About the role

Role in Fluidstack's R&D team supporting head of Development Engineering with cross-team coordination, technical direction, and operating rhythm for the organization's next-gen data center technologies.

Responsibilities

  • Be the right hand to the Head of Development Engineering. Work side by side with the head of R&D, take their highest-priority problems off their plate, and drive each one to a decision or a delivered result.
  • Drive initiatives across the organization. Own cross-team efforts from first scoping to done, and do whatever the work needs, from analysis and vendor calls to schedules and follow-up, so the team moves fast.
  • Coordinate across every engineering team. Work directly with each engineering team and its leader to line up projects, pilots, and R&D efforts so priorities, owners, and dates stay clear.
  • Shape technical direction. Build the first-order analysis leadership needs to set the company's technical direction, and carry decisions back into the teams that execute them.
  • Run the operating rhythm. Own the R&D leadership cadence: agendas, decisions, action items, and status reports that name what is slipping and what it takes to recover.

Qualifications

  • 3-7 years of experience in engineering, technical program management, consulting, or operations, ideally around hardware, energy, or infrastructure.
  • An engineering or technical degree, or equivalent hands-on technical depth.
  • You want a steep learning curve and broad exposure to how an R&D organization is run, and you are ready to work hard to get it.
  • You are comfortable in an engineering conversation and build your own first-pass models and analysis.
  • You write clearly and keep senior people informed without being chased.
  • You take on any task the team needs, learn new domains fast, and are open about what you do not know yet.
  • Low ego and self-directed: you manage your own work, manage upward, and keep things moving without being asked.
  • Bonus: Experience at a startup or on a first-of-a-kind project. Exposure to power, cooling, or data center systems.
