Process Engineer at Crusoe managing manufacturing data architecture and ERP systems. Bridges design intent and production operations through technical data standards, configuration management, and continuous process improvement.
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:
As a Process Engineer within the Engineering Services department at Crusoe, you are the bridge between design intent and operational reality. You own the high-level logic of our manufacturing data — and the processes that govern how that data is created, maintained, and improved. Your role is a supplement to designing the physical parts by designing, documenting, and overseeing the data architecture that allows those parts to flow seamlessly through our manufacturing processes.
You will act as a technical consultant to Design Engineering during the release process, ensuring that the way we structure our data supports scalable procurement, clear production signals, and long-term product lifecycle management. You ensure our ERP system and project translation to production is a logical reflection of the physical product — and that the processes behind it are clearly defined, consistently followed, and continuously refined.
What You'll Be Working On:
Technical Data Architecture: Define and maintain the standards for how complex assemblies are structured. You determine the logic for "Make vs. Buy" signals, Phantom BOMs, and how sub-assemblies are partitioned for the most efficient procurement flow. You also document these standards so they are repeatable, transferable, and auditable across the team.
Configuration Management: Lead the strategy for product variations and options. You ensure that our ERP logic can handle engineering changes and product configurations without errors or miscommunication and that configuration rules are formally documented and version-controlled alongside the product.
DFM (Design for Manufacturability) Review: Audit new engineering releases for manufacturability within the system. You identify if a design is structured in a way that will drastically affect our supply chain or inventory logic before it reaches their hands. Additionally, you will track those findings back in documented design guidelines that prevent the same issues from recurring.
Process Design & Documentation: Develop and own the end-to-end process documentation for how engineering data enters, moves through, and is maintained within our ERP environment. This includes writing and maintaining SOPs, workflow diagrams, and decision frameworks that give cross-functional teams a clear, shared understanding of how our processes work and why.
Advanced ECO Strategy: Expanding beyond simple ECO execution. You analyze the technical risk of engineering changes, determining the ideal design cutoff point for production and coordinating transition plans for in-process components. You document ECO decision criteria and transition procedures to build institutional knowledge and reduce cycle time over time.
Continuous Improvement: Treat your processes as living systems. You proactively identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and failure points across the engineering - to - production workflow and drive structured improvement initiatives. Through automation, process redesign, better documentation, or cross-functional alignment.
Data-Driven Process Auditing: Develop KPIs and automated audits to monitor the health of the Item Master and BOM structures. You find the root cause of recurring data errors, re-engineer the process to prevent them, and track improvement over time to demonstrate and sustain progress.
Cross-Functional Technical Liaison: Act as the primary technical point of contact for the Supply Chain and Production teams to translate engineering intent into procurement strategies. You ensure process changes are communicated, documented, and adopted across all affected functions.
What You'll Bring to the Team:
Education: Bachelor's degree (B.S.) in Engineering (Industrial, Systems, Mechanical) or technical equivalent.
Experience: 2–5+ years in a technical role where you managed the intersection of Engineering Data and ERP systems.
Systems Mastery: Expertise in ERP logic (e.g., Acumatica, SAP, NetSuite). You should understand MRP (Material Requirements Planning) logic, lead-time offsets, and demand signals.
Technical Literacy: Proficiency in reading engineering drawings and understanding CAD structures.
Process Thinking: Demonstrated ability to design structured workflows, write clear SOPs, and build processes that others can follow and build on — not just solve problems in the moment.
Analytical Problem Solving: Not just fixing data errors, but following root cause analysis through to permanent process-level solutions that prevent recurrence.
Continuous Improvement Mindset: Comfort with methodologies like Lean, Six Sigma, or PDCA — and a habit of asking whether a process is not just working, but working as well as it could.
Communication: The ability to explain both the nuance of ERP to design engineering and the engineering design intent to production members — including translating complex process logic into clear documentation for varied audiences.
