About the job

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!

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 chassis fabrication: the processes turning steel into module frames at takt.

- Develop the process plans: routings, work instructions, fixtures, and cycle times for weld-heavy fabrication.

- Launch new lines and product revisions: PFMEAs, capability runs, and ramp curves you own.

- Drive yield and cost: scrap, rework, and cycle time attacked with data weekly.

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 https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/fluidstack/05c2e69c-42f9-4fcb-9cf0-a467aaf98f1c.

- You've been the manufacturing engineer for heavy fabrication or weldment production.

- You've launched fabrication lines or major process changes to rate.

- You write work instructions operators actually use.

- You run PFMEAs that predict the real failures.

- You've cut cycle time on a process everyone said was optimized.

- Bonus: Welding process depth. Fixture design. Tekla or CAD fluency. Takt-based production systems.

Physical Requirements

- Work in non-climate-controlled environments, including active construction areas, data halls, electrical and mechanical rooms, and outdoor spaces. Temperatures can be high or low, and conditions can be humid, loud or dusty.

- Lift, carry, push and pull up to 40 pounds on your own.

- Sit, stand, walk, kneel, bend and crouch for long periods, including full shifts on your feet.

- Wear the required personal protective equipment (PPE), such as hard hats, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, gloves and hearing protection, and follow site safety rules.
