Job description

Praetorian Power Protection, the leader in NETA testing and staff augmentation to the mission critical industry, is looking for several strong QA/QC Engineers to join our team in Fargo, ND.

As a QA/QC Engineer for Praetorian Power Protection, you will serve as the eyes and ears of the owner within a mission-critical semiconductor environment. You will be responsible for ensuring that all electrical installations—performed by various contractors—meet stringent safety, quality, and design specifications. This is a field heavy role requiring a mix of technical electrical expertise, rigorous documentation, and professional diplomacy.

As a third-party inspector in a semiconductor fabrication plant (fab), your QA/QC Engineer isn't just checking boxes; they are the final line of defense for high-value power infrastructure where a single millisecond of downtime can cost millions.

• Third-Party Representation: Act as a neutral, professional representative for Praetorian. Interface with electrical contractors to identify deficiencies (Punch Lists) and verify their resolution.
• Testing Oversight: Witness and validate Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT). Coordinate with Commissioning (Cx) teams to ensure seamless handoff.
• Compliance & Standards: Ensure all work complies with NEC, NFPA 70E, and specific semiconductor facility standards (e.g., SEMI guidelines).
• Reporting: Generate detailed daily and weekly quality reports for stakeholders, highlighting risks, delays, or non-conforming work.
