Job Description

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.

Job Responsibility

  • Architect comprehensive whitespace layouts, including rack placement and aisle configurations, to maximize equipment density while maintaining optimal airflow and accessibility
  • 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
  • Develop sophisticated 3D models and capacity planning tools to project future utilization, ensuring our data centers remain scalable and redundant (N+1, 2N)
  • Coordinate with Network and Cloud teams to design and implement structured cabling and fiber management systems that meet rigorous performance and low-latency requirements
  • Participate in design reviews and risk assessments, providing technical guidance to internal stakeholders and external contractors during construction and commissioning phases
  • Enforce industry standards (TIA-942, ASHRAE) and local building codes to ensure every design is safe, compliant, and performs to the highest reliability standards
  • Produce and maintain high-fidelity CAD/BIM drawings and schematics that serve as the definitive source for operations, maintenance, and auditing
  • Evaluate emerging modular technologies and design methodologies to relentlessly improve energy efficiency and site performance

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Facilities, or Data Center Engineering
  • At least 5+ years of experience in data center design, with a proven track record in cloud-scale or hyperscale environments
  • Advanced skills in CAD/BIM software (AutoCAD, Revit, Visio, or equivalent) to create precise architectural and engineering schematics
  • Deep technical knowledge of data center power distribution, UPS systems, HVAC/cooling systems, and structured cabling
  • A firm grasp of industry-standard frameworks, specifically TIA-942, Uptime Institute, ASHRAE, and ANSI/BICSI
  • Exceptional communication skills and the ability to drive results within cross-functional teams while managing multiple complex projects simultaneously
  • A willingness and ability to travel to data center sites to oversee implementation and conduct site inspections

Nice to have

  • Advanced Hyperscale Experience: Prior experience specifically designing for ultra-high-density liquid cooling or modular data center deployments
  • Professional Certifications: Possession of a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) or Certified Data Center Design Professional (CDCP) credential
  • Sustainability Focus: Experience implementing LEED-certified or carbon-neutral data center cooling and power strategies
  • Advanced Modeling Skills: Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling to analyze and optimize airflow within the whitespace
  • Leadership Tenure: Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading external vendor teams through complex infrastructure build-outs

What we offer

  • pension contributions
  • private health and dental insurance
  • income protection
  • life assurance
