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 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!

About the Role

We are seeking a senior Electrical Engineer to own the architecture standardization and delivery of on-site and supplemental power across our data center campuses. This spans renewables power distribution (solar and wind) battery energy storage on-site generation and - critically - temporary power and mobile substation solutions that bring capacity online ahead of permanent utility delivery.

As the area SME you will define reference architectures that balance CAPEX/OPEX reliability and evaluate next-generation power technologies; and standardize design packages so quality is repeatable and project timelines shrink. You will serve as a technical escalation point for on-site power availability and performance issues driving root cause analysis and lessons learned across the fleet.

Responsibilities

  • Define the reference architecture for on-site and supplemental power generation and distribution balancing CAPEX/OPEX and reliability goals.

  • Design and deliver temporary power and mobile substation solutions to energize facilities ahead of or in parallel with permanent utility infrastructure - including bridging power strategies that accelerate speed-to-power.

  • Lead electrical design and integration of renewables power distribution (solar and wind) and BESS into campus MV systems including collector systems interconnection and protection interfaces.

  • Evaluate and adopt new power technologies (e.g. fuel cells advanced battery storage microgrid controllers) and develop the technical justification for major capital investments.

  • Serve as a technical escalation point for on-site power availability or performance issues driving root cause analysis and lessons learned across sites.

  • Standardize design packages and operational procedures to ensure repeatable quality and minimize project timelines across the portfolio.

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Power Systems Energy or a related field or equivalent practical experience.

  • 8 years of experience in power systems power generation or power distribution engineering for grid-connected facilities.

  • Experience providing temporary power and/or mobile substations to facilities - including generator farms rental fleets mobile transformers/switchgear and bridging power schemes.

  • Experience designing or integrating renewables power distribution (solar and/or wind) including collector systems and interconnection to MV distribution.

  • Strong working knowledge of MV distribution equipment: transformers switchgear generators and associated protection and controls.

  • Proficiency performing or reviewing power system studies (load flow short circuit coordination arc flash).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Professional Engineer (PE) license.

  • Experience with utility and on-site power generation design and commissioning for data center supplemental power.

  • Experience with BESS fuel cells microgrid controllers and grid support functions (demand response voltage/frequency support).

  • Familiarity with ISO/RTO interconnection and NERC/FERC requirements (ERCOT PJM MISO CAISO) including large-load ride-through solutions (STATCOM synchronous condensers BESS).

Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation package (cash equity).

  • Retirement or pension plan in line with local norms.

  • Health dental and vision insurance.

  • Generous PTO policy in line with local norms.


The base salary range for this position is $200000 - $250000 per year depending on experience skills qualifications and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
