About this Category Manager, Electrical role at Fluidstack

Fluidstack · Onsite · Austin, TX

How We Operate

  • 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 Supply Chain Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

  • Supply tens of gigawatts of compute, the largest build out of compute in history. Qualify and dual-source across every critical equipment category, with lead-time and capacity thresholds tied directly to the forward build pipeline.

  • Make supply chain the reason we build faster than anyone. Our modular build redefines speed in this industry, and it lives or dies on supply chain. Keep procurement permanently off the critical path so schedule compression stays our advantage, not our constraint.

  • Build the most accurate supply chain prediction modelling that exists. Use the frontier of AI to forecast lead times, demand, and disruption with a precision the industry has never had, and turn that foresight into a structural edge.

Role Scope

  • Own the electrical category: switchgear, transformers, UPS, generators, and busway, the longest lead times in the build.

  • Negotiate capacity reservations with electrical OEMs years ahead, converting reservations to orders as the pipeline firms.

  • Dual-source major equipment classes across OEMs whose products are not interchangeable, managing the design implications with engineering.

  • Track factory slots and production milestones supplier by supplier, because a slipped transformer is a slipped data hall.

What We're Looking For

  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.

  • You've sourced major electrical equipment (switchgear, transformers, UPS, generation) for large construction programs.

  • You've reserved factory capacity ahead of firm designs and managed the commercial risk that creates.

  • You know the current lead-time reality of the electrical market by product class, not by rumor.

  • You've expedited equipment through a factory by knowing whom to call and what to trade.

  • Bonus: MV/HV equipment. Utility-scale generation. OFCI programs. Factory witness testing.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
