- 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 Commissioning TeamExamples of key problems the team is working on- Help stand up a Cx program for 10s to 100s of GWs of DCs this decade.
- Develop plans for Cx and QA/QC for first-of-a-kind modular data center designs.
- Drive development and implementation of automated L4/L5 commissioning.
Role Scope- Own controls commissioning delivery across BMS, EPMS, PLC, and SCADA (Ignition preferred) for Fluidstack's 2026 greenfield program, running L1 through L5 phases in parallel across multiple sites.
- Chair the weekly site big room as Owner's Representative, directing general contractors, designers, OEMs, and commissioning authorities from design-assist and factory witness testing through IST and turnover.
- Build and deploy FPT and IST test scripts with commissioning agents, verifying every controls system meets design intent before turnover.
- Own commissioning documentation, the controls budget, and change orders, tracking issues, punch lists, and final reports to closeout.
- Lead controls handover to operations and mentor project engineers across sites, standing up the commissioning playbooks and standards other engineers execute against on every site after.
What We're Looking ForThe 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 led controls commissioning end to end on 50 MW+ data center or comparable mission-critical builds, covering UPS/EPMS monitoring, chilled water, and HVAC systems.
- You read controls architecture and L1 through L5 documentation well enough to direct the work and hold vendors and commissioning authorities accountable, not to program it yourself.
- You've run point as Owner's Representative, chairing big-room meetings and driving GCs, OEMs, and commissioning authorities to a shared schedule.
- Budgets, change orders, RFIs, and submittals are habits you track without being asked, and you catch schedule and cost risk before it turns into a change order fight.
- You've written FPT and IST test scripts yourself and reviewed them with commissioning agents to confirm systems meet design intent.
- Bonus: Bachelor's in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, automation, or a related field. PMP, CCP, NICET IV, PE license, or ISA CCST. ASHRAE or BCxA commissioning guideline experience. Hands-on pre-functional testing and mechanical or electrical adjustment work. Schedule-compressed delivery via prefabrication, skids, or modular deployment on 20 to 200+ MW programs, and prior hyperscale or colocation commissioning experience.
Benefits- Competitive total compensation package (cash + 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 $200,000 - $250,000 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.
