Mechanical Engineer - Structural / Packaging, Advanced Engineering
About The Position
At Fluidstack, we’re building the infrastructure for abundant intelligence. We partner with top AI labs, governments, and enterprises - including Mistral, Poolside, Black Forest Labs, Meta, and more - to unlock compute at the speed of light. We’re working with urgency to make AGI a reality. As such, our team is highly motivated and committed to delivering world-class infrastructure. We treat our customers’ outcomes as our own, taking pride in the systems we build and the trust we earn. If you’re motivated by purpose, obsessed with excellence, and ready to work very hard to accelerate the future of intelligence, join us in building what's next. The Role We are developing a direct current air cooled chiller program to support our next generation AI data centers. As a Mechanical Engineer focused on Structural / Packaging, you will own the physical design of our chiller platform. You will be responsible for structural frame design, component packaging, serviceability, and manufacturability. This role requires strong skills in mechanical design, structural analysis, and practical experience bringing large industrial equipment from prototype to production.
