About FluidStack
Fluidstack is the AI Cloud Platform. We build GPU supercomputers for top AI labs, governments, and enterprises. Our customers include Mistral, Poolside, Black Forest Labs, Meta, and more.
Our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on providing a world class supercomputing experience. We put our customers first in everything we do, working hard to not just win the sale, but to win repeated business and customer referrals.
We hold ourselves and each other to high standards. We expect you to care deeply about the work you do, the products you build, and the experience our customers have in every interaction with us.
You must work hard, take ownership from inception to delivery, and approach every problem with an open mind and a positive attitude. We value effectiveness, competence, and a growth mindset.
About the Role
The Principal Electrical Engineer will own the data center power system system design from utility to racks. You will define the power infrastructure that enables high-density GPU campuses. You will craft resilient topologies that deliver clean, rapid-response power while meeting stringent uptime, safety and efficiency targets.
Focus
Manage all aspects of electrical engineering system for data centers including MV and LV power distribution, lighting, fire alarm system and ELV systems coordinating with all other discipline requirements.
Create strategy for data center electrical system design and deployment.
Develop electrical design standards for power distribution to high-density liquid-cooled and air-cooled racks, mechanical equipment and systems within data centers.
Lead innovation for electrical engineering systems for achieving high efficiency, better PUE.
Develop and maintain the basis of design, master specification and master drawings.
Facilitate developing project specific drawings and documentation based on the master design with local adaptation working with external design consultants.
Develop one-line diagrams for MV/HV utility feeds, substations, generator farms and UPS topologies (2N, N+1).
Right-size busways, RPPs and PDUs to support 100+ kW per rack and liquid-cooling auxiliaries.
Calculate load steps, fault-level analysis and protection coordination.
Specify switchgear, LV transformers, STS/ATS, battery storage, flywheels and renewable integrations.
Lead power-quality studies (harmonics, flicker, grounding) for GPU workloads.
Author sequence-of-operations, FAT/SAT protocols and energisation plans.
Produce electrical bill-of-materials, sequence-of-operations and commissioning scripts.
Interface with Mechanical Controls and Construction teams through 30/60/90% design reviews.
Willing and able to travel (domestic and international) to support projects. 20% travel is expected for this role.
About You
B.S/B.E/B.A degree in electrical engineering discipline.
10+ years designing data center and mission-critical electrical systems and knowledge on AI / HPC data centres.
Expert in NEC, IEC and IEEE standards; ETAP or SKM modelling proficiency.
Familiar with liquid-cooled rack power delivery, blind-mate busbars and 48 VDC architectures.
PE/Chartered Electrical Engineer strongly preferred.
Benefits
Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
Health, dental, and vision insurance.
Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
Fluidstack is remote first, but has offices in key hubs. For all other locations, we provide access to WeWork.
