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 the Role:

Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI Factory company with a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. Our competitive advantage—"Speed is the only moat"—is directly tied to our ability to rapidly build and deploy our own modular power and compute infrastructure.

We are seeking a Systems Integration Engineer to be the lead technical bridge between our physical "Spark" modular data center (MDC), the high-performance networking and power systems that fuel it, and the AI compute that runs within the system. You will ensure that every Spark unit—from current air-cooled models to our next-gen liquid-cooled roadmap—is a perfectly synchronized "region in a box," ready for the world’s most demanding AI workloads

What You'll Be Working On:

I. Physical-to-Digital Integration

• System Convergence: Lead the integration of electrical, thermal, mechanical, and networking systems for the Spark MDC to support high-density compute requirements.

• Power Architecture: Collaborate with Electrical Engineers to refine site one-line diagrams and internal power distribution, ensuring compatibility with grid-scale and microgrid power sources, including Spark-level back-up power systems

• Network Fabric: Partner with the Networking team to incorporate and standardize the deployment of leaf/spine switches and fiber management within the MDC, optimizing for both East-West (Infiniband) and North-South connectivity. Ensure that connectivity of MDC to fiber etc is properly designed and accounted for.

• Thermal Management: Partner and collaborate with CI (Crusoe Industries), & Product team to ensure internal thermal management of the MDC provides the proper environment to optimize compute/GPU performance and eliminate thermal throttling of any/all compute & networking functions.

II. Roadmap Evolution (Liquid Cooling)

• Thermal Transition: Support the engineering transition from air-cooled to liquid-cooled (DLC/CDU) architectures, focusing on the systems-level impacts on power density and cooling efficiency.

• Prototyping: Assist R&D in the testing and validation of next-gen "Spark" prototypes designed for next generation chip architectures.

III. Technical Standardization & Support

• Manufacturability: Transition the Spark from a pilot-phase asset to a standardized, manufacturable product with documentation ready for contract manufacturing partners, including and incorporating best-in class DFM practices.

• Tier 3 Support: Act as the technical escalation point for field teams during the commissioning of complex, multi-unit deployments.

What You'll Bring to the Team:

• Systems Engineering Mastery: 10+ years in systems engineering or data center design, with a track record of integrating complex power and mechanical systems.

• Power & Thermal Fluency: Deep understanding of medium-voltage power distribution and industrial-scale cooling; specific experience with the transition to liquid-cooled (DLC) systems is highly preferred.

• Networking Integration: Practical knowledge of high-speed data center networking topologies (InfiniBand/RoCE) and the physical layer requirements for large-scale GPU clusters.

• Vertical Integration Mindset: Experience working in environments where hardware and software are co-developed, requiring frequent collaboration with firmware and cloud networking teams.

• Compliance & Standards: Knowledge of UL/CE listing processes and NEC requirements for modular or containerized equipment.

• Technical Communication: Ability to translate complex engineering tradeoffs into clear decision frameworks for non-technical leadership.

• Mountaineer Spirit: A relentless focus on technical preparation, safety-first design, and mastery of integration tools.
