Mechanical Engineer, Deployment Engineering

Fluidstack Deployment Engineering Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on:

• Turn 10s to 100s of GWs of design into built, running infrastructure.

• Close the gap between engineering-complete and operations-ready.

• Make the tenth site faster and cleaner than the first.

• Hand off infrastructure that's reliable from the moment it goes live.

Role Scope:

• Deploy and commission cooling and mechanical systems at data center sites, running equipment startup, functional testing, performance verification, and acceptance testing through to live handover.

• Support operational reliability of deployed cooling infrastructure, responding to thermal events and equipment failures on live sites and implementing fixes that prevent recurrence.

• Resolve field conflicts between installation conditions and mechanical system requirements during commissioning, keeping deployments on schedule.

• Monitor and validate thermal performance of cooling systems under live AI compute load, flagging degradation and driving corrective action before it affects availability.

• Contribute to mechanical commissioning checklists, startup procedures, and maintenance run books that improve consistency across future deployments.

What We're Looking For:

• You hold a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

• You've supported or led mechanical commissioning on data centers or high-density facilities, with hands-on accountability through equipment startup and live acceptance.

• You can identify installation errors, diagnose performance shortfalls, and support corrective action on chilled water, CDU, or direct liquid cooling systems at the operational level.

• You've worked effectively alongside contractors and commissioning agents on active sites while holding the line on quality.

• You can travel to deployment and operations sites up to 50 percent of the time.

• Bonus:
  Professional Engineer (PE) license, or active pursuit of licensure. Direct liquid cooling or CDU commissioning and operational experience at AI-class rack densities. Familiarity with thermal monitoring systems, CMMS platforms, and predictive maintenance practices. Proficiency in CFD tools used for operational troubleshooting and thermal validation.

Compensation: $200,000 - $250,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. Offers equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
