Senior Hardware Systems Engineer

We are seeking a Hardware Production / Sustaining Engineer to strengthen Crusoe’s Hardware Systems Engineering team and close critical skill gaps in debugging, validation, and production support of high-performance compute systems. In this role, you will take ownership of the full hardware lifecycle—from prototype bring-up to large-scale production—while driving automation, deep issue resolution, and reliability across Crusoe Cloud’s GPU- and CPU-based infrastructure.

You will work closely with cross-functional teams to support, debug, and improve hardware platforms at scale, with a particular focus on PCIe, InfiniBand, and NVMe/storage, which have been identified as essential areas for deeper expertise. Your work will directly impact Crusoe’s ability to deploy and operate sustainable, AI-first compute systems with world-class performance and reliability.

What You’ll Be Working On:

• Drive the full hardware development and sustaining lifecycle, including feasibility, bring-up, validation, deployment, and ongoing production support.
• Develop and maintain scripting and automation frameworks for hardware testing, diagnostics, and continuous reliability improvements.
• Lead deep troubleshooting and debugging across:
• PCIe (link training, topology, performance issues)
• InfiniBand (fabric debugging, throughput, connectivity issues)
• NVMe/storage (performance bottlenecks, firmware interactions, failure analysis)
• Conduct rigorous system validation and characterization for GPU, CPU, and high-performance compute platforms.
• Support E2E integration and solution testing to ensure Crusoe Cloud products meet performance, reliability, and scalability expectations.
• Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams to resolve system-level issues and enable stable production operation.
• Drive prototyping, qualification, and readiness for high-volume manufacturing with both internal teams and external vendors.
• Identify opportunities for new hardware technologies, testing methods, and sustainability improvements aligned with Crusoe’s long-term objectives.
• Provide data-driven insights to influence Crusoe’s hardware roadmap and reliability strategy.
