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
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
