Who this role is best for

Aimed at mid-to-senior structural engineers who have experience in industrial or modular construction and can work with fabricators to design stamp-ready steel structures.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with modular construction experience and a background in structural steel design
    — “You've designed structural steel for industrial or modular construction.”
  • Professionals who can produce detailed, factory-ready structural drawings and calculations
    — “Own the structural calcs and drawings: steel designed to AISC, stamp-ready, and detailed for the factory.”
  • Individuals who have worked on lifting, transport, and erection conditions for modular units
    — “You've engineered lifting, transport, and erection conditions.”

Things to consider

  • The role demands a high degree of autonomy and initiative in taking on scope without being asked
    — “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.”

How to stand out

  • Highlight prior work on transport and lifting engineering for modular structures
    — “Design for shipping and lifting: modules that survive the road and the crane, engineered rather than assumed.”
  • Showcase ability to standardize structural designs for consistent deployment across multiple sites
    — “Standardize the structural reference design so every site starts from proven steel.”
  • Demonstrate experience with regulatory permitting and sealed engineering packages
    — “You've sealed or supported sealed packages through permitting.”

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

  • Engineer the structures: modular units, equipment supports, and buildings designed for fast fabrication and faster erection.
  • Own the structural calcs and drawings: steel designed to AISC, stamp-ready, and detailed for the factory.
  • Design for shipping and lifting: modules that survive the road and the crane, engineered rather than assumed.
  • Standardize the structural reference design so every site starts from proven steel.

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 designed structural steel for industrial or modular construction.
  • Your connections and members calc out and build clean.
  • You've engineered lifting, transport, and erection conditions.
  • You work with fabricators and respect what the shop can hold.
  • You've sealed or supported sealed packages through permitting.
  • Bonus: PE or SE license. Tekla interface. Seismic design depth. Modular and skid structures.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
