About the company
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.
About the Role
We are seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to join the electrical design team for Crusoe’s modular data centers and to stay with each deployment from design through construction and commissioning. You will be the technical link between Crusoe’s design team, Crusoe Industries (which manufactures our modular data centers), construction partners, and Cloud customers. You will adapt modular designs to each site and carry field lessons back into the next design iteration.
This position requires an electrical professional who thrives at the intersection of facility engineering and product design, and who is comfortable in both the design office and the field.
The role is in-office in Denver. Travel is anticipated at 40% to support factory acceptance testing, supplier visits, and site deployments.
What You’ll Be Working On
•
Design and specify the electrical systems for modular data center deployments, including MV/LV distribution, UPS, generators, switchboards, and RPPs, with high-availability requirements.
•
Take site-specific designs from schematic through construction-ready sets, and review drawings, submittals, and shop drawings from design partners against the Basis of Design.
•
Audit short-circuit, protection, arc-flash, and load flow studies.
•
Develop and maintain installation details for modular electrical systems, and support the roadmap with R&D as new technologies and configurations are explored.
•
Resolve RFIs and Field Engineering Directives during construction, and support installation quality checks and factory witness testing.
•
Support commissioning (Levels 1-5) with Crusoe’s Cx team, reviewing procedures and results for technical accuracy.
•
Capture lessons learned from the field and feed them back into design templates.
•
Be an electrical safety champion with Crusoe’s construction partners.
