Other

  • Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence . As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.
  • We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.
  • We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.
  • If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.
  • As the Data Center Design Engineer, you will be the primary architect of Crusoe’s operational computing environments. You will bridge the gap between heavy infrastructure and high-performance computing by designing the "whitespace"- the critical area where our servers, storage, and network equipment live. Your work is fundamental to Crusoe’s mission of aligning the future of computing with the future of the climate; by optimizing power distribution, cooling, and equipment density, you directly enable the scalability and energy efficiency of our sustainable cloud platform.
  • You will join a bold, collaborative team where you will lead the planning and implementation of high-density layouts and modular infrastructure. The ideal candidate is a technical problem-solver who thrives in the intersection of mechanical, electrical, and network engineering. This is a full-time position designed for an innovative engineer who wants to build the physical foundation of an ethical and sustainable digital world.
  • Whitespace Design & Planning: Architect comprehensive whitespace layouts, including rack placement and aisle configurations, to maximize equipment density while maintaining optimal airflow and accessibility.
  • Infrastructure Integration: Partner with Electrical and Mechanical teams to seamlessly integrate power delivery and cooling systems into the whitespace, ensuring robust support for high-performance cloud workloads.
  • Capacity & Growth Modeling: Develop sophisticated 3D models and capacity planning tools to project future utilization, ensuring our data centers remain scalable and redundant (N+1, 2N).
  • Connectivity Strategy: Coordinate with Network and Cloud teams to design and implement structured cabling and fiber management systems that meet rigorous performance and low-latency requirements.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Participate in design reviews and risk assessments, providing technical guidance to internal stakeholders and external contractors during construction and commissioning phases.
  • Compliance & Excellence: Enforce industry standards (TIA-942, ASHRAE) and local building codes to ensure every design is safe, compliant, and performs to the highest reliability standards.
  • Technical Documentation: Produce and maintain high-fidelity CAD/BIM drawings and schematics that serve as the definitive source for operations, maintenance, and auditing.
  • Continuous Innovation: Evaluate emerging modular technologies and design methodologies to relentlessly improve energy efficiency and site performance.
  • Engineering Foundation: A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Facilities, or Data Center Engineering.
  • Industry Expertise: At least 5+ years of experience in data center design, with a proven track record in cloud-scale or hyperscale environments.
  • Technical Proficiency: Advanced skills in CAD/BIM software (AutoCAD, Revit, Visio, or equivalent) to create precise architectural and engineering schematics.
  • Infrastructure Mastery: Deep technical knowledge of data center power distribution, UPS systems, HVAC/cooling systems, and structured cabling.
  • Standards Knowledge: A firm grasp of industry-standard frameworks, specifically TIA-942, Uptime Institute, ASHRAE, and ANSI/BICSI.
  • Collaborative Mindset: Exceptional communication skills and the ability to drive results within cross-functional teams while managing multiple complex projects simultaneously.
  • Field Readiness: A willingness and ability to travel to data center sites to oversee implementation and conduct site inspections.
