Modular Data Center Systems Engineer – Spark

About the role

We are seeking a highly collaborative Modular Data Center Systems Engineer to serve as the technical "glue" between our modular hardware, site-level infrastructure, and high-performance compute teams for our Spark units.

Responsibilities

• Act as the primary technical interface between specialized engineering teams (Electrical, Thermal, Mechanical) to ensure their independent designs converge into a unified, optimized MDC architecture.
• Interface Management: Collaborate with the Energy Development and Construction teams to define and validate site-level interface requirements, ensuring seamless electrical "tie-ins" (UPS/Transformers) and mechanical connections (CDU/Secondary Loops).
• Deployment Readiness: Partner with Field Operations and Commissioning teams to translate design intent into field reality, serving as the lead technical coordinator during complex modular deployments.
• Liquid Cooling Transition: Support the transition from air-cooled to direct liquid-cooled (DLC) systems by coordinating the integration of CDUs and coolant distribution to the MDCs.
• Standards & Compliance: Collaborate with compliance experts to ensure integrated systems meet UL, CE, and NEC standards for modular equipment, when and where needed.
• Documentation & Hand-off: Coordinate and maintain comprehensive technical documentation (i.e. LOD 400) by aggregating inputs from various engineering disciplines, ensuring a cohesive "data center in a box" blueprint for manufacturing partners.
• Feedback Loops: Facilitate structured sessions between manufacturing (Crusoe Industries) and design teams to drive continuous improvement in modular system integration and MDC product roadmaps.

Requirements

• B.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in data centers, industrial systems, or complex modular infrastructure, with a proven ability to manage technical dependencies across multiple disciplines.
• Exceptional ability to work across "swim lanes," influencing outcomes and driving technical consensus without needing to own every component design.
• Strong familiarity with the interplay between power (UPS/transformer tie-ins) and high-density cooling systems (CDUs), construction and manufacturing.
• Ability to synthesize complex technical challenges into actionable integration plans for diverse teams.
