Design Release Engineer, Modular R&D

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 weve ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who dont share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

Were 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!

• 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.

The Modular team designs and builds factory-produced serialized data center modules that ship as manufactured products not construction projects.

Examples of key problems the team is working on:

• Turn first-of-a-kind modular data center designs into repeatable serialized production builds without losing engineering intent between revisions.

• Keep design iteration fast while units at different build states move through the fab floor in inventory and at site simultaneously.

• Integrate power cooling and structural subsystems into a single releasable product definition that manufacturing supply chain and quality can all build against.

• Close the loop between as-designed as-built and as-maintained configurations so field units can be serviced and upgraded against accurate records.

• Own the release process from engineering to production: drawings BOMs and specs complete approved and released to manufacturing at the right revision every time.

• Run configuration and change management: administer ECOs and ECNs control revision history and disposition changes across in-flight units inventory and supplier orders with serialized modules at different build states.

• Keep BOM integrity across systems: engineering and manufacturing BOMs accurate the PLM system of record syncing cleanly to ERP and MES and discrepancies between as-designed as-built and as-maintained resolved rather than logged.

• Gate release readiness: drawing checks tolerance and spec completeness long-lead procurement flags and DFM feedback from the fab floor confirmed incorporated before anything releases.

• Drive release communication across design supply chain quality and production: publish release schedules and change impacts so procurement and the shop floor never build to stale revisions.

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people so if you dont fit this role exactly tell us where you would.

• Youve owned release or configuration management for manufactured hardware: modules vehicles machinery or similar serialized products.

• Youve administered ECOs across live production and know how to disposition a change across units already in build sitting in inventory and already shipped including deciding effectivity and living with the consequences.

• Your BOMs reconcile: as-designed as-built and as-maintained stay in sync because you keep them that way not because nobody has checked.

• You catch immature releases before the floor does: incomplete drawings missing tolerances and unspecified requirements dont get past you.

• Youve untangled an as-designed vs. as-built mess at a company scaling faster than its release discipline and you know exactly what breaks when that discipline is missing.

• You work across disciplines instead of throwing problems over walls: design supply chain quality and production all trust your revision state because you keep them informed before it matters.

• Bonus: hands-on with PLM platforms (Arena Teamcenter Windchill) ERP and MES integration (NetSuite SAP or similar) drawing standards (ASME Y14.5) or a manufacturing or quality engineering background.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
