Job Description

Data Center Process Engineer (Technical Writer) ABOUT FLUIDSTACK At Fluidstack, we build the compute, data centers, and power that will fuel artificial superintelligence. We supply GWs of compute capabilities to the world’s biggest AI Labs at industry-defining speeds. Our team is small, fast, and obsessed with quality. We own outcomes end-to-end, challenge assumptions, and treat our customers' problems as our own. No task is beneath anyone here. There are a few thousand people who will shape the trajectory of superintelligence. Come and be one of them. ABOUT THE ROLE We are seeking a highly skilled and technically proficient Technical Writer to join our Operations team. In this role, you will serve as the critical bridge between complex vendor documentation and frontline operational staff. You will analyze, interpret, and transform OEM manuals, vendor specifications, engineering drawings, and product data sheets into clear, accurate, and actionable Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), work instructions, and maintenance procedures tailored for operations personnel. The ideal candidate possesses both strong writing ability and a deep technical aptitude — someone who can read a vendor manual, understand the engineering intent behind it, and translate that knowledge into step-by-step procedures that operators can execute safely and efficiently. A strong understanding of data center critical infrastructure systems — including power, cooling, fire suppression, and building management — is essential to success in this role. RESPONSIBILITIES - Author, edit, and maintain the full suite of operational documentation — SOPs, work instructions, LOTO procedures, startup/shutdown procedures, EOPs, AOPs, preventive maintenance task lists, and MOP/Energized Electrical Work Permit documentation — by reviewing and interpreting vendor manuals, OEM documentation, P&IDs, technical specifications, and engineering drawings. - Work closely with engineers, equipment vendors, SMEs, and operations supervisors to validate procedure accuracy and completeness; participate in commissioning activities, FATs, SATs, and operational walkthroughs; attend PSSRs and MOC reviews to capture and document procedural changes. - Manage the full document lifecycle — creation, review, approval, revision, and archiving — within the site DMS; maintain revision history, version control, and change logs; apply consistent formatting and style guide standards; conduct periodic reviews to ensure continued accuracy as equipment or processes change. - Develop and maintain procedures for critical facility infrastructure including power systems (utility feeds, transformers, switchgear, generators, ATS/STS, UPS, PDUs), cooling systems (chillers, cooling towers, CRACs/CRAHs, CDUs, economizers), and monitoring and controls platforms (EPMS, BMS/SCADA, DCIM, environmental monitoring). - Create supporting visuals — process flow charts, annotated photographs, equipment schematics, and diagrams — using tools such as Visio, AutoCAD, or Snagit; partner with Training to convert procedures into job aids and competency assessments, and support new hire onboarding by ensuring documentation is accessible and current. - Support change management processes by documenting as-built conditions following infrastructure modifications, equipment replacements, or system upgrades; develop and maintain energy capacity and load management documentation including circuit labeling standards, breaker schedules, and stranded capacity tracking procedures. BASIC QUALIFICATIONS - Bachelor's degree in Technical Writing, Engineering Technology, Mechanical/Electrical/Chemical Engineering, or a related technical field — OR equivalent combination of education and hands-on technical experience. - Minimum 5 years of experience in technical writing, with a demonstrated focus on industrial, manufacturing, energy, utilities, oil & gas, chemical, or similar operations-heavy environments. - Proven ability to r ...
