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.

The Modular Team

The Modular team is designing a factory-built data center product for the largest AI compute buildout in history: engineered once, built repeatedly, and deployed faster than site-built construction allows.

Examples of key problems the team is working on

  • Move data center construction from the field to the factory: designs that ship as pre-terminated assemblies and harnesses instead of site-pulled wire.
  • Resolve the collisions between electrical, mechanical, and structural systems inside a module envelope where every routing path, penetration, and tolerance is contested.
  • Turn first-article builds and factory feedback into design revisions fast enough that each unit builds cleaner than the last.
  • Keep a repeatable product under configuration control while the design iterates between prototypes, factory runs, and field deployments.

Role Scope

  • Engineer the electrical systems of the modular product, power distribution, grounding, and controls integration, from concept through released drawings.
  • Own the one-lines, panel schedules, and cable and raceway design, drawn to a standard the factory installs from and the field connects to without hand-holding.
  • Solve the integration problems where electrical meets structure and mechanical: routing, penetrations, and tolerances where the disciplines collide.
  • Run electrical support for the factory and the field: RFIs answered same-day, and every fix engineered into the next revision instead of living as a redline.
  • Drive prototyping and validation through mockups, fit checks, and first-article reviews you attend in person.

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 electrical systems hands-on for complex physical products, modular construction, or critical facilities: prefab power skids, switchgear OEM products, modular data centers, or repeatable critical-facility work at an EPC.
  • You've supported production launches of your own designs, from first article through repeat builds.
  • You design for factory install, not field construction: you think in harnesses and pre-terminated assemblies rather than site-pulled wire.
  • Your drawings build clean. Fabricators and electricians rarely call, and when they do, you fix the drawing rather than explain it.
  • You work across disciplines instead of throwing problems over walls: when your raceway hits a structural member, you're in the room resolving it.
  • You iterate fast without losing configuration control, so every unit on the floor is built from a known revision.
  • Bonus: PE license, fluency in electrical codes and panel standards (NEC, UL 508A), data center power distribution experience, electrical CAD mastery (AutoCAD Electrical, Revit), and strong DFM instincts.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.

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!
