Crusoe Brings AI Manufacturing and 100 Jobs to Tulsa

Published: June 18, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team

Tulsa, OK — The AI boom is building hardware in Tulsa. Crusoe, an AI-infrastructure company, is opening a manufacturing facility on the city's southeast side to build critical data-center equipment, and it plans to hire around 100 people to run it.

Manufacturing, engineering, warehouse, and technical training roles, with plans to grow beyond the first hundred hires.

What Crusoe is building

Crusoe is investing roughly $10 million into a Tulsa plant at 5404 S. 122nd E. Ave., a space of about 120,000 square feet. The facility will manufacture key pieces of data-center infrastructure, including switchgear, the electrical backbone that keeps AI data centers powered. As demand for AI computing grows, so does demand for the hardware behind it.

The jobs and the timeline

The company has aimed to hire about 100 workers, with plans to expand toward a couple hundred as equipment is installed and staff are trained. Roles include manufacturing engineering, warehouse specialists, and technical training positions. Crusoe specifically chose Tulsa for its ability to hire quickly across engineering, manufacturing, and safety, disciplines the city already has in depth.

Why this matters for Tulsa workers

This is a fresh lane in Tulsa's economy: advanced manufacturing tied to the AI and energy boom. It is the kind of employer that hires skilled trades and technicians now and grows over time, which means early hires can build careers as the operation scales. For workers in manufacturing, electrical, and warehouse roles, it is worth a close look.

What it means for job seekers

Look for roles in categories like:

How to apply

For manufacturing and warehouse roles, lead with reliability, any equipment or electrical experience, and a willingness to train. For engineering and technical roles, highlight relevant systems and hands-on experience. Because the plant is staffing up from the ground, applying early puts you in the room as the team takes shape.
