A vertically integrated AI infrastructure company is building its own manufacturing quality function, signaling it is moving beyond buying compute equipment into producing its own power and data-center hardware.
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:
Crusoe is building the infrastructure that powers the next generation of AI and high-performance computing, and manufacturing quality sits at the center of making that infrastructure real. As our Manufacturing Quality Engineer, you'll develop and drive the quality processes behind the equipment and assemblies that keep our AI data centers running, partnering closely with Manufacturing, Design Engineering, Supply Chain, and Commissioning teams to make sure what we build meets spec the first time.
You'll bring deep manufacturing quality expertise into a fast-moving environment, building inspection plans, leading root-cause investigations, and working directly with suppliers to raise process capability across the board. It's a chance to engineer quality into one of the most ambitious infrastructure buildouts happening right now, rather than inspecting it in after the fact.
What You'll Be Working On:
Manufacturing Quality Engineering: Develop and implement quality control plans, inspection procedures, and acceptance criteria for critical manufacturing operations, and perform first article, in-process, and final product inspections
Data Center Infrastructure Quality: Review engineering drawings, BOMs, and specifications, and verify manufacturing and assembly conformity for rack assemblies, cooling infrastructure, power distribution equipment, and other mission-critical equipment before release
Supplier Quality Management: Establish supplier quality requirements, evaluate supplier processes and quality systems, and drive supplier corrective actions for recurring defects and nonconformances
Nonconformance & Corrective Action: Lead root-cause investigations (8D, 5 Why, Fishbone), drive CAPA with manufacturing teams and suppliers, and verify corrective-action effectiveness
Process Validation & Continuous Improvement: Develop PFMEAs, establish SPC for critical processes, and apply statistical methods and Lean/Six Sigma practices to reduce scrap, rework, and process variation
Testing & Inspection: Develop quality verification plans, coordinate factory acceptance testing (FAT) and qualification activities, and ensure calibrated measurement equipment is used throughout
QMS & Compliance: Support implementation of the Quality Management System, maintain quality documentation and traceability, and support internal, external, and supplier audits
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Design Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Procurement, and Construction/Commissioning to resolve quality, manufacturability, and installation issues
What You'll Bring to the Team:
Education: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline
Quality Engineering Experience: 5+ years of experience in manufacturing quality engineering, supplier quality, or process quality engineering
Manufacturing Exposure: Experience working with complex manufactured products, industrial equipment, mechanical assemblies, electrical systems, or infrastructure components
Technical Foundation: Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, inspection methodologies, engineering drawings, and technical specifications
Root Cause & Corrective Action: Demonstrated experience with root-cause analysis, 8D, CAPA, and nonconformance management
Quality Planning: Experience developing inspection plans, control plans, PFMEAs, and manufacturing quality procedures
Statistical Quality Tools: Working knowledge of statistical quality tools, SPC, process capability, and MSA
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ability to collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, and operations teams
Core Skills: Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills
Safety and Compliance: Position is designated a safety-sensitive position located in safety-sensitive facilities. Mandatory participation in company safety, background check, drug, and alcohol programs is required.
Bonus Points:
Certifications: ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE), Certified Quality Auditor (CQA), or equivalent
Lean Six Sigma: Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or Black Belt
ISO 9001 Experience: Experience with ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems
Data Center Industry Experience: Experience in data center infrastructure, power systems, cooling systems, industrial equipment, or modular manufacturing
Standards Knowledge: Knowledge of applicable electrical and mechanical product standards and certification requirements
Supplier & NPI Experience: Experience with supplier audits, manufacturing process validation, and new product introduction
Digital Quality Systems: Familiarity with PLM, ERP, MES, and digital quality management systems
High-Volume Manufacturing: Experience supporting high-volume or high-complexity manufacturing environments
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
