Senior Hardware Infrastructure Capacity Planner

Crusoe•Sunnyvale, CA

5d•$160,000 - $195,000

About The Position

Crusoe is looking for a Senior Hardware Infrastructure Capacity Planner to join their rapidly expanding global infrastructure footprint. This role operates at the intersection of Crusoe's products, services, and physical infrastructure, focusing on end-to-end physical hardware forecasting, supply alignment, and allocation planning. The position bridges long-range engineering models with global supply chain and procurement metrics, coordinating Bill of Materials (BOM) pipelines, vendor hardware lead times, and data center site readiness against complex capacity demand models. The goal is to ensure the precise availability of compute, storage, and networking hardware assets when and where they are needed, supporting Crusoe's mission to align computing with environmental sustainability.

Requirements

3+ years of experience in Infrastructure Supply Planning, Hardware Planning, Global Supply Chain, or Operations Engineering within a massive scale technical network environment.
Direct experience navigating the supply chains, hardware lifecycle stages, or procurement dynamics of a public cloud hyperscaler or large-scale high-performance computing network.
Solid foundational understanding of modern server system architectures, enterprise hardware components (compute, memory, storage topologies), and typical data center power/space variables.
Advanced proficiency in building forecasting sheets, predictive inventory models, or mathematical optimization models to parse hardware lead times and deployment risks.
A proven ability to distill complex engineering designs into clear supply requirements for vendors and procurement partners, and vice versa.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Operations, Operations Research, Management Science, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent quantitative discipline.

Nice To Haves

Direct experience managing supply constraints and vendor pipelines specifically for high-performance AI infrastructure (e.g., NVIDIA accelerated platforms and specialized networking frameworks).
Experience defining, building, or implementing custom Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integrations or automated hardware asset management software workflows.
A strong passion for clean energy, data center power grid optimizations, and driving structural sustainability in the tech sector.

Responsibilities

Build, execute, and scale hardware allocation models, mapping long-range customer capacity requirements to physical server, rack, and component procurement cycles.
Partner deeply with Global Supply Chain and Procurement to track vendor lead times, manage manufacturing horizons, and preemptively mitigate component shortage risks.
Collaborate with Data Center Engineering and Field Operations to align physical rack delivery schedules, power allocations, and network availability constraints with upcoming customer deployments.
Translate high-level compute and storage demands into discrete, actionable Component-level Bill of Materials forecasts (CPUs, GPUs, memory, storage fabrics, and custom networking silicons).
Develop data-driven models to optimize buffer stock levels, monitor work-in-progress (WIP) deployments, and track total equipment capitalization metrics across the entire fleet.
Review ongoing hardware pipeline variances with Finance, Product Management, and Engineering to continuously tune capital expenditures (CapEx) against utilization targets.
