Job description

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!
About the Role
The Industrial Ergonomics & Health Specialist is a dedicated on-site role embedded within the manufacturing HSE team in Phoenix, AZ. This specialist owns the facility's ergonomics program end-to-end - from job hazard analysis and exposure assessment through engineering control design and implementation - while also supporting industrial hygiene testing, occupational health monitoring, and employee wellness initiatives. The specialist works closely with the Manufacturing HSE Manager, Industrial Engineering, and line supervisors to reduce musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk, control occupational exposures, and build a healthier, higher-performing workforce.
Responsibilities
Industrial Ergonomics Program
  • Own and continuously improve the facility ergonomics program; maintain the ergonomic risk registry and prioritize interventions by MSD exposure severity.
  • Conduct formal ergonomic assessments on all production jobs, maintenance tasks, and non-routine activities using NIOSH Lifting Equation, RULA, REBA, OWAS, and Strain Index methodologies.
  • Design and specify engineering controls, workstation modifications, tooling improvements, and material handling solutions to reduce biomechanical risk at the source.
  • Partner with Industrial Engineering on line balancing, job rotation schedules, and new equipment design reviews to integrate ergonomic principles at the earliest stage.
  • Track all ergonomic improvement projects through the corrective action system; report MSD trends, intervention ROI, and program metrics to the HSE Manager monthly.
  • Lead ergonomic training for supervisors and employees: hazard recognition, early symptom reporting, and correct use of ergonomic equipment and aids.

Industrial Hygiene (IH) Testing & Exposure Monitoring
  • Plan and execute the facility IH monitoring program: noise dosimetry, air sampling for chemical vapors, dusts, and particulates, heat stress assessment, and dermal exposure evaluations.
  • Interpret sampling results against OSHA PELs, NIOSH RELs, and ACGIH TLVs; recommend and implement engineering or administrative controls when OELs are approached or exceeded.
  • Manage the respiratory protection program: fit testing, cartridge selection, medical evaluation coordination, and employee training per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134.
  • Maintain calibrated IH sampling equipment; manage sampling records, chain of custody documentation, and laboratory relationships.
  • Coordinate with the Manufacturing HSE Manager on IH findings, exposure trends, and annual program review.

Occupational Health & Employee Wellness
  • Administer the occupational health surveillance program: coordinate medical monitoring, audiometric testing, pulmonary function testing, and any chemical-specific biological monitoring required by regulation or best practice.
  • Serve as the primary liaison with the occupational health clinic; manage referrals, return-to-work coordination, and restricted duty case tracking.
  • Support early intervention: triage musculoskeletal symptoms reported through the early reporting program; connect employees with appropriate medical resources before injuries escalate.
  • Maintain employee health records in compliance with HIPAA, OSHA medical recordkeeping requirements (29 CFR 1910.1020), and company policy.
  • Develop and deliver occupational wellness content: stretch-and-flex programs, hydration and heat illness prevention, fatigue management, and nutrition/wellness resources.

GHS / HazCom & Chemical Health
  • Support the GHS/HazCom program from a health-exposure perspective: review SDS documents for health hazards, flag chemicals requiring enhanced controls or medical surveillance, and advise on substitution opportunities.
  • Contribute to the chemical approval workflow: evaluate new chemical requests for occupational health risk and recommend appropriate exposure controls prior to introduction on the floor.

JHA & Safety Program Support
  • Conduct and review Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) with a focus on ergonomic and health exposure pathways; ensure JHAs reflect actual exposure conditions and specify effective controls.
  • Participate in incident investigations involving MSD, occupational illness, or IH-related exposures; contribute root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
  • Support routine safety inspections and audits; document ergonomic and IH findings and track them through the corrective action system.
