Giga builds the electrical infrastructure that powers the modern world. We manufacture transformers, switchboards, and modular data centers for customers across the United States and the globe. Together, our team combines fresh perspectives with deep industry experience to solve real-world problems for our customers. We move fast and think practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you. Why Join Us Giga was founded by two Texas A&M grads who started welding modular data centers in East Texas in 2019. Frustrated by the broken infrastructure industry—forced to choose between speed, quality, or fair pricing—they built something different: the only vertically integrated energy infrastructure company that controls site development, manufacturing, and power markets under one roof. The results: 140 employees across 5 global offices. We've delivered 3.5 GW of equipment (1000+ transformers, 200+ switchboards, 735+ data centers) and have 400+ MW in our pipeline. We're disrupting a $100B+ market, and our exit strategy is crystal clear: Maximum Valuation and an IPO. Join us to help ring the bell on Wall Street. What you'll do Quality is our competitive advantage. As we scale from 3.5 GW delivered to exponential growth across transformers, switchboards, and modular data centers, we need a quality leader who can ensure excellence at contract manufacturer scale. As Head of Quality, you'll build and lead our quality organization from the ground up. You'll manage quality across multiple contract manufacturers in China and Mexico, implement robust quality management systems for diverse product lines, and establish the processes that protect our reputation as we scale toward IPO. This is a greenfield opportunity to define quality standards, build teams overseas, and establish the quality infrastructure that supports our path to public markets. You'll report directly to executive leadership and have the autonomy to build what's needed. Where you'll work Remote. Travel requirement: Up to 50% travel to contract manufacturing sites in China and Mexico, with additional trips to our hub offices as needed. You'll be on the ground with manufacturers, building relationships and solving quality issues in real-time.
