About the Role
~1 min readCrusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company with a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. Our competitive advantage—“Speed is the only moat”—is directly tied to our ability to rapidly design, deploy, and optimize our modular power and compute infrastructure.
We are seeking a Principal Systems Integration Engineer to join our R&D team as the senior technical authority responsible for defining the future of Crusoe’s data center architecture. You will evaluate next-generation technologies—working with emerging startups, established industry providers, and research institutions—and lead the development of system-level integration concepts that advance Crusoe’s infrastructure from pilot-scale validation through hyperscale deployment.
This is a rare role in the industry. At most companies, power engineers never talk to compute architects, and facility designers work in isolation from software teams. As part of Crusoe’s R&D organization, you will work at the seams between these disciplines—scanning the industry for emerging technologies, building relationships with the companies and researchers developing them, defining reference architectures for future platforms, and partnering with engineering teams across the company to take R&D concepts from bench-scale evaluation to production deployment. If you want to shape the next generation of AI data center technologies, this is the role.
