Description
Why join Giga
The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
The Impact : Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
The Moment : AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.
What you'll do
Giga Energy builds mission-critical power infrastructure for AI datacenters — switchboards, panelboards, unit substations, and modular data centers delivered to hyperscaler customers across North America. As a Quality Technician, you will be embedded on the manufacturing floor at our Long Beach, CA location, executing the day-to-day inspection and documentation work that keeps our product quality high and our shipments to and from California on spec.
This is a hands-on role. You will follow established inspection plans, perform incoming and outgoing quality inspections, document findings accurately, and flag issues in real time. You will be working closely with the Quality Engineer and directly with production operators on the floor. We want someone who takes ownership, pays attention to the details that matter, and is eager to learn and grow within a quality organization that is being built from the ground up.
Where you'll work
This position is based in our Long Beach, CA location.
