About The Position
Crusoe is seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to join its electrical design team for modular data centers. The engineer will support each deployment from design through construction and commissioning, serving as the technical link between Crusoe’s design team, Crusoe Industries, construction partners, and Cloud customers. The role adapts modular designs to individual sites and incorporates field lessons into future design iterations. It combines facility engineering and product design, with work in both the design office and the field. The position is in-office in Denver, with anticipated travel of 40% for factory acceptance testing, supplier visits, and site deployments.
Requirements
