Commissioning Electrical Engineer, Data Centers

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.

• Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.
• Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• 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.

The Commissioning Team works at the intersection of data center design, construction, and operations, implementing rigorous commissioning to guarantee reliability and efficiency.

• Help stand up a Cx program for 10s to 100s of GWs of DCs this decade.
• Develop plans for Cx and QA/QC for first-of-a-kind modular data center designs.
• Drive development and implementation of automated L4/L5 commissioning.

• Lead pre-commissioning through Level 5 commissioning for HV, MV, and LV electrical systems, including generators, generator paralleling switch gear, transformers, UPS and battery systems, switch gear, ATS/STS, PDUs, busways, RPPs, grounding, and lighting control, across multiple sites.
• Review and develop the Testing & Verification program with commissioning agents and engineers, confirming every electrical system meets design and operational intent before it goes live.
• Act as the owner's commissioning lead for electrical scope, coordinating general contractors, designers, and vendors across concurrent projects and resolving conflicts before they hit the schedule.
• Run site commissioning end to end: inspections, safety enforcement, progress tracking, and issue resolution from first energization through functional testing.
• Lead the final operational handover, ensuring every electrical system, its test record, and its documentation is ready for live service.

• You have personally commissioned HV, MV, and LV electrical systems, generators, switch gear, transformers, UPS, ATS/STS, PDUs, busways, and grounding, at hyperscale or mission-critical data centers.
• You have run commissioning phases end to end, from factory witness testing and pre-functional checks through integrated systems testing.
• You have diagnosed and resolved issues during startup under time pressure, and you can trace a fault through a control scheme without waiting for someone else to find it.
• You have coordinated general contractors, designers, and vendors across multiple live projects at once without losing track of open items.
• Test results, punch lists, and commissioning reports are something you maintain as you go, not something you reconstruct after the fact.
• You write clearly enough that a test report or handover package reads as decision-ready, not just data.
• Bonus: ASHRAE or BCxA commissioning guidelines. NETA test specifications. PLC and EPMS control systems, automatic and semi-automatic switching schemes. Mechanical systems commissioning exposure.

• 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.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
