## Job description

## About Giga

Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.

## 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

The Supplier Industrialization Engineer (SIE) is Giga's manufacturing engineering expert for switchboard production — metal enclosures, busbars, and wiring assembly. You will own how these products get built: developing manufacturing instructions and SOPs, working directly with our Mexico contract manufacturer and Long Beach team to scale production, and solving process problems on the floor. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role at the center of our switchboard manufacturing ramp.

## Responsibilities

- Own manufacturing engineering for metal enclosure fabrication, busbar processing (cutting, bending, plating), and wiring/harness assembly
- Write and maintain manufacturing instructions, work instructions, and SOPs for switchboard build processes
- Lead process setup and first article inspection (FAI) for new products and engineering changes
- Conduct DFM/DFA reviews with engineering; translate design intent into manufacturable specs and supplier work instructions
- Qualify tooling, fixtures, and test equipment at the Mexico CM and Long Beach facility
- Support production ramp at the Mexico CM and Long Beach line — identify bottlenecks and drive throughput, yield, and cycle-time improvements
- Conduct process audits at the Mexico CM and LA-area suppliers against Giga's quality and process standards
- Track process capability (Cpk/Ppk) for critical dimensions on enclosures and busbars; define and enforce control plans
- Issue and manage SCARs; drive 8D root cause and CAPA to closure
- Partner with engineering on drawing and specification reviews; flag manufacturability and quality risks early
- Define incoming inspection criteria and AQL sampling plans for enclosure, busbar, and wiring components
- Work with the quality team to integrate supplier and process data into the NCR/CAPA system

## Requirements

- 5+ years in manufacturing engineering or supplier industrialization, ideally with metal enclosures, busbars, or electrical panel/switchboard assembly
- Hands-on experience writing manufacturing instructions, SOPs, and work instructions for a production floor
- Familiarity with sheet metal fabrication, busbar processing, and wire harness/assembly processes
- Working knowledge of APQP, PPAP, FAI, SCAR, 8D/CAPA, and AQL sampling (ANSI/ASQ Z1.4)
- Comfortable working directly with a contract manufacturer in Mexico; willingness to travel regularly
- Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, mechanical drawings (GD&T), and BOMs
- Strong written and verbal communication; Spanish language skills a plus

## Benefits

- Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
- Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
- 401(k) with 4% employer match
- Unlimited PTO
- Parental leave
- Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
- Commuter benefits
- Monthly team onsites where all offices come in–person to collaborate

## How We Work

We value people who take ownership, raise risks early, communicate directly, and follow through. Incomplete information is part of the job. Make the best decision you can, document it, and adjust as the facts change. Move quickly on reversible decisions and take more care when security, safety, financial, employee, or customer risk is involved.

## Benefits

- Subsidized health, dental, and vision insurance
- Equity (options) in a rapidly growing startup
- 401(k) with 4% employer match
- Unlimited PTO
- Parental leave
- Healthcare and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA)
- Commuter benefits, where applicable
- Opportunities to collaborate in person at periodic team and company on-sites
