Job Overview by Ladders

Qualifications

  • Experience designing LV switchboards or busways at an OEM with complete UL 891 or UL 857 listing process.
  • Hands-on experience running short-circuit withstand and temperature rise tests, with a track record of redesigning components post-failure.
  • In-depth knowledge of contact systems, joint configurations, and plating decisions for long-lasting busway performance.
  • Solid understanding of manufacturability at scale, including sheet metal and assembly line processes.
  • Proven leadership in fast-paced product development cycles, particularly in adherence to testing protocols despite tight deadlines.
  • Ability to create clear ratings documentation and configuration rules for ease of product selection.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the design of Fluidstack's UL 891 LV switchboard and UL 857 busway platforms from conception to production.
  • Release all necessary production documents within 12 months while managing design and testing workflows concurrently.
  • Direct a multidisciplinary team of engineers and drafting professionals in the development process.
  • Oversee end-to-end listing programs, including test plans and compliance with NRTL standards.
  • Collaborate with localization teams to adapt designs for specific project needs, including rigging limits and seismic anchorage.
  • Work with third-party vendors to ensure product consistency across Fluidstack's data centers.

Benefits

  • Opportunities for professional development and growth.
  • Engaging work environment with a culture of innovation.
  • Supportive team structure with collaborative resources.
  • Flexible work arrangements to promote work-life balance.
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.
