What is a quality professional?

Quality Professionals are individuals responsible for ensuring that products, services, or processes meet established standards of quality, safety, and compliance. They work in a variety of industries to develop and implement quality management systems, conduct audits, analyze data, and drive continuous improvement. Their goal is to minimize defects, enhance customer satisfaction, and ensure regulatory compliance. Quality Professionals may hold certifications such as Six Sigma, ISO, or ASQ credentials and often collaborate with cross-functional teams to achieve organizational quality objectives.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a quality professional?

To thrive as a Quality Professional, you need a solid understanding of quality management systems, process improvement methodologies, and industry-specific regulations, often supported by a degree in engineering, science, or a related field. Familiarity with tools like Six Sigma, ISO 9001 standards, statistical analysis software, and quality auditing certifications (such as CQE or CQA) is typically required. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help drive continuous improvement and foster collaboration. These abilities are vital for ensuring product or service excellence, regulatory compliance, and the overall efficiency of organizational processes.

What are some typical challenges a quality professional faces when implementing new quality standards across departments?

Quality Professionals often encounter resistance to change when introducing new quality standards, as team members may be accustomed to existing processes. Effective communication and training are essential to gain buy-in and ensure consistent adoption. Additionally, aligning diverse departmental goals and workflows with overarching quality objectives can be complex, requiring strong collaboration and problem-solving skills. Success in this area often involves continuous monitoring, feedback, and adaptation to evolving business needs.

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
