Role Description We are seeking a senior Electrical Engineer to design Fluidstack's modular, factory-built electrical infrastructure - the electrical counterpart to our Manufacturing Engineering group. Speed-to-power at gigawatt scale depends on moving electrical scope from the field into the factory: modular e-houses, switchgear and PDU skids, prefabricated electrical rooms, and repeatable packaged power solutions. As the area SME, you will own electrical design for these productized solutions end to end - from equipment selection through design-for-manufacturability, vendor factory collaboration, factory acceptance testing, and site integration. You will turn one-off designs into standardized, versioned products that deploy across dozens of sites. Responsibilities - Own electrical design of modular and prefabricated power infrastructure for data centers: switchgear skids, modular electrical rooms, and modular data centers. - Apply design-for-manufacturability principles - standardization, tolerances, transportation and rigging constraints, factory workflows - so modules are repeatable, testable, and fast to deploy. - Develop and maintain standard designs, specifications, and configuration control for the modular product line, integrating lessons learned across deployments. - Support site integration and commissioning of modular solutions, feeding field findings back into product revisions. Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. - 7+ years of electrical engineering experience, including data center or other mission-critical facilities. - Strong background designing modular electrical solutions for data centers - e-houses, skids, prefabricated electrical rooms, or packaged power equipment. - Solid working knowledge of the data center power chain: MV/LV distribution, switchgear, transformers, UPS, generators, ATS, and Busway systems. - Demonstrated design-for-manufacturability experience: designing equipment or assemblies for factory production rather than field-built construction. - Experience working directly with equipment manufacturers, including design reviews and factory acceptance testing. Preferred Qualifications - BIM/VDC proficiency (Revit, Navisworks, clash detection) and prefabrication planning experience. - Professional Engineer (PE) license. - Prior experience at a hyperscale data center operator, modular infrastructure manufacturer, or packaged power solutions provider. - Exposure to quality systems and production engineering (ITPs, first-article inspection, NCR processes).
