Job description

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 our QC / Shipping & Receiving 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. In a company moving this fast, your attention to detail and sense of urgency are what keep us on schedule.

Where You'll Work

This role will be based in our Houston MV Facility. You must be willing to work in the office full-time.

We're onsite because velocity matters when you're building physical infrastructure. Solving complex problems in real-time with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Finance leaders is how we move faster than a slow, antiquated industry.
