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
Team Leadership & People Management: Directly manage a team of mechanical design engineers. Conduct regular 1-on-1s, performance reviews, and growth conversations while providing expert technical guidance, mentorship, and professional development.
Engineering Queue & Resource Execution: Own the mechanical engineering workqueue, assigning engineers to projects based on expertise, availability, and production schedule priorities while pro-actively surfacing schedule risks.
Technical Design Leadership & Execution: Step in to execute individual contributor work at an advanced level, utilizing expert 3D modeling skills to tackle complex design challenges when the team requires additional bandwidth.
Deliverable & Model Review: Serve as a technical reviewer for mechanical deliverables, including specification sheets, bills of materials (BOMs), structural/thermal analysis, and detailed assembly instructions.
Lifecycle & Change Management: Independently lead and manage Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) as a key part of product release and ongoing lifecycle management.
Compliance & Standards Execution: Champion and ensure strict compliance of all product designs with regulatory requirements, commercial codes, and engineering standards (e.g., UL, IEC, IBC, ISO), while maintaining PDM/PLM/ERP data integrity.
What they're looking for
- Design-to-Manufacturing Handoff: Partner closely with Manufacturing Engineering and the shop floor to resolve design questions, leading Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA/DFx) reviews and driving cost-reduction strategies.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- Professional Experience: 7+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design.
- Leadership Track Record: Proven success in a supervisory or management role for at least 1-2 years leading engineering teams.
