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
Hardware Roadmap Ownership: Own and maintain the multi-year Spark hardware roadmap.
Hardware PRD Authorship: Author precise Spark PRDs for physical modules, translating compute needs into concrete structural, thermal, and electrical specifications.
Compute-to-Hardware Translation: Receive Cloud Product’s GPU, server, and rack requirements and translate them into modular physical configurations - power envelopes/distribution, rack weights, fluid specs. Partner with Cloud Product leads and own the facility-side interface: power distribution to racks, fluid flow, rack weight and floor loadings etc.
Physical Version Management: Manage hardware generation transitions. Define cut-in criteria, retrofit rules, module-side accommodation of rack footprint, loading, and cooling interface per Cloud Product’s rack specifications., and documentation required for manufacturing release.
Spark Hardware TPM Alignment: Work in lockstep with Spark Hardware TPMs and engineering discipline leads (Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Thermal) to guide physical development from concept to build.
Requirements Discipline: Set clear product hardware requirements (module power distribution capacity, thermal capacity, transportability) and hold hardware engineering teams accountable without prescribing detailed sub-component implementation.
What they're looking for
- Design Partner Leadership: Serve as the primary design contact for external architecture, engineering, and modular design firms.
- Requirements intake from Cloud Product: Collaborate with Cloud Product teams to ensure that the physical Spark module hardware supports the GPU & rack-level architecture needs. Translate GPU/rack compute needs directly into physical facility capabilities (fluid flow rates, power specs, structural building and frame requirements).
- Physical Infrastructure Roadmap Expertise: 10-15 years owning multi-year physical product roadmaps, with a proven track record shipping complex hardware or heavy mechanical/electrical infrastructure.
- Disciplined Hardware PRD Management: Expertise in writing clear hardware product requirements (PRDs) for physical systems and requisite sub-systems separating product requirements from engineering requirements, and designing to requirements supplied by an upstream customer or platform team.
