Data Center Design Engineer - Crusoe

Whitespace Design & Planning:Architect comprehensive whitespace layouts, including rack placement and aisle configurations, to maximize equipment density while maintaining optimal airflow and accessibility. Infrastructure Integration:Partner with Electrical and Mechanical teams to seamlessly integrate power delivery and cooling systems into the whitespace, ensuring robust support for high-performance cloud workloads. Capacity & Growth Modeling:Develop sophisticated 3D models and capacity planning tools to project future utilization, ensuring our data centers remain scalable and redundant (N+1, 2N). Connectivity Strategy:Coordinate with Network and Cloud teams to design and implement structured cabling and fiber management systems that meet rigorous performance and low-latency requirements. Cross-Functional Leadership:Participate in design reviews and risk assessments, providing technical guidance to internal stakeholders and external contractors during construction and commissioning phases. Compliance & Excellence:Enforce industry standards (TIA-942, ASHRAE) and local building codes to ensure every design is safe, compliant, and performs to the highest reliability standards. Technical Documentation:Produce and maintain high-fidelity CAD/BIM drawings and schematics that serve as the definitive source for operations, maintenance, and auditing. Continuous Innovation:Evaluate emerging modular technologies and design methodologies to relentlessly improve energy efficiency and site performance. Engineering Foundation:A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Facilities, or Data Center Engineering. Industry Expertise:At least 5+ years of experience in data center design, with a proven track record in cloud-scale or hyperscale environments. Technical Proficiency:Advanced skills in CAD/BIM software (AutoCAD, Revit, Visio, or equivalent) to create precise architectural and engineering schematics. Infrastructure Mastery:Deep technical knowledge of data center power distribution, UPS systems, HVAC/cooling systems, and structured cabling. Standards Knowledge:A firm grasp of industry-standard frameworks, specifically TIA-942, Uptime Institute, ASHRAE, and ANSI/BICSI. Collaborative Mindset:Exceptional communication skills and the ability to drive results within cross-functional teams while managing multiple complex projects simultaneously. Field Readiness:A willingness and ability to travel to data center sites to oversee implementation and conduct site inspections. Advanced Hyperscale Experience:Prior experience specifically designing for ultra-high-density liquid cooling or modular data center deployments. Professional Certifications:Possession of a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) or Certified Data Center Design Professional (CDCP) credential. Sustainability Focus:Experience implementing LEED-certified or carbon-neutral data center cooling and power strategies. Advanced Modeling Skills:Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling to analyze and optimize airflow within the whitespace. Leadership Tenure:Experience mentoring junior engineers or leading external vendor teams through complex infrastructure build-outs.
