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.
The Engineer II (I&C) executes and supports the health of both Building Management Systems (BMS) and Electrical Power Monitoring Systems (EPMS) within mission-critical environments. Reporting to the Site Controls Lead or a Senior I&C Engineer, this role sits at the level where task execution transitions into project ownership: you'll lead small-scale projects within a building, support the delivery of full systems across a campus, and grow your technical and soft-skill capabilities under the guidance of Senior Engineers.
This role spans both the mechanical controls domain (HVAC automation, mechanical monitoring, and the environmental conditions required for high-density compute) and the electrical monitoring domain (power quality monitoring, energy metering, and electrical asset integration that support PUE tracking and electrical fault analysis), with growing autonomy to own tasks and contribute to system delivery under senior guidance on both fronts.
Small-Scale Project Leadership: Lead small-scale projects within a building, such as BMS subsystem retrofits, minor mechanical controls upgrades, or EPMS hardware/software deployments for a specific data hall or electrical room (e.g., integrating new PDU lineups, RPPs, or sensor packages).
Process Improvement: Identify gaps and inefficiencies, including suboptimal BMS logic, dark spots in power monitoring, or latency issues in data polling, and collaborate with Senior Engineers to design and implement fixes (e.g., optimizing Modbus TCP scan rates and database logging).
System Delivery Support: Support delivery of full BMS and EPMS systems across different buildings on a campus, alongside peers and Senior Engineers, ensuring seamless data flow from CRAH units, chillers, switchgear, UPS, and generators to central monitoring stations.
Commissioning Support: Support commissioning (L3 to L5) of mechanical and electrical systems, helping confirm that field sensors and controllers align with the Sequence of Operations (SOO), and that meter readings in the field match EPMS head-end graphics and reporting tools.
Technical Issue Resolution: Support resolution of complex onsite technical issues, such as unstable PID loops, hunting valves, BACnet communication bottlenecks, RS-485 daisy-chain breaks, IP address conflicts, or incorrect CT ratios causing inaccurate power readings.
Trade Partner Coordination: Participate in technical discussions with mechanical and electrical trade partners and equipment manufacturers (CRAH/chillers, Schneider, Eaton, ABB, etc.) to help resolve field and system integration gaps between third-party controllers and BMS/EPMS platforms.
Relationship Building: Establish and maintain trust-based relationships with trade partners onsite, including mechanical and electrical contractors, TAB vendors, controls integrators, and commissioning agents.
Skill Development: Build your own technical and soft skills, including growing mastery of control logic, PID tuning, mechanical and electrical theory, plus technical writing for Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and cross-functional MEP coordination.
Relevant Experience: 3 to 5 years of experience in Instrumentation & Controls or Electrical Engineering, with exposure to Building Automation/Management Systems and/or Power Monitoring/SCADA systems in data centers or large-scale industrial facilities. Comprehensive understanding of MEP systems technical documentation and building engineering drawings, including Mechanical P&IDs, Floor Plans, Sequence of Operations (SOO)/Functional Testing scripts, Electrical One-Lines (SLD), Wiring Diagrams (CT/PT circuits and communication wiring), Points Lists (Modbus registers, etc.), and MEP asset documentation (leak detection, UPS status, generator run-times).
Mandatory Education: A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering (or equivalent technical field experience).
Systems Knowledge: Working knowledge of HVAC sequences (Chilled Water, DX, Evaporative Cooling) and control hardware, as well as power monitoring hardware such as protection relays, circuit breaker trip units, and gateway devices.
Protocols & Platforms: Familiarity with Modbus (RTU and TCP/IP), MQTT, and DNP3 within a mission-critical environment. Experience with multiple PLC platforms (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, etc.) as well as Ignition for SCADA.
Growing Autonomy: A demonstrated ability to lead small-scale projects and tasks within a building, with growing autonomy and a track record of collaborating effectively with Senior Engineers on process improvements.
Sound Judgment: Ability to operate with moderate supervision while knowing when to escalate complex or cross-building issues.
Dual-Discipline Exposure: Hands-on exposure to both BMS and EPMS disciplines, rather than just one, since this role spans mechanical controls and electrical power monitoring.
Platform Specifics: Familiarity with Ignition SCADA (Perspective) integration.
Asset Breadth: Experience with mechanical assets (CRAH units, chillers) and electrical assets (UPS systems, generators, STS, LV/MV switchgear) in the same environment.
Commissioning Tenure: Prior exposure to commissioning processes (L3 to L5) in a data center or mission-critical facility.
Technical Writing: Experience contributing to Root Cause Analysis (RCA) writeups or formal technical reporting for internal stakeholders or clients.
