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.\nWe'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.\nWe'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.\nIf 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.\nAbout This Role\nAs an Instrumentation & Controls Engineer II supporting Crusoe's modular data center platform, you will help build the control system that ships inside every module we manufacture. Modular is how Crusoe compresses the timeline from steel to compute, and that speed only holds if the controls package is repeatable, verified in the factory, and correct the first time it lands in the field. You will work alongside senior I&C engineers to develop the point lists, instrument schedules, and control system drawings that define the platform, then prove that work out on the factory floor through factory acceptance testing before a module ever leaves the building.\nThis is a hands-on engineering role for someone who wants to build depth in industrial controls inside a manufacturing environment rather than one-off site design. You will move between the design desk and the factory, translating standards into deliverables and then validating those deliverables against real hardware. Expect close mentorship from experienced engineers, clear ownership of your assigned deliverables, and increasing independence as your judgment develops. Denver is your home base, with estimated travel at 25% to manufacturing partners and deployment sites. This is a full-time position.\nWhat You'll Be Working On\nDesign Deliverable Development: Develop point lists, instrument schedules, I/O assignments, and control system drawings for modular data center systems under the direction of senior I&C engineers.\n\nFactory Acceptance Testing: Execute and document FAT protocols on control panels and integrated modules, including point-to-point verification, loop checks, and calibration confirmation prior to shipment.\n\nManufacturing Support: Partner with manufacturing on the factory floor to resolve control panel build issues, wiring discrepancies, and instrument installation questions as modules move through production.\n\nPlatform Standardization: Contribute to the repeatable design packages, drawing templates, and test procedures that let the modular platform scale across successive builds without rework.\n\nVendor and Integrator Coordination: Support technical coordination with control panel fabricators, systems integrators, and instrument suppliers on submittals, specification compliance, and open technical items.\n\nField Verification and Startup Support: Conduct field walks, equipment inspections, and basic calibration verification at manufacturing and deployment sites to confirm as-built accuracy and commissioning readiness.\n\nDocumentation Integrity: Maintain accurate as-built drawings, test records, and instrument documentation so downstream construction, commissioning, and operations teams work from a reliable source of truth.\n\nWhat You'll Bring to the Team\nInstrumentation & Controls Foundation: 2 to 4 years of professional experience in industrial instrumentation and controls, including exposure to point list development, control system drawings, and field instrumentation.\n\nPLC Proficiency: Working familiarity with Rockwell and Allen-Bradley platforms, including Studio 5000 and ControlLogix or CompactLogix hardware.\n\nSCADA Exposure: Hands-on experience with Ignition SCADA or a comparable platform, including tag configuration, screen navigation, and basic troubleshooting.\n\nTesting and Verification Discipline: Demonstrated ability to execute structured test procedures, document results accurately, and identify discrepancies before they propagate into downstream deliverables.\n\nField and Factory Readiness: Comfort working in active manufacturing and construction environments, including field walks, panel inspections, and instrument verification alongside technicians and trades.\n\nCollaborative Judgment: A track record of applying established engineering standards independently while escalating technical ambiguity to more experienced engineers early and clearly.\n\nMandatory Education: A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Control Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.\n\nBonus Points\nData Center or Mission-Critical Experience: Prior work on data center mechanical or electrical control systems, or in another high-availability industrial environment.\n\nModular or Prefabricated Delivery: Experience supporting a productized or prefabricated equipment platform where design repeatability and factory verification drive schedule.\n\nProtocol Depth: Practical familiarity with Modbus TCP, BACnet, or OPC UA in a multi-vendor integration context.\n\nIndustry Certifications: Relevant credentials such as network certifications, Rockwell or Inductive Automation certifications.\n\nOT Cybersecurity Awareness: Understanding of industrial network segmentation and OT security practices as applied to control system deployments.\n\nMission Alignment: A genuine interest in energy and AI infrastructure, and in the engineering rigor required to build it at speed.\n\nBenefits:\nCompetitive compensation and equity packages\n\nRestricted Stock Units\n\nPaid time off, paid holidays & leave of absence programs\n\nComprehensive health, dental & vision insurance\n\nEmployer contributions to HSA account\n\nPaid parental leave\n\nPaid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability\n\nProfessional development & tuition reimbursement\n\nMental health & wellness support\n\nCommuter benefits (parking & transit)\n\nCell phone stipend\n\n401(k) Retirement plan with company match up to 4% of salary\n\nVolunteer time off\n\nGlobal travel insurance & emergency assistance\n\nDaily meals allowance\n\nAdditional perks & programs specific to location\n\nCompensation Range\nCompensation will be paid in the range of up to $110,000 -$120,000 + Bonus. Restricted Stock Units are included in all offers. Compensation to be determined by the applicants knowledge, education, and abilities, as well as internal equity and alignment with market data.\nCrusoe is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
