Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

Join Crusoe as a Senior Project Engineer to lead the end-to-end execution of our complex, Engineered-to-Order (ETO) equipment. You will be the primary driver behind the delivery of modular integrated buildings, low-voltage switchboards, and medium-voltage switch gear.

In this role, you will move beyond pure technical execution to own the strategic lifecycle of each project. You will serve as the critical link between design engineering, supply chain, and production, ensuring that custom customer requirements are translated into a high-quality product delivered on time and within budget. Your focus will be on high-level orchestration: balancing schedules, optimizing resource allocation, and proactively mitigating risks before they reach the factory floor.
