About Fluidstack
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!
How We Operate
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.
Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
Reason from first principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.
Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.
Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.
The Product Engineering Team
Product Engineering builds the power and cooling systems that let Fluidstack deliver gigawatt-scale AI data centers faster and denser than the grid-standard supply chain allows. The SST group is designing solid-state transformers as a core building block of that power architecture.
Examples of key problems the team is working on
Architect a medium-voltage solid-state transformer that can be manufactured, serviced, and scaled across gigawatt-scale campuses, not just demonstrated in a lab.
Define the interface between the SST and the MVDC distribution system, including protection, control boundaries, and fault behavior.
Build a semiconductor and magnetics supply strategy that survives a thin 10kV SiC market over a multi-year horizon.
Take converter hardware from topology selection through working prototypes on a schedule that data center construction actually depends on.
Role Scope
Design the power stage and gate-driver boards for every SST cell: SiC half-bridge modules, isolated gate drivers, auxiliary power, and current and voltage sensing.
Lay out boards for fast-switching SiC with low-inductance commutation loops and creepage and clearance that hold at tens of kilovolts to ground.
Design isolated auxiliary power and signal links for boards that float at high voltage inside a series stack of cells.
Bring up boards on the bench with the technicians and test engineer, and close design spins from prototype cells to pilot units.
Hand off manufacturing-ready packages (fabrication and assembly data, test points, fixtures) to contract manufacturers.
What We'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've designed and brought up gate-driver and power-stage boards for SiC or GaN converters at hundreds of volts and above.
You've laid out boards that switch at high dv/dt without false triggering, and can show the loop inductance you designed for.
You've designed isolated power supplies or signal isolation for circuits floating at high voltage.
You've met creepage and clearance requirements on a high-voltage board and passed a hipot test with it.
You've taken a board from schematic to a contract manufacturer and fixed what failed at first article.
Bonus: PCB design tools (Altium, Cadence). Interconnect design certification (IPC CID, CID+). Power conversion board standards (IPC-2221, IPC-2152, IPC-9592). Sensing for power electronics (Rogowski coils, isolated amplifiers). Laminated busbar design.
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in stage crew member jobs.
- Experience operating and troubleshooting professional lighting, audio, or rigging systems in live environments
- Ability to lift at least 50 pounds and work at heights using ladders, lifts, and fly systems
- OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 construction certification, or willingness to obtain before first day
- Familiarity with industry-standard equipment such as moving lights, digital audio consoles, and chain motors
- Valid driver's license and ability to travel for touring or multi-venue productions
- IATSE union card or eligibility for union membership depending on venue and production type
Tips for Your Stage Crew Member Job Search
List your union status clearly
Many stage crew postings specify IATSE or Teamsters affiliation. Put your union local number and card status at the top of your resume so production managers and venue hiring coordinators see it immediately without digging.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists stage crew member openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your resume to each department
A lighting technician resume and an audio engineer resume look very different even at the same career level. Highlight the specific gear, consoles, and software you have hands-on experience with for each department you apply to.
Build a credits list instead of a job list
Production and venue hiring teams respond better to a formatted credits list showing show title, venue, role, and dates than a traditional work-history resume. Format it the way a touring resume looks, not a corporate one.
Network at load-ins and calls before you apply
Many stage crew positions are filled through word of mouth at calls and load-ins before they ever get posted. Showing up reliably for day calls at local venues builds the relationships that turn into full-time and touring offers.
Prepare for practical skills assessments
Interviews for stage crew roles frequently include a walkthrough of a fly system, a dimmer rack, or a signal chain rather than behavioral questions. Know your gear cold, and be ready to explain troubleshooting decisions out loud to a department head.
Stage Crew Member Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most stage crew members?
The most active employers for stage crew members right now are RWS Global, Blue Origin, and Relativity Space, and the most openings are in California, Florida, and Massachusetts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand tends to track touring season and major venue expansion cycles, so availability shifts throughout the year.
How many stage crew member jobs are remote?
About 55% of stage crew member openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting that most of the role requires physical presence on a stage or at a venue. The sub-areas most likely to offer remote or hybrid arrangements include production coordination, scheduling, and technical direction roles that sit closer to the administrative side of the department.
How do you become a stage crew member?
Start by volunteering at local theaters, schools, or community event venues to build hands-on time with lighting boards, audio consoles, and rigging hardware. Take OSHA safety training and pursue certifications in specific disciplines like electrical or rigging. From there, pick up day calls at professional venues, build a credits list, and pursue an IATSE apprenticeship or membership if you plan to work in union houses.
Can you get hired as a stage crew member with no experience?
Yes, many venues and production companies hire entry-level crew for load-in day calls and general labor positions that don't require department-specific skills yet. Showing up on time, following direction, and being physically capable is enough to get started. From those early calls, you build relationships with department heads who bring you back for more skilled work as your knowledge grows.
What does the stage crew member interview process look like?
For most venue and production company positions, the process starts with a resume review focused on your credits list and certifications, followed by a conversation with a department head or production manager about specific shows and gear you've worked with. Many employers include a practical walkthrough of their facility where you're asked to identify equipment, describe signal flow, or demonstrate safe rigging practices before a final offer is made.
Where can I find and apply to stage crew member jobs?
You can find and apply to stage crew member jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Find roles that match your department skills and experience level, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
