## About the role

You will be the owner’s technical authority for the mechanical, electrical, and controls systems behind Crux’s TPU fleet. You will translate Google’s TPU cluster requirements — densities, liquid cooling, power quality, network topology constraints — into facility requirements, and hold every design to them: our own basis of design on greenfield projects, and third-party provided designs.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years in mechanical/electrical engineering for data centers or critical facilities — design, commissioning, or owner’s engineering — with deep working knowledge of NEC, NFPA, IEEE, and ASHRAE standards and BMS/EPMS systems
- Direct experience with high-density AI/HPC infrastructure: direct-to-chip liquid cooling, 100kW+ racks, large-scale UPS/generator plants — you have designed, commissioned, or operated it, not just read about it
- Owner-side design review experience — holding AE engineers, vendors, and developers accountable to a requirements set and putting a cost on every deviation
- PE license (mechanical or electrical)
- TPU or large GPU cluster deployment experience, or close work with hyperscaler hardware/facility integration teams
- Commissioning credentials or agent-side experience (Levels 1–5, IST) on mission-critical projects
