Senior Staff Quality Control Engineer

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.

As a Senior Staff Quality Control (QC) Engineer, you will serve as a senior technical authority for construction quality across Crusoe’s mission-critical data center infrastructure. You will define, standardize, and improve quality engineering practices across major construction scopes, with deep focus on MEP systems, commissioning readiness, inspection standards, defect prevention, and turnover integrity.

This is a highly field-driven, technically deep role at the intersection of construction, engineering, MEP systems, and commissioning — where quality directly impacts uptime, performance, capital efficiency, and long-term reliability.

What You’ll Be Working On

Serve as a senior technical QC leader across large-scale, mission-critical data center construction projects
Define and improve program-level quality engineering standards, inspection methods, and acceptance criteria
Work across multiple tenant quality programs and reconcile differing spec and flow-down requirements.
Develop, refine, and govern Inspection Test Plans, checklists, inspection workflows, and quality documentation standards across civil, structural, electrical, mechanical, controls, and commissioning-related scopes
Ensure critical MEP systems — including electrical distribution, mechanical/cooling systems, controls, and related infrastructure — are installed in accordance with design intent, specifications, submittals, code requirements, and performance expectations
Partner closely with Construction, Design, Commissioning, Operations, GCs, subcontractors, OEMs, AHJs, and third-party inspectors to drive consistent quality outcomes
Provide senior-level technical review of drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, field changes, and construction execution plans from a quality and constructability perspective
Lead root cause analysis for recurring defects, non-conformances, rework drivers, and system-level quality failures
Establish defect taxonomies, trend reporting, and quality metrics that provide visibility into systemic risk and performance across scopes or projects
Drive pre-functional and functional readiness standards in partnership with commissioning teams
Provide technical quality sign-off recommendations for systems prior to commissioning, energization, turnover, and operational handoff
Review and validate non-conformance reports, corrective action plans, punch lists, inspection results, test reports, as-builts, redlines, O&M manuals, and turnover packages
Identify quality risks early and influence corrective action before issues impact schedule, commissioning, cost, or reliability
Translate field lessons learned into scalable standards, playbooks, and repeatable quality practices
Mentor QC Engineers, QC Managers, construction teams, and trade partners on technical quality standards and inspection discipline
Support audit readiness and maintain high-quality documentation and reporting standards across assigned projects or campus scopes

What Success Looks Like

Critical MEP systems are installed correctly and ready for first-pass commissioning success
Repeat defects, rework, and preventable quality issues are reduced through stronger standards and early detection
Construction, commissioning, and design teams operate from a shared, technically rigorous quality framework
Quality metrics and field data are trusted, visible, and used to drive decisions
Turnover documentation is complete, accurate, and audit-ready
Lessons learned are translated into improved standards across projects, scopes, an
