What are the responsibilities and job description for the Motion and Animation Design Intern position at Crusoe?
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 The Role
We're building AI infrastructure from the ground up – energy, data centers, manufacturing, and cloud. Fully integrated, from electrons to tokens. Our in-house creative team tells that story and motion is central to how we do it.
We're looking for a Motion & Animation Design Intern to join us for a hands-on, project-based internship. You'll be embedded with our design team working on real projects across brand, marketing, and product. Not prep work. Real work.
You'll contribute to motion and animation projects across social, marketing campaigns, brand, and product experiences. You'll animate in Figma and Adobe workflows, collaborate with designers and writers in creative reviews, and help maintain consistency across our motion system. If you have ideas, bring them. We celebrate when we find a better way.
What You’ll Learn
We're united by a mission that matters – accelerating the abundance of energy and intelligence. We hold ourselves to high standards, push each other to do the best work of our careers, and never settle for good enough. Autonomy isn't a perk here, it's how we operate.
As an intern, you'll ship real work, grow alongside experienced designers, and have a genuine shot at shaping how motion shows up across a company that's building something important.
The learning opportunities are real. The impact is yours to make.

Employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, citizenship, marital status, sex/gender, sexual preference/ orientation, gender identity, age, veteran status, national origin, or any other status protected by law or regulation.
