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. ABOUT THIS ROLE As a Senior Instrumentation & Controls Engineer supporting Crusoe's modular data center platform, you will own the control system deliverables for major systems inside the modules we manufacture. Modular is how Crusoe compresses the timeline from steel to compute, and that speed only holds when the controls package is repeatable, verified in the factory, and correct the first time it lands in the field. You will independently produce and defend the point lists, instrument schedules, and control system drawings for your assigned systems, then prove them out through factory acceptance testing before a module ships. This role sits at the point where design intent meets manufactured hardware. You will move between the design desk and the factory floor, adapting standards to non-standard conditions, resolving equipment substitutions and installation deviations without waiting for direction, and making the judgment calls that keep a production line moving. Your deliverables become the reference that construction, commissioning, and operations teams build against, and you will mentor Engineer I and II teammates on the standards behind them. Denver is your home base, with estimated travel at 25% to manufacturing partners and deployment sites. This is a full-time position. WHAT YOU'LL BE WORKING ON * System Design Ownership: Own the I&C design deliverables for assigned building-level or major systems, including point lists, I/O assignments, instrument schedules, and control system drawings from concept through as-built. * Factory Acceptance Testing Leadership: Develop and execute FAT protocols on control panels and integrated modules, adjudicate discrepancies against design intent, and hold the release gate before shipment. * Non-Standard Condition Resolution: Resolve equipment substitutions requiring control specification updates, field installation deviations, and calibration discrepancies by adapting established procedures with minimal guidance. * Platform Standardization: Improve the repeatable design packages, drawing templates, and test procedures that let the modular platform scale across successive builds, feeding lessons from the factory floor back into the standard. * Vendor and Integrator Coordination: Lead technical coordination with control panel fabricators, systems integrators, and instrument suppliers on submittal review, specification compliance, and closure of open technical items. * Commissioning Readiness: Coordinate control loop checkout, startup support, and field verification activities so modules arrive at deployment sites commissioning-ready with accurate documentation. * Mentorship: Coach Instrumentation & Controls Engineer I and II teammates on Crusoe's control platforms, documentation standards, and field verification practices, and review their deliverables before release. * Schedule Accountability: Track your I&C deliverable schedule against project milestones and flag risk to design and deployment leadership early enough to act on it. WHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TEAM * Instrumentation & Controls Depth: 5 to 8 years of professional experience in industrial instrumentation and controls, with demonstrated independent ownership of design deliverables across the design and commissioning lifecycle. * PLC Proficiency: Strong working command of Rockwell and Allen-Bradley platforms, including Studio 5000 and ControlLogix or CompactLogix hardware, and the ability to read, modify, and troubleshoot existing logic. * SCADA Capability: Hands-on experience with Ignition SCADA or a comparable platform, including tag architecture, screen development, historian configuration, and troubleshooting integration issues. * Testing and Commissioning Rigor: Proven ability to author and execute test procedures, drive discrepancies to closure, and make release decisions on the accuracy of your own verification. * Field and Factory Judgment: Comfort operating in active manufacturing and construction environments, with the credibility to work through installation and calibration issues directly with technicians, trades, and vendors. * Documentation Discipline: A track record of producing accurate, well-documented deliverables that downstream construction and operations teams can rely on without rework. * Mandatory Education: A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Control Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline. BONUS POINTS * Data Center or Mission-Critical Experience: Prior work on data center mechanical or electrical control systems, or in another high-availability industrial environment. * Modular or Prefabricated Delivery: Experience supporting a productized or prefabricated equipment platform where design repeatability and factory verification drive schedule. * Protocol Depth: Practical fluency in Modbus TCP, BACnet, or OPC UA within multi-vendor integration environments. * Systems Integrator Perspective: Experience on the integrator or EPC side of control system delivery, and an understanding of how scope, submittals, and acceptance criteria are negotiated. * OT Cybersecurity Awareness: Working knowledge of industrial network segmentation and OT security practices as applied to control system deployments. * Professional Credentials: Relevant certifications such as network certifications, Rockwell or Inductive Automation credentials. * Mission Alignment: A genuine interest in energy and AI infrastructure, and in the engineering rigor required to build it at speed. Benefits: * Competitive compensation and equity packages * Restricted Stock Units * Paid time off, paid holidays & leave of absence programs * Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance * Employer contributions to HSA account * Paid parental leave * Paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability * Professional development & tuition reimbursement * Mental health & wellness support * Commuter benefits (parking & transit) * Cell phone stipend * 401(k) Retirement plan with company match up to 4% of salary * Volunteer time off * Global travel insurance & emergency assistance * Daily meals allowance * Additional perks & programs specific to location Compensation Range Compensation will be paid in the range of up to $130,000 -$150,000 + 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.
