About the role

Role focused on owning the structural systems of Fluidstack's modular data center product on the Phoenix manufacturing line, including frames, enclosures, and lifting/transport structures, with hands-on floor presence, rapid issue disposition, and close collaboration with design to loop lessons back into drawings and BOM.

Responsibilities

  • Own the structural systems of the modular product on the line, frames, enclosures, and lifting and transport structures, from released drawings through rate production.
  • Live on the Phoenix manufacturing line: walk the floor daily, catch fit-up and weld issues at the station where they happen, and disposition them on the spot.
  • Run structural support for the factory in real time, answering RFIs same-day from the floor and engineering fixes into the next revision, not a someday backlog.
  • Run first-article reviews and fit checks in person as units come down the line, with findings documented tightly enough to drive drawing changes.
  • Close the loop to design: feed what the line learns back into drawings, tolerances, and the BOM so the same issue never surfaces twice.

Qualifications

  • You've engineered structures for complex physical products, modular construction, or heavy fabrication, hands-on, not from a review desk.
  • You've worked on a shop floor or fabrication line, and dispositioning a nonconformance with the line waiting is familiar work: use-as-is, rework, or stop, decided in the moment and defensible afterward.
  • Your drawings build clean. Fabricators rarely call, and when they do, you fix the drawing rather than explain it away.
  • You've supported production launches of your own designs and stayed with them through the ugly early units.
  • You iterate fast without losing configuration control: every floor fix lands back in the drawing, the tolerance stack, or the BOM.
  • Bonus: PE license, steel and sheet metal design, structural detailing standards (AISC, AWS), weld inspection or NDE familiarity, and DFM instincts.
