Electrical Field Engineer — Data Center Operations

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! About the Role We are seeking a hands-on Electrical Field Engineer to support the commissioning, operation, and maintenance of critical electrical infrastructure across our hyperscale AI data center campuses. This is a field-first role — you will be on the floor, in the gear, and directly responsible for keeping our electrical systems running at the reliability levels that AI infrastructure demands. In addition to day-to-day operational responsibilities, this role carries engineering accountability for new construction support, capacity upgrades, site audits, and design review — providing the technical depth needed to both operate and improve the infrastructure you own. The ideal candidate has come up through electrical systems in mission-critical environments, is equally comfortable in a switchgear lineup and a design review meeting, and takes personal ownership of the reliability of everything connected to their single-line. Responsibilities Own day-to-day operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of high and medium voltage electrical systems including utility feeds, transformers, switchgear, generators, ATS/STS, UPS, PDUs, RPPs, and busway distribution. Develop, review, and execute MOPs, EOPs, and AOPs for planned and emergency electrical maintenance events; manage and coordinate third-party contractors and vendors performing work on site. Monitor EPMS and BMS platforms for electrical system performance, alarm response, and capacity tracking; maintain accurate as-built documentation and one-line diagrams following system modifications. Perform design and submittal reviews for new data centers and own engineering solutions for existing facility upgrades that add capacity, improve availability, and increase efficiency. Troubleshoot electrical faults and equipment failures; conduct formal Root Cause Analysis (RCA), lead engineering site audits, and produce risk reports with recommended mitigations and remediation plans. Act as resident engineer during new construction and commissioning; interface with internal design, server hardware, and EHS teams while providing procedure reviews, ad-hoc training, and critical event support across multiple regions. Basic Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field NETA or ASHRAE certification, or commissioning-specific education or coursework Knowledge of critical data center mechanical and electrical equipment Experience with the design, construction, operation, or maintenance of mission-critical facilities, especially data centers Demonstrated experience reading and interpreting one-line diagrams, electrical schematics, and equipment data sheets Strong familiarity with NFPA 70E, NEC, and OSHA electrical safety standards Experience with EPMS platforms and BMS/SCADA systems Proven ability to develop and execute MOPs and EOPs in a live critical environment Proficiency in Microsoft Office including Outlook, Word, and Excel Preferred Qualifications Knowledge of building codes and regulations applicable to your region Knowledge of commercial or industrial power systems or mechanical systems Experience carrying design concepts through exploration, development, and into deployment Experience using a variety of web-based and other software tools for calculation and data processing Experience in a hyperscale or colocation data center environment Electrical license (Journeyman or Master) or PE licensure Uptime Institute AOS or equivalent data center operations certification Experience with commissioning programs at Tier III or Tier IV facilities Familiarity with CMMS platforms for work order management and documentation Benefits Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity). Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms. Health, dental, and vision insurance. Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms. The base salary range for this position is $140,000 - $200,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
