Off-Grid Solar Engineer, Technical Lead
About Fluidstack
We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.
We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.
We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!
How We Operate
Fluidstack builds its own power for AI data centers. The Power Generation team designs and delivers the gas, solar and battery storage plants that run our sites off-grid and behind the meter.

How We Operate
- Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
- Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
- Reason from 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.
- Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

Examples of key problems the team is working on
- Taking a bare site to energized solar faster than a conventional build.
- Moving solar installation work out of the field and into the factory.
- Sizing solar, storage and gas together so a site runs reliably without the grid.
- Own how we build solar. Choose the technology, layout and installation method for each site, judged first on time to energization.
- Pilot new deployment methods. Test automated installation, prefabricated systems and new mounting systems, and make the ones that work our standard build.
- Run the vendors. Lead technical selection and pilot partnerships, from early-stage technology companies to established module, inverter and EPC suppliers.
- Size and design arrays. Partner with the storage and gas teams so each solar design meets the site's power needs.
- Energize the first sites. Lead the first deployments in the field, measured on days to first energized block, MW installed per week and labor hours per MW, and turn the results into a repeatable playbook.
- Build the team. Hire and lead PV engineers across design, performance, quality and installation automation.
The 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 engineered and delivered large solar arrays, hands-on.
- You've changed how solar gets built: faster installs, new methods or prefabricated approaches.
- You have strong command of PV design, energy yield and the economics of design trade-offs.
- You've selected vendors and run pilots with them.
- You're comfortable on site and make fast decisions on incomplete data.
- You've led engineers.
- Bonus: Solar automation or robotics. Off-grid or behind-the-meter projects.
