Senior Manufacturing Engineer, Integration / Assembly

Fluidstack; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Fluidstack is hiring for a Manufacturing Engineer specialized in assembly and integration of high‑scale modules. You will own the end‑to‑end provision of assembly operations, drive takt‑based line balancing, and shape launch readiness for new module configurations.

You will lead ECO-to-floor transitions, standardize work instructions and torque specs, and push ramp efficiency with daily improvements on throughput and yield.

Qualifications

• Must have engineered assembly operations for large, complex products such as modules, vehicles, equipment, or skids.
• Able to balance lines and design stations that hit takt.
• Experience launching products through ECO storms and keeping the floor building.
• Standardize work instructions and torque specs as primary sources of truth.

Responsibilities

• Own manufacturing engineering for integration and assembly of modules (mechanical, electrical, controls).
• Build the assembly process: station design, sequence, torque and test standards, line balance.
• Launch new module configurations without breaking the line and manage ECO to floor transitions.
• Improve ramp performance: reduce hours per unit and raise first-pass yield week over week.

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

• Own manufacturing engineering for integration and assembly: mechanical, electrical, and controls fit-out of modules at takt.
• Build the assembly process: station design, sequence, torque and test standards, and line balance.
• Launch new module configurations without breaking the line: change management from ECO to floor.
• Attack the ramp curve: hours per unit down and first-pass yield up, week over week.

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 engineered assembly operations for large, complex products: modules, vehicles, equipment, or skids.
• You've balanced lines and designed stations that hit takt.
• You've launched products through ECO storms and kept the floor building.
• You standardize: your work instructions and torque specs are the single source of truth.
• You live on the line during launch.
• Bonus: Low-volume, high-mix assembly. Electrical and controls assembly processes. MES systems. Lean production depth.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
