Giga Energy • Houston, TX

8h • Remote

About The Position

Giga is the only vertically integrated energy infrastructure company controlling site development, manufacturing, and power markets under one roof — and we need someone who can own our entire UL certification program end-to-end. As Manager of UL Certification & Compliance, you'll be the company's single point of ownership for the UL relationship across all product lines: oil-filled transformers, low-voltage switchgear, medium-voltage dry type transformers, medium-voltage switchgear, modular data centers, chillers, and what comes next. You'll build the internal processes and playbooks that let Giga scale its product portfolio without compliance becoming a bottleneck. This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role that sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and operations — and directly supports our path to IPO.

Requirements

• 7+ years of direct, hands-on experience managing UL certification cases, factory inspections, follow-up services, and the UL listing process
• Deep familiarity with UL standards relevant to electrical infrastructure, including UL 1562, UL 891, and UL 1558
• Demonstrated track record of successfully leading new products through the UL certification process from initial application through final listing
• Existing professional relationships with UL representatives and working knowledge of how the organization operates internally
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent certification efforts across different product categories
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related technical field

Nice To Haves

• Experience with other third-party certification bodies such as CSA, ETL/Intertek, or IEC
• Familiarity with medium-voltage and modular/prefabricated equipment standards
• Background in datacenter infrastructure, HVAC/chiller systems, or modular power equipment
• Experience in manufacturing or quality assurance environments

Responsibilities

• Serve as the company-wide owner of the UL relationship, acting as the primary liaison between Giga Energy and UL across all product lines and business units
• Maintain existing UL certifications for oil-filled transformers and low-voltage switchgear, ensuring continued compliance, timely renewals, and smooth audit processes
• Lead the end-to-end certification process for new product lines — scoping applicable standards, opening cases, preparing documentation, coordinating testing, managing timelines, and driving projects through to listing
• Develop and maintain internal processes and playbooks for UL certification so the company can scale its product portfolio without bottlenecks
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and operations to ensure designs meet UL requirements early in the development cycle, not after the fact
• Track and communicate changes to UL standards, policies, and procedures that may affect current or planned certifications
• Manage UL-related budgets, timelines, and reporting to leadership
