Material Planner (Mechanical)

Role Summary

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.

The Material Planner, Mechanical is responsible for ensuring the production schedule is materially feasible for all mechanical components, including enclosures, structural fabrications, doors, and sheet metal. Working directly from the Master Production Schedule (MPS) and released Manufacturing Bill of Materials (MBOM), you will run MRP, maintain Clear-to-Build (CTB) status, manage shortages proactively, and lead the day-to-day supplier forecast and commitment cadence with fabrication vendors.

This role acts as the operational backbone bridging production planning, physical inventory, and strategic sourcing. Given the capacity constraints inherent in metal fabrication during high-volume build cycles, your ability to anticipate shortages, evaluate supplier capacity commits, and maintain accurate ERP planning parameters will be essential to keeping Crusoe's manufacturing lines running smoothly. This is a Full-Time position.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Be Working On

• MRP Execution & Requirements Netting: Run MRP and BOM explosions for mechanical SKUs against the MPS, netting gross requirements against on-hand, on-order, and in-transit inventory.
• Clear-to-Build (CTB) Coverage: Maintain and refresh CTB coverage status by SKU and work center, accounting for supplier fabrication capacity constraints during peak production periods.
• Proactive Shortage Escalation: Identify potential material shortages ahead of floor execution, escalating to Strategic Sourcing for expedite or dual-source actions while tracking resolutions.
• Supplier Forecast & Commitment Cadence: Share rolling forecasts with mechanical and fabrication suppliers, secure lead-time and capacity commitments, and feed commits back into MRP within negotiated commercial frameworks.
• Planning Parameter Management: Set and maintain item-level ERP planning parameters (order policy, lot sizing, lead times, safety stock, make/buy flags, and time fences) at MBOM release.
• Inventory Accuracy & ABC Classification: Partner with Materials Management to reconcile ERP balances against physical stock, while maintaining ABC usage classification data for mechanical parts.
• S&OP Forum Representation: Represent the mechanical material and CTB constraint view during monthly Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) reconciliations.

Requirements

What You’ll Bring to the Team

• Experience: 2–5+ years of dedicated material planning or MRP experience, ideally with exposure to fabricated metal, enclosures, structural steel, or related mechanical assemblies.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Mechanical Engineering, Business, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• System & Technical Knowledge: Solid working knowledge of MRP logic, complex manufacturing BOM structures, and ERP planning modules (e.g., Acumatica or similar systems).
• Supplier Coordination: Comfort working directly with fabrication suppliers to communicate rolling forecasts and secure firm delivery commitments.
• Data & Analytical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Excel and data management tools to maintain shortage tracking, CTB models, and net-requirement feeds.

Bonus Points

• APICS / ASCM certification, such as CPIM (Certified in Planning and Inventory Management).
• Experience with sheet metal fabrication, modular enclosures, or data center hardware infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience using Acumatica ERP.
