About This Role: The Mechanical Quality Inspector is a quality professional responsible for safeguarding product integrity across the entire manufacturing lifecycle—spanning Incoming Quality Control (IQC), In-Process Quality Control (IPQC), and Outgoing Quality Control (OQC). Supporting both Modular Data Center (Spark) and Power Distribution Center (PDC) product lines, this role executes end-to-end inspections for mechanical and structural systems. From validating incoming raw components and structural assemblies, to performing in-process inspections and authorizing final ship release, the Quality Inspector ensures every product meets strict engineering specifications, safety codes, and customer requirements. What You'll Be Working On: * Incoming Quality Control (IQC): Inspect raw materials, structural steel, and sub-assemblies upon arrival against purchase orders, engineering specs, drawings, supplier CoCs (Certificate of Compliance), and supplier OQC reports to prevent non-conforming materials from entering production. * In-Process Quality Control (IPQC): Perform designated hold-point inspections during structural fabrication and enclosure assembly. Ensure alignment and structural fit-up before downstream work continues. * Outgoing Quality Control (OQC): Conduct comprehensive pre-shipment inspections on completed modular units including traceability & genealogy requirements. Verify final mechanical fit-and-finish, cosmetic quality requirements, printing & label accuracy, shipping bracing, weatherproofing, and loose-ship inventories prior to signing the final ship release. * Non-Conformance & Root Cause: Identify, tag, and document non-conforming items (NCRs). Collaborate with Engineering, Production, and Quality Leadership to execute root-cause analyses and prevent defect recurrence (CAPA). * Traceability & Documentation: Maintain complete inspection records—including hold-point sign-offs, torque logs, photo documentation, and shipping checklists—ensuring full unit traceability. * Compliance & Continuous Improvement: Enforce compliance with ISO 9001 standards and applicable product and building code requirements (AISC 360, ASTM, AWS D1.1, IBC). Participate in Lean/5S initiatives to streamline inspection workflows and improve product quality trends. What You’ll Bring to the Team: * Education Level: High School Diploma or GED required; Technical certificate or Associate’s degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial Technology preferred. * Professional Experience: 5+ years of experience in mechanical and/or electrical quality inspection in a heavy manufacturing, panel shop, or modular integration environment (an Associate's degree substitutes for 2 years of experience). * Blueprint & Drawing Reading: Advanced capability to interpret mechanical assembly drawings, structural steel prints, piping/HVAC diagrams, and detailed bill of materials (BOMs). * Technical & Precision Proficiency: Demonstrated experience using precision mechanical measuring tools (calipers, micrometers, protractors, laser levels, feeler gauges, calibrated torque wrenches). * Dimensional Inspection: Expertise in dimensional inspections to verify part geometry, including bend angles and radius, flange lengths and hole locations. * Structural Steel & Bolting: Knowledge of structural steel framing, high-strength bolting requirements (AISC/IBC standards for snug-tight, pretensioned, and slip-critical connections), and calibrated torque wrench application. * Metal Composition Verification: Competence in analyzing material test reports (MTR) to validate metal alloy grades, sheet metal thickness, and material strength and chemical characteristics. * Weld Inspection: Competence in visual weld inspection (welding symbols, defect detection like porosity, undercut, penetration) and reviewing Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS). * Surface Coating Inspection: Expertise in performing paint/coating dry film thickness (DFT) measurements and verifying proper coating procedures are followed. * Enclosure Integrity & Weatherproofing: Experience inspecting modular enclosure framing, structural lifting points/lugs, door alignment, weather seals/gaskets, and IP/NEMA sealing for outdoor environmental resistance. * Digital & ERP Systems: Proficiency with MS Office/Google Workspace, digital Quality Management Systems (QMS), and ERP software. * Physical Capabilities: Ability to maneuver around large modular units, work at heights, climb ladders, and inspect confined or hard-to-reach spaces. * Safety & Compliance: Position is designated as safety-sensitive. Mandatory participation in company safety, drug, and alcohol programs. Bonus Points: * Mechanical / Structural Certifications: ICC Structural Steel and Bolting Special Inspector (S1), AWS Certified Weld Inspector (CWI) or formal non-destructive examination (NDE) training, NACE / AMPP Coating Inspector Certification (Level 1+), ASQ Certified Quality Inspector (CQI), or Lean Six Sigma Yellow or Green Belt. * Direct exposure to industry standards including AISC 360, AWS D1.1, and IBC specifications. * Familiarity with X-ray diffraction and other microscopic analysis techniques for copper parts management. * Experience operating forklifts, overhead cranes, or rigging equipment. * Electrical system knowledge including working knowledge of IEC, NEC, NFPA, IEEE, NEMA, or NETA ATS/MTS testing specifications, and the ability to identify electrical components, hardware, and equipment. Benefits: * Competitive compensation and equity packages * Restricted Stock Units * Paid time off, paid holidays & leave of absence programs * Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance * Employer contributions to HSA account * Paid parental leave * Paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability * Professional development & tuition reimbursement * Mental health & wellness support * Commuter benefits (parking & transit) * Cell phone stipend * 401(k) Retirement plan with company match up to 4% of salary * Volunteer time off * Global travel insurance & emergency assistance * Daily meals allowance * Additional perks & programs specific to location Compensation: Compensation will be paid in the range of $29.00 - $33.00 / HR + Bonus. Restricted Stock Units are included in all offers.
