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.

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 quality at the factory: the QMS, the inspection plan, and the number that matters, first‑pass yield.
• Build the quality system from launch: control plans, inspection points, and NCR flow that closes at root cause.
• Lead the inspectors and grow quality thinking into the production crews themselves.
• Hold the gate on shipment: what leaves the factory meets spec, on your signature.

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 led quality in fabrication or heavy manufacturing.
• You've stood up or overhauled a QMS that passed external scrutiny.
• You drive root cause with 8D or equivalent, and your corrective actions stick.
• You've held the line on a shipment call under schedule pressure.
• You put quality at the source with training and error‑proofing.
• Bonus: ISO 9001 implementation. Weld quality and CWI interface. Supplier quality. Measurement systems analysis.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
