[Hiring] Principal Operations Engineer, Electrical @Fluidstack

Role Description

Serve as the most senior technical authority for operational electrical infrastructure across the hyperscale AI data center fleet.

• Lead site assessments and operational audits, and drive the technical readiness of teams ahead of site activation.
• Review designs and specifications from an operational lens, and feed operational learnings back into design and manufacturing as the build model becomes productized.
• Own electrical operational readiness and the commissioning-to-operations handover for new sites.
• Author and approve high-risk electrical MOPs, EOPs, and AOPs, and lead root cause analysis on significant electrical events.
• Act as the connective tissue between operations, design, construction, hardware, and EHS, and a force multiplier across cluster leads and field engineers.
• Travel 50 to 75% across the fleet. The work is in the field, not at a desk.

Qualifications

• You've spent a career running mission-critical electrical systems and come up through the trades, the field, or both.
• You command the operational electrical stack: switchgear, UPS, generators, paralleling, ATS/STS, PDUs, and EPMS, in live critical environments.
• You've authored and executed high-risk electrical MOPs and led root cause analysis on significant events through closure.
• You walk into any site and assess operational readiness, audit the posture, and raise the standard.
• You teach. You build the technical readiness of the teams around you ahead of activation.

Requirements

• Bonus: Hyperscale or large colocation at hundreds of MW.
• NETA and NFPA 70E expertise.
• EPMS platforms.
• Arc-flash and electrical safety program ownership.
• Uptime Institute.

• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.
• Total compensation may also include equity in the form of restricted stock units.
• We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
