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 Staff Instrumentation and Controls Engineer, Deployment - you will be a deployment and execution lead for the "nervous system" of Crusoe’s hyperscale data centers. You will spearhead the installation and integration of the sophisticated BMS/EPMS and SCADA solutions that allow us to monitor and control our high-performance computing environments with surgical precision. This role is fundamental to Crusoe’s mission: by successfully bringing online and integrating field-level HVAC, electrical, and monitoring infrastructure into a seamless, operational fabric, you ensure our AI-optimized cloud remains resilient, efficient, and scalable from day one. This leadership position demands a technical authority who can bridge the gap between engineering design and on-site field execution. You won't just be maintaining systems; you will be driving complex rollouts, overseeing contractor integration, and implementing the deployment standards and commissioning frameworks that scale our global footprint. We are seeking a proactive problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and is passionate about bringing automated systems to life, working with others, and driving consistency and efficiencies across our startup through operational handover. This is a full-time position. What You’ll Be Working On: System Deployment & Execution: Lead the field deployment, integration, and startup of automation solutions for BMS/EPMS systems, ensuring seamless integration and monitor with electrical, and cooling infrastructure. Standardization & Implementation: Enforce system standards, frameworks, and deployment patterns for controls, BMS, and EPMS rollouts across multiple projects and sites. SCADA & Graphics Configuration: Deploy and configure dashboards, HMIs, and operator workstations, ensuring site personnel have clear, functional visibility and control over complex building and power systems. Startup Governance & Escalation Resolution: Oversee system integrators during standard deployments and point-to-point checkouts to ensure strict compliance with design standards, and operate as the controls escalation point to troubleshoot complex automation integration, system inconsistencies, and network integration issues. Protocol Integration & Troubleshooting: Collaborate with design engineers, contractors, and OEM partners in the field to configure, integrate, and troubleshoot networks utilizing BACnet, Modbus, OPC-UA, and MQTT protocols. Site Validation & Handover: Conduct system testing, simulation, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) to validate functionality, sequencing, and data accuracy prior to operational handover. System Optimization & Turnover: Ensure controls platforms correctly collect and push real-time and historical data, enabling performance insight and analysis. Site Support & Training: Mentor and train other controls engineers, on control system operation, troubleshooting best practices, and execution methodology. What You’ll Bring to the Team: Deployment & Integration Mastery: Extensive professional experience in the physical deployment, integration, and startup of PLC, SCADA, BMS, and EPMS platforms. Mission-Critical Execution: Proven ability to successfully execute, deploy, and startup automation systems in data center or other high-availability environments. Protocol & Networking Proficiency: Deep hands-on familiarity with configuring and troubleshooting control protocols such as BACnet, Modbus, OPC-UA, and MQTT, integrating diverse field devices into unified platforms. Industrial Systems Literacy: Strong practical knowledge of HVAC, electrical systems, PLC/DDC logic, and industrial automation equipment operations. Project & Field Leadership: Demonstrated ability to translate engineering designs into physical installations, driving deployment timelines, and navigating a fast paced construction environment. On-Site Problem Solving: A track record of solving complex automation challenges, quickly diagnosing integration issues, and ensuring systems operate exactly as designed. Mandatory Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline. Bonus Points: Advanced Academic Credentials: A Master’s degree in a relevant engineering or technical field. Industry Certifications: Relevant professional certifications in specific PLC or SCADA platforms. Ignition and Rockwell preferred. Cybersecurity Focus: Experience ensuring controls implementations comply with industrial cybersecurity best practices.
