Electrical Engineer, Modular Design & Manufacturing

Fluidstack · San Francisco, CA · 1 wk ago
On-siteEngineering$200k–$250k/yrFull-time

About the role

We are seeking a senior Electrical Engineer to design Fluidstack's modular, factory-built electrical infrastructure. This role involves designing switchgear skids, modular electrical rooms, and modular data centers, ensuring they meet high standards of speed and scalability.

  • 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).
