About the Role

We are seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to join the electrical design team for Crusoe's modular data centers and to stay with each deployment from design through construction and commissioning. You will be the technical link between Crusoe's design team, Crusoe Industries (which manufactures our modular data centers), construction partners, and Cloud customers. You will adapt modular designs to each site and carry field lessons back into the next design iteration.

This position requires an electrical professional who thrives at the intersection of facility engineering and product design, and who is comfortable in both the design office and the field.

The role is in-office in Denver. Travel is anticipated at 40% to support factory acceptance testing, supplier visits, and site deployments.

What You'll Be Working On

• Design and specify the electrical systems for modular data center deployments, including MV/LV distribution, UPS, generators, switchboards, and RPPs, with high-availability requirements.

• Take site-specific designs from schematic through construction-ready sets, and review drawings, submittals, and shop drawings from design partners against the Basis of Design.

• Audit short-circuit, protection, arc-flash, and load flow studies.

• Develop and maintain installation details for modular electrical systems, and support the roadmap with R&D as new technologies and configurations are explored.

• Resolve RFIs and Field Engineering Directives during construction, and support installation quality checks and factory witness testing.

• Support commissioning (Levels 1-5) with Crusoe's Cx team, reviewing procedures and results for technical accuracy.

• Capture lessons learned from the field and feed them back into design templates.

• Be an electrical safety champion with Crusoe's construction partners.

What You'll Bring to the Team

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.

• 7+ years of electrical design experience in data centers or other mission-critical facilities, with exposure to construction or commissioning.

• Working knowledge of the NEC and relevant NFPA/IEEE standards.

• Proficiency with AutoCAD or Revit and a power systems analysis tool (ETAP or SKM).

• A track record of taking designs through construction and troubleshooting field issues with practical, code-compliant solutions.

• Ability to manage ambiguity and move between customer discussions and detailed engineering.

• Strong communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences.

Bonus Points

• Active Professional Engineer (PE) license.

• Experience designing or installing modular, prefabricated, or edge data centers.

• Understanding of how AI compute loads affect power distribution, from the utility transformer to the server rack.

• Experience with BESS or alternative energy inputs, or with SCADA and EPMS.

• Experience in a fast-paced design/build environment.
