Data Center Design Engineer

Crusoe's mission is to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. We’re crafting the engine that powers a world where people can create ambitiously with AI — without sacrificing scale, speed, or sustainability.Be a part of the AI revolution with sustainable technology at Crusoe. Here, you'll drive meaningful innovation, make a tangible impact, and join a team that’s setting the pace for responsible, transformative cloud infrastructure.About This Role:As the Data Center Design Engineer, you will be the primary architect of Crusoe’s operational computing environments. You will bridge the gap between heavy infrastructure and high-performance computing by designing the "whitespace"- the critical area where our servers, storage, and network equipment live. Your work is fundamental to Crusoe’s mission of aligning the future of computing with the future of the climate; by optimizing power distribution, cooling, and equipment density, you directly enable the scalability and energy efficiency of our sustainable cloud platform.You will join a bold, collaborative team where you will lead the planning and implementation of high-density layouts and modular infrastructure. The ideal candidate is a technical problem-solver who thrives in the intersection of mechanical, electrical, and network engineering. This is a full-time position designed for an innovative engineer who wants to build the physical foundation of an ethical and sustainable digital world.What You’ll Be Working On:Whitespace Design & Planning: Architect comprehensive whitespace layouts, including rack placement and aisle configurations, to maximize equipment density while maintaining optimal airflow and accessibility.Infrastructure Integration: Partner with Electrical and Mechanical teams to seamlessly integrate power delivery and cooling systems into the whitespace, ensuring robust support for high-performance cloud workloads.Capacity & Growth Modeling: Develop sophisticated 3D models and capacity planning tools to project future utilization, ensuring our data centers remain scalable and redundant (N+1, 2N).Connectivity Strategy: Coordinate with Network and Cloud teams to design and implement structured cabling and fiber management systems that meet rigorous performance and low-latency requirements.Cross-Functional Leadership: Participate in design reviews and risk assessments, providing technical guidance to internal stakeholders and external contractors during construction and commissioning phases.Compliance & Excellence: Enforce industry standards (TIA-942, ASHRAE) and local building codes to ensure every design is safe, compliant, and performs to the highest reliability standards.Technical Documentation: Produce and maintain high-fidelity CAD/BIM drawings and schematics that serve as the definitive source for operations, maintenance, and auditing.Continuous Innovation: Evaluate emerging modular technologies and design methodologies to relentlessly improve energy efficiency and site performance.What You’ll Bring to the Team:Engineering Foundation: A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Facilities, or Data Center Engineering.Industry Expertise: At least 5+ years of experience in data center design, with a proven track record in cloud-scale or hyperscale environments.Technical Proficiency: Advanced skills in CAD/BIM software (AutoCAD, Revit, Visio, or equivalent) to create precise architectural and engineering schematics.Infrastructure Mastery: Deep technical knowledge of data center power distribution, UPS systems, HVAC/cooling systems, and structured cabling.Standards Knowledge: A firm grasp of industry-standard frameworks, specifically TIA-942, Uptime Institute, ASHRAE, and ANSI/BICSI.Collaborative Mindset: Exceptional communication skills and the ability to drive results within cross-functional teams while managing multiple complex projects simultaneously.Field Readiness: A willingness and ability to travel to data center sites to oversee implementatio ...
