Robotics Deployment Project Manager

Fluidstack; New York (NY); Hybrid; USD 110,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack in New York is building civilization-scale AI infrastructure and robotics-enabled deployments across data centers and sites.

We seek a hands-on engineer to run pilots, installs, and scale-ups of robotics at live sites, coordinating vendors and site teams throughout the process.

You will own safety reviews, train staff, and drive reliable uptime and throughput after go-live, with a focus on continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• Experience deploying robotics or automation cells in real operating environments.
• Ability to manage integrator and vendor scopes to defined acceptance criteria.
• Strong focus on safety reviews and post-go-live performance.

Responsibilities

• Run deployment projects for robotics in live sites and factories.
• Coordinate robot vendors, integrators, and site teams from survey to steady-state.
• Own the deployment playbook: safety, commissioning, training, and support.
• Track performance post go-live and drive fixes for underperforming cells.

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

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.

• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• Reason from 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.

• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

Role Scope

• Run the projects that put robotics into live sites and the factory: pilots, installs, and scale-up.

• Coordinate robot vendors, integrators, and site teams from first survey to steady-state operation.

• Own the deployment playbook: safety, commissioning, training, and support, so site two is easier than site one.

• Track performance after go-live and force the fix-or-pull decision on underperforming cells.

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 deployed robotics, automation cells, or heavy equipment into operating environments.

• You've managed integrator and vendor scopes to acceptance criteria you wrote.

• You take safety reviews seriously enough to stop a job over one.

• You've turned a pilot into a repeatable rollout kit.

• You measure post-deployment reality, uptime and throughput, and act on it.

• Bonus: Industrial robotics platforms. Data center or manufacturing environments. Functional safety basics. Field commissioning.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
