What you’ll do

As our Quality Technician, you will be the critical link between our supply chain, manufacturing floor, and the customers we serve. You will own the accuracy and quality of everything moving in and out of our facility — from inspecting incoming components against tight tolerances to ensuring finished energy systems ship on time, fully documented, and built to spec.
