About the role

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. Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

What they're looking for

  • 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 have 15+ years in power conversion and have led an SST or MV converter program at the level of ABB/Hitachi Energy research, GE, Delta, EPRI, or a FREEDM/ETH/Aachen lineage lab
  • You've owned converter topology selection, semiconductor strategy, and system trade-offs at MW scale, and can defend the choices you made
  • You've led converter development teams from architecture through working hardware, not just papers or simulations
  • You know the SiC ecosystem well enough to write a five-year semiconductor strategy in a market where 10kV devices barely exist
  • You've lived through a program that died or nearly died, and you know exactly why, and what you'd do differently
More about this role

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!

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.

Reason from first principles. Challenge...
