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.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

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 Manufacturing Team

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Scale manufacturing. Grow manufacturing capacity and capability across the full production process, with the range to take on more products and higher volume at an industry leading pace.

• Manufacture infrastructure. Build and operate a manufacturing ecosystem that delivers gigawatts of infrastructure per year.

• Be an engine for growth. Solve problems faster, think bigger, and develop yourself and your team as quickly and dynamically as the company around you.

Role Scope

• Own all production output at the Phoenix-area facility: throughput rate, takt adherence, quality escape rate, line uptime, and on-time shipment against customer delivery commitments.

• Drive continuous improvement across all production lines, including root-cause analysis and corrective action on every throughput or quality deviation, from the line floor up.

• Hold final product acceptance authority: nothing ships without your sign-off or explicit delegation, and you own the workforce interface with the on-site staffing partner to enforce that standard.

• Own site readiness across tooling, fixturing, material flow, equipment, utilities, and floor layout, including all contractor and vendor relationships and full OSHA, NFPA 70E, and air quality permit compliance.

• Build and develop the on-site manufacturing team, including production managers, supervisors, quality, and facilities staff, and own workforce planning across headcount ramp, shift structure, skill mix, and certification tracking.

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 have run a high-volume discrete manufacturing facility end to end and can point to a specific output record: units per shift, defect rate, on-time delivery, or throughput improvement you personally drove.

• You have managed a large on-site workforce through a third-party staffing provider and held that partner accountable to production and quality targets, not just headcount.

• You have taken a facility from construction handover through first production to steady-state output and can walk through how you handled the ramp, what broke, and how you fixed it.

• You design production systems rather than inherit them: you have personally set takt times, balanced lines, written standard work, and built visual management boards for a real facility.

• OSHA 1910, NFPA 70E, and environmental permit compliance are active parts of your daily management system, not a separate function you hand off.

• You build the culture on your floor through standard work and clear escalation paths, not through personality, and your supervisors know exactly what is expected and what triggers an escalation to you.

• Bonus: Structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment assembly, or modular construction manufacturing. Lean or Six Sigma Black Belt. Experience commissioning robotic weld cells, CNC processing lines, or AGV material handling systems.

Salary & 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

The base salary range for this position is $280,000 - $350,000 per year, depending on experience, skills, qualifications, and location. This range represents our good faith estimate of the compensation for this role at the time of posting. Total compensation may also include equity in the form of stock options.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
