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\nThe Modular Team\nThe Modular team designs and builds factory-produced, serialized data center modules that ship as manufactured products, not construction projects.\nExamples of key problems the team is working on:\nTurn first-of-a-kind modular data center designs into repeatable, serialized production builds without losing engineering intent between revisions.\n\nKeep design iteration fast while units at different build states move through the fab floor, in inventory, and at site simultaneously.\n\nIntegrate power, cooling, and structural subsystems into a single releasable product definition that manufacturing, supply chain, and quality can all build against.\n\nClose the loop between as-designed, as-built, and as-maintained configurations so field units can be serviced and upgraded against accurate records.\n\nRole Scope\nOwn the release process from engineering to production: drawings, BOMs, and specs complete, approved, and released to manufacturing at the right revision, every time.\n\nRun 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.\n\nKeep 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.\n\nGate release readiness: drawing checks, tolerance and spec completeness, long-lead procurement flags, and DFM feedback from the fab floor confirmed incorporated before anything releases.\n\nDrive 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.\n\nWhat We're Looking For\nThe 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.\nYou've owned release or configuration management for manufactured hardware: modules, vehicles, machinery, or similar serialized products.\n\nYou've 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.\n\nYour BOMs reconcile: as-designed, as-built, and as-maintained stay in sync because you keep them that way, not because nobody has checked.\n\nYou catch immature releases before the floor does: incomplete drawings, missing tolerances, and unspecified requirements don't get past you.\n\nYou've 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.\n\nYou 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.\n\nBonus: 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.\n\nWe are committed to pay equity and transparency.\nFluidstack is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer.
