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.

• 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

• 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
