Crusoe is hiring a Staff TPM to own deployment programs for new data center sites and capacity expansions - driving the entire engagement model from chip vendor engagement through first customer cluster delivery, and shaping how the still-forming TPM function operates.
Stack
Responsibilities
- ▹Own infrastructure deployment for new sites or site expansions end-to-end: chip vendor and OEM dependencies, architecture updates, cloud foundations work, commissioning gate framework definition, and first customer cluster delivery as the success metric
- ▹Lead Deployment Phase 0 on the Cloud TPM side: define firmware version and DOCA targets before kickoff, set commissioning gate criteria, and define the DRI matrix
- ▹Manage compounding cross-SKU dependencies where active production programs (e.g. B200/GB300/VR) run in parallel with capacity expansion projects
- ▹Own real-time execution dashboards; deliver crisp, data-driven executive updates
- ▹Govern cross-organizational dependencies without waiting for escalation authority
- ▹Coach more junior TPMs on technical depth, risk identification, and executive communication
- ▹Actively drive AI tool integration across programs for risk detection, dependency mapping, and executive communication
Requirements
- ▹Deep, working fluency with GPU architecture across SKU generations, firmware lifecycle (DOCA, driver stacks, BIOS/BMC), compute orchestration, SDN, storage, networking (leaf-spine topology, ZTP, fabric commissioning), and monitoring/observability
- ▹Direct hardware partner engagement: personal ownership of NVIDIA or OEM certification and validation timelines
- ▹Active daily use of AI tools to drive program-level outcomes: risk detection, dependency mapping, data analysis, and executive communication
- ▹10+ years as a Technical Program Manager with a track record of owning infrastructure deployment programs end-to-end at a hyperscaler, GPU cloud provider, or AI infrastructure company
- ▹Proven ability to define deployment engagement models from scratch, not just operate within existing frameworks
- ▹Track record of driving cross-organizational alignment at VP/SVP level without formal authority
- ▹Exceptional written and verbal communication for delivering clear, data-driven, decision-oriented updates to executive stakeholders
Nice to have
- ▹Experience defining or substantially redesigning a commissioning gate framework for site deployments
- ▹Experience coaching or developing more junior TPMs in technical depth and program execution
