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. \nWe'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.\nWe hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!\nHow We Operate\nBe a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.\n\nInsane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.\n\nReason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.\n\nLove 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.\n\nBuild something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.\n\nAbout the Role\nWe are seeking a motivated and technically capable Controls Engineer to support the design, programming, commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting of building automation and control systems across our critical facility infrastructure. This is a mid-level role that blends hands-on field technician work with engineering responsibilities - making it ideal for a strong controls technician ready to grow into an engineering role, or an early-career controls engineer who wants to stay connected to the field.\nYou will work closely with the Central Engineering and Operations teams to keep BMS, EPMS, PLC, and equipment-level control systems running reliably in a 24/7 mission-critical data center environment - while also contributing to engineering tasks such as sequence development, commissioning support, deployments, system integration, and documentation. You are equally comfortable navigating a BMS front-end, calibrating a field sensor, or programming a PLC based on a Sequence of Operations.\nResponsibilities\nPerform preventive and corrective maintenance on BMS/BAS controllers, field devices, sensors, actuators, and control panels while maintaining accurate as-built documentation.\n\nDiagnose and resolve BMS, EPMS, and equipment-level control faults using front-end software and field test tools including multimeters, loop calibrators, and clamp meters.\n\nNavigate and configure BMS platforms (Ignition, Metasys, Niagara, EcoStruxure) including point mapping, alarm configuration, setpoint adjustments, and basic graphics updates.\n\nSupport PLC/HMI troubleshooting, PID loop tuning, trend log analysis, and integration between BMS, EPMS, DCIM, and equipment control systems across BACnet, Modbus, and SNMP.\n\nExecute commissioning activities including point-to-point verification, loop calibration, functional performance testing, and documentation for new construction and retrofit projects.\n\nEnsure full compliance with NFPA 70E electrical safety standards, site LOTO procedures, and formal change management processes including MOPs and CMMS documentation.\n\nBasic Qualifications\nAssociate's or Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Controls Engineering, Building Automation, or related field - OR equivalent vocational training and directly relevant experience.\n\nMinimum 3-5 years of hands-on experience in building automation, controls, or instrumentation in a commercial, industrial, or mission-critical facility environment.\n\nWorking knowledge of at least one major BMS/BAS platform (Ignition preferred, Schneider EcoStruxure, Metasys, Niagara, or equivalent) and control system communication protocols including BACnet IP/MSTP and Modbus TCP/RTU.\n\nAbility to read and interpret control drawings, wiring schematics, P&IDs, one-line diagrams, and equipment data sheets; proficiency with standard field test and calibration tools.\n\nFamiliarity with HVAC Sequences of Operations concepts, NEC wiring requirements, and NFPA 70E electrical safety and LOTO/LOTOTO procedures.\n\nStrong attention to detail, solid documentation habits, and ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience working in a data center, colocation facility, or other Tier III/IV mission-critical environment.\n\nIgnition certification\n\nBasic PLC programming experience (Allen-Bradley Studio 5000, Siemens TIA Portal, or equivalent).\n\nFamiliarity with EPMS platforms (Schneider Power Monitoring Expert, Eaton Power Xpert, or equivalent) and DCIM tools.\n\nCMMS experience (Maximo, SAP PM, ServiceNow, or equivalent) for work order management and documentation.\n\nOSHA 10 or OSHA 30 General Industry certification.\n\nExperience with data historian platforms (OSIsoft PI, Ignition, or equivalent).\n\nUptime Institute AOS or equivalent data center industry credential.\n\nBenefits\nCompetitive total compensation package (cash + equity).\n\nRetirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.\n\nHealth, dental, and vision insurance.\n\nGenerous PTO policy, in line with local norms.\n\nTotal compensation may also include equity in the form of restricted stock units.\nWe are committed to pay equity and transparency.\nFluidstack is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
