drive nonconformances to closed root cause.




• Feed every quality lesson back into the design so the next site can't repeat the mistake.

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 run QA or QC on large construction or infrastructure engineering programs.




• You've caught the expensive error on paper, and you can tell the story.




• You've written inspection and test plans crews actually followed.




• You close NCRs at root cause instead of at symptom.




• You hold quality without becoming the schedule's enemy.




• Bonus: Data center or mission-critical builds. ISO 9001 program experience. Commissioning interface. Owner-side QA.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
