FluidstackAustin, TXOwn and optimize CNC/structural steel processing operations including programming beam lines, plate processors, nesting for yield, equipment commissioning, tooling, and preventive maintenance to maintain takt and uptime in heavy fabrication for AI data centers.
Own CNC and structural steel processing: beam lines, plate processing, saws, and drills running at takt. Program and optimize the machines: nesting, tooling, and cycle times that feed downstream without piles. Commission new steel processing equipment and prove it to rate. Own the tooling and preventive maintenance strategy so uptime holds through the ramp.
You've engineered CNC or steel processing operations in a structural or heavy fabrication environment. You've programmed beam lines or plate processing equipment. You nest for material yield and know what a point of yield is worth. You've owned equipment uptime and driven it with data. You work the floor with operators, not above them.
Bonus: Peddinghaus, Ficep, or Voortman platforms. CAM systems. Tekla interface. Cutting and drilling process depth.
Own production equipment end-to-end from URS through SAT, vendor selection, FAT, installation, integration into controls/data systems for OEE/MES, and post-handoff uptime/cycle-time improvements. Requires hands-on experience launching automation cells, running FATs, integrating sensors/drives/logic, and completing installs with training/spares/documentation.
Engineer modular data center products across structures, enclosures, and MEP systems from concept through released drawings and production support. Requires hands-on experience with complex physical products or modular construction, cross-disciplinary problem solving, and clean fabrication-ready drawings.
Own robotic weld cells for structural steel in AI data center production. Develop GMAW programs, commission cells, solve distortion/penetration issues, and drive first-pass yield using production data and WPS discipline.
Design and own production tooling and fixtures (weld fixtures, assembly jigs, lifting tools) from concept through validation, lifecycle management, and operator-focused design for high-volume fabrication/assembly. Requires proven experience designing fixtures that hold tolerance at rate using proper stack-ups and capability studies.
Design material flow and intralogistics systems for heavy manufacturing of AI data center modules, including cranes, AGVs, conveyance, layouts, throughput modeling, and dock-to-line replenishment to eliminate unnecessary handling touches.
