About the role
You'll join the civil, structural, and architectural engineers who design the buildings, sites, and yards for Fluidstack's gigawatt-scale AI data centers. The team works from template designs that repeat across campuses, and every template carries large mechanical plant, on-site generation, and electrical yards whose sound has to be understood before the first site is permitted. This role is the team's acoustics specialist and the point of contact for noise across the data center and power generation engineering groups.
What you'll bring
- 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.
- 5+ years of acoustics or noise control engineering on industrial, power generation, or mission-critical facilities, with at least one project taken from study through permit and commissioning measurement.
- Fluency in an outdoor sound propagation tool such as CadnaA or SoundPLAN and in the ISO 9613-2 method behind it.
- Working knowledge of occupational noise standards such as OSHA 1910.95 and the local noise ordinances that govern industrial sites.
- You have specified barriers, silencers, and acoustic enclosures and seen them built and measured.
- You explain acoustic trade-offs to mechanical and electrical engineers in their terms and hold the line on limits when a design review wants to spend them.
- INCE Board Certification or Professional Engineer license.
- Data center or gas turbine plant noise experience.
- Building acoustics or vibration isolation background.
- Mechanical engineering or procurement experience.
