Staff Electrical Development Engineer

Staff Electrical Development Engineer 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 a highly motivated Electrical Development Engineer to act as a technical bridge between Customers and Crusoe’s Real Estate, Business Development, and Mechanical Design teams for electrical design. This role focuses on the early conceptual design phase of Crusoe’s data center campus projects. You will support Crusoe’s leadership team and senior staff during early stage development by creating concepts for power distribution systems that are safe, reliable, and constructible at a fast pace. The role will also flex into other projects that are at a more mature design phase. This position requires an electrical professional with a mix of electrical construction and design methodologies, problem solving that at times will push norms, and a strong background in fast paced design. The role is in office and must be located in San Francisco. Travel will vary, but is anticipated to be 10%. What You'll Be Working On: - Support early-stage conceptual electrical design efforts, establishing the initial power distribution architecture for new campuses and site acquisitions. This will require a working knowledge of CAD or similar to create sketches. - Develop and maintain standardized electrical design template blocks - Develop specialized power distribution layouts tailored for AI infrastructure as it advances and grows in power density. This will require partnering with Crusoe’s R&D team. - Act as a technical subject matter expert during customer meetings, translating complex requirements into actionable design strategies. - Pivot dynamically to support the broader design engineering group on fast-track projects, value engineering exercises, or unexpected scope changes. - Conduct initial site due diligence, evaluating utility design (provided by Crusoe’s Power team), power constraints, and high-level infrastructure readiness for prospective builds. - Maintain a working knowledge of various Basis of Design requirements from customers - Research and test new, cutting-edge electrical technologies to incorporate into future design iterations What You'll Bring to the Team: - Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field. - 5+ years of experience in data center electrical engineering, spanning design, operations, or technical pre-sales. - High adaptability and the ability to manage ambiguity, smoothly shifting focus between high-level customer discussions and granular engineering templating. - Deep understanding of how AI compute loads impact power distribution, from the utility transformer down to the server rack. - Excellent presentation and interpersonal skills, with the ability to translate highly technical concepts for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Str ...
