Senior Mechanical Engineer

The Tooling & Fixture Engineer is a motivated, hands-on engineer responsible for designing and supporting production tooling and fixtures across Crusoe's modular data center and power distribution product lines. Reporting through the Manufacturing Engineering organization with a dotted-line connection to Design Engineering, this role bridges day-to-day production needs with upstream product design. In this role, you will ensure that every assembly operation is backed by tooling that is safe, repeatable, and efficient. You will execute tooling projects with increasing independence, own fixture designs through their full lifecycle, and actively participate in DFM/DFMA reviews to enable Crusoe's rapid infrastructure scaling.
