Qualifications

  • 5-7 years of experience in designing LV switchboards or busways at an OEM.
  • Proven track record of carrying a product through UL 891 or UL 857 certification.
  • Experience in conducting short-circuit withstand and temperature rise test campaigns.
  • Knowledge of contact system design and joint plating for durability under load cycles.
  • Expertise in manufacturability, including sheet metal and assembly processes.
  • Strong leadership experience in product development under compressed schedules.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design of Fluidstack's UL 891 LV switchboard and UL 857 busway from calculations to production drawings.
  • Ensure the release of both platforms within 12 months while managing design and testing campaigns simultaneously.
  • Oversee a dedicated team of engineers and support staff through the design and listing process.
  • Drive comprehensive listing programs, including test planning and execution at the NRTL.
  • Collaborate with localization teams for essential design upgrades and specifications.
  • Work with authorized vendors to maintain product consistency across data center operations.

Benefits

  • Opportunities for career advancement in a fast-paced, innovative environment.
  • Collaborative work with a dedicated and experienced engineering team.
  • Engagement in hands-on problem-solving tasks throughout the design and testing phases.
  • Potential for flexibility in job role based on individual expertise beyond the stated qualifications.
Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Own the clean-sheet design of Fluidstack's UL 891 LV switchboard and UL 857 distribution busway platforms, from bus and bracing calculations to released production drawings.
  • Release both platforms for production within 12 months, running design, NRTL listing, and short-circuit test campaigns in parallel.
  • Lead a dedicated team of electrical and mechanical engineers, backed by assigned drafting, compliance, and test staff from shared engineering services.
  • Drive the listing programs end to end: test plans, witness testing at the NRTL, follow-up service setup, and the certification file the factory builds against.
  • Work with localization teams to define required design upgrades and particularities: interconnect points, protection interfaces, transport and rigging limits, and seismic anchorage.
  • Work with third party authorized vendors to deliver a consistent product across Fluidstack's data center fleet.


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 designed LV switchboards or busway at an OEM and personally carried a product through UL 891 or UL 857 listing, start to finish.
  • You've run short-circuit withstand and temperature rise test campaigns and redesigned bus, bracing, or joints after a failed shot.
  • You've made the contact system, joint, and plating decisions that determine whether a busway survives thousands of load cycles in service.
  • You've designed for manufacturability at volume: sheet metal, plating, torque specifications, and assembly sequences a production line can hold shift after shift.
  • You've led a product team through a compressed release schedule and held the line on test evidence when the schedule pushed back.
  • You write ratings documentation and configuration rules clear enough that application engineers select the right product without calling you.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
