About the role
Starbase is standing up on-site power generation for the Starbase AI supercomputer. This millwright role installs that plant: trailer- and skid-mounted aeroderivative gas turbines, generators, and the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) stacks beside them. You set the machines, laser-align the couplings, grout them, preserve them until they run, and install the emissions equipment as foundations come out of the ground. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- High school diploma or equivalency certificate
