The opportunity
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.
What you'll do
Design Optimization: lead trade-off analysis across space, power density, and cost for new data center designs, identifying opportunities to increase compute per rack and per square foot without compromising reliability
Business Partnership: work directly with Finance, Engineering, and Supply Chain to translate commercial requirements — cost targets, delivery timelines, customer commitments — into concrete design specifications
Power & Cooling Strategy: partner with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to evaluate power distribution, cooling architecture (air, liquid, immersion), and their impact on achievable rack density
Cost Modeling: build and maintain models comparing design alternatives on total installed cost and cost per kW, per rack, and per square foot, giving leadership a clear basis for design decisions
Standardization & Reuse: develop repeatable design standards and reference architectures that can be deployed across sites, reducing engineering rework and accelerating time to build
Vendor & Technology Evaluation: assess new data center technologies (power delivery, cooling, rack/enclosure systems) for their potential to improve density, cost, or deployment speed
What they're looking for
- Cross-Functional Design Reviews: run design review sessions with Engineering, Operations, and business stakeholders to validate that designs meet both technical requirements and commercial targets before they're locked
- + years of experience in data center design, engineering, or infrastructure: planning, with direct exposure to power, cooling, and space optimization trade-offs
- Strong understanding of data center electrical and mechanical systems: power distribution, UPS, cooling architectures (air and liquid), and structural/floor loading considerations
- Demonstrated experience partnering with commercial or business teams to: translate cost and timeline constraints into engineering decisions
