About Giga

Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.

Why join Giga

The Pace: We're building at a speed most companies talk about but never actually operate at. If you've been bored somewhere else, you won't be here.
The Impact: Every person at Giga touches the work that matters. No layers, no waiting for approval chains. You'll see your fingerprints on what we ship.
The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.

What you'll do

As the Manufacturing Engineer, Switchboards, you will own production process control, shop floor efficiency, and facility reliability for switchboard and control panel assembly operations. The position bridges production, engineering, quality, and facilities to ensure on-time delivery, cost control, and consistent product quality across UL891 switchboards, UL67 panel boards, and various control wiring projects. Emphasis is placed on practical execution, on time delivery, continuous improvement, and hands-on problem solving in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Where you'll work

We are an in-office culture, velocity matters when you’re building physical infrastructure, and the best decisions happen in the room. This role is based at GigaEnergy HQ with regular travel to active construction sites across the US.

That said, we will make exceptions for truly exceptional talent. If you’re the right person for this role, we’ll have a conversation about what works.

Responsibilities

Ensure safe work practices for all assembly and wiring processes and compliance with applicable safety standards (OSHA, NFPA 70E, IEEE, etc.)
Create, maintain, and continuously improve all production routings for switchboard and panelbaords, ensuring alignment with actual shop floor practices and labor efficiency
Establish and enforce standardized work at the direct labor level to drive consistency, reduce variability, wiring, and final assembly
Design and implement fixtures, jigs, and tooling improvements to reduce cycle time, improve safety, and lower operational cost in panel and switchboard assembly
Lead root cause investigations with Quality control and implement corrective actions to eliminate recurring production defects, including wiring errors, torque failures, and fit/finish issues
Support materials management, production control, and inventory control activities as needed, including cycle counting, part flow organization, and visual management systems for components (breakers, bus bar, connectors, enclosures, etc.)
Work directly with Engineering to resolve production issues in real time and remove constraints impacting on-time delivery (OTD)
Support UL891 and UL67 production compliance requirements, ensuring assemblies are built in accordance with listed procedures, UL follow-up service requirements, and applicable NEC/NFPA standards
Drive continuous improvement initiatives across production, material flow, and facility operations

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or 3-5+ years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, production operations, or industrial environments (switchgear, switchboard, or electrical panel experience strongly preferred)
Demonstrated experience improving shop floor processes, labor efficiency, or production output in an electrical equipment assembly environment
Proven cost savings results based on project and process improvements
Proven ability to create or refine routings, work instructions, or process documentation based on real production conditions
Experience leading or supporting root cause analysis and implementing corrective actions
Familiarity with fixtures, jigs, or practical tooling improvements relevant to panel and switchboard fabrication
Working knowledge of equipment maintenance, preventative maintenance programs, or facility operations
Strong cross-functional coordination with production, quality, and engineering teams
Comfortable operating in a hands-on role that blends engineering thinking with shop floor execution. Must be mechanically inclined.

Bonus points

Experience with UL891 switchboard, control panels, and UL67 panelboard manufacturing processes (bus bar fabrication, power wiring, control wiring, hi-pot/dielectric testing, final QC, etc.)
Familiarity with UL listing and labeling requirements, follow-up service inspection procedures, and maintaining production compliance within a UL-certified facility
Familiarity with ERP/MRP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, Dynamics365, Odoo)
Understanding of lean manufacturing principles and visual management systems; Green Belt or Black Belt as a plus
Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70, and NFPA 70E as they relate to switchboard and panel construction
