Staff Infrastructure Design 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 This Role

The Infrastructure Design Engineer is responsible for planning, designing, and implementing data center whitespace environments — the operational computing areas where servers, storage, and network equipment are deployed. This role ensures whitespace layout, power distribution, cooling strategy, and cabling infrastructure support high availability, scalability, and operational efficiency. The engineer partners with Facilities, Electrical and Mechanical teams, and Cloud Infrastructure Architects to ensure whitespace designs align with current and future cloud workload requirements.

What You'll Be Working On:

Design whitespace layouts including rack placement, aisle configuration, equipment density, and airflow strategy

Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineering teams to integrate power distribution and cooling infrastructure into whitespace environments

Optimize whitespace designs for capacity, scalability, redundancy, airflow performance, and energy efficiency

Coordinate with network and cloud teams to ensure structured cabling, connectivity, and fiber management meet performance requirements

Validate redundancy strategies (N+1, 2N) and ensure designs align with SLA requirements

Ensure whitespace designs comply with industry standards including TIA-942, Uptime Institute guidelines, ASHRAE recommendations, and applicable codes

Apply local building codes, safety regulations, and company design policies

Develop CAD/BIM drawings, schematics, and 3D models of whitespace environments

Create capacity planning models to forecast growth, utilization, and infrastructure scaling

Maintain technical documentation supporting operations, maintenance, and audit requirements

Support construction, installation, commissioning, and deployment activities for new data center environments

Participate in design reviews, risk assessments, and site inspections

Provide technical guidance to internal teams, contractors, and external partners

Evaluate new technologies, modular designs, and industry best practices to improve performance and efficiency

Conduct post-occupancy evaluations to validate design outcomes and identify improvements

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Facilities Engineering, Data Center Engineering, or equivalent experience
