Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company building the future of energy and compute. The company owns and operates every layer of the stack—from electrons to tokens—to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads, with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world.
The Spark Business Unit is scaling deployment of modular power and compute infrastructure across multiple sites. This Senior Project Engineer role sits within the Digital Infrastructure Group's Engineering team, dedicated full-time to Spark deployment execution. You will support project and site-level engineering across active deployments, coordinating with design engineering on mechanical, thermal, and controls scope while owning execution, site planning, and vendor coordination at the project level. This role augments the team's general engineering capacity and is in-office, five days a week, based out of one of Crusoe's office locations.
Key responsibilities include:
- Support site layout, planning, design, and execution for small- to medium-scale data center deployment projects
- Support mechanical and controls design, specification, and equipment selection
- Coordinate site-level infrastructure deployment methodologies, including chillers, transformers, UPS solutions, and related systems
- Work with internal and external design and construction partners to execute projects and coordinate with internal stakeholders
- Support mechanical and thermal rollout as Spark evolves from air-cooled baselines to next-generation high-density liquid-cooled architectures, executing against designs rather than authoring them
- Serve as a dedicated Spark deployment resource for project-level engineering work
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
- 5+ years of mechanical engineering experience with exposure to chilled water systems and equipment, air cooling, and HVAC
- Experience with control strategies and sequence of operations for mechanical systems
- Industrial or mission-critical experience (required)
- Data center experience (preferred, not required)
- Experience executing or managing chilled water system installations and central equipment (chillers, pumps, etc.) at the project or site level
- Working proficiency with CAD tools (Revit, Navisworks, Bluebeam) for reviewing and coordinating design documents
- Working knowledge of relevant mechanical codes and standards (ICC, ASME B31.x, ASHRAE guidelines, NFPA standards)
- Comfortable partnering across hardware, software, design engineering, and construction teams to execute deployment projects on schedule
Bonus qualifications:
- Experience with modular building deployment or construction
- Familiarity with BIM workflows and full-lifecycle drawing packages (30/60/90/100%)
- Professional Engineer (PE) license
