Senior Staff Data Center Operations Engineer, GPU Hardware ArchitectureActive$179K–$218K

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

  • For DC Engineering: You are the internal consultant. You translate upcoming GPU power/thermal roadmaps (NVIDIA/AMD) into design requirements for our next-generation facilities.

  • For Site Operations: You are the "Technical Enabler." You develop the diagnostic tools and technical SOPs that enable field technicians to resolve complex GPU issues with surgical accuracy.

  • For Sourcing: You are the "Technical Strategist." You define the technical sparing requirements and site-level inventory needs based on hardware failure telemetry.

  • Engineering Education & Design Support: Provide deep-dive technical guidance to the Data Center Engineering team on upcoming silicon (e.g., NVIDIA Blackwell/Rubin, AMD MI350/400). Ensure future facility designs for power, cooling, and rack-spacing are ready for 2000W+ per-chip densities.

  • Predictive Operations & Telemetry: Leverage AI/ML methodologies to analyze fleet-wide telemetry (power draws, thermal gradients, and error rates). You will lead the transition from reactive troubleshooting to predictive maintenance , identifying "pre-failure" patterns in HBM or NVLink components before they impact customer training runs.

  • Technical Sparing Architecture: Architect the site-level sparing strategy from a technical perspective. Use failure telemetry and MTBF data to define the "Critical Spares List" and stocking levels required at each site to meet cluster uptime targets, providing these requirements to Sourcing for execution.

What they're looking for

  • + years in Hardware Engineering, Systems Architecture, or Data Center Infrastructure.
  • The "Consultant" Mindset: Proven track record of educating and influencing cross-functional teams (specifically Engineering and Operations).
  • GPU Authority: You have managed or architected GPU clusters at scale (thousands of nodes) at a hyperscaler, a GPU-specialized cloud, or a major silicon vendor.
  • Competitive compensation
  • Restricted Stock Units
  • Paid time off & paid holidays
  • Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance
  • Employer contributions to HSA account
