QA/QC Manager - Modular Fabrication Programs
About the role
AGI Advanced Giga Inc. designs, fabricates, and deploys modular data center infrastructure for hyperscale operators. Our flagship products—MDH (Modular Data Hall), MTCS (Modular Technology Cooling System), and MES (Modular Energy Server)—are factory-built, tested, and commissioned before they leave our facility. We are an engineering-led manufacturer that owns the full lifecycle: design, fabrication, controls integration, factory acceptance testing, delivery, and on-site commissioning. Our clients include the largest cloud infrastructure providers in the world.
We are a small, high-impact team where your decisions directly shape outcomes on programs worth tens of millions of dollars. If you have spent your career inside large organizations and are looking for a place where your experience actually gets used—not diluted across layers of bureaucracy—this is it.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain the project Quality Management Plan covering fabrication, assembly, testing, and documentation requirements.
- Define inspection and test plans (ITPs) for all fabrication disciplines—structural, mechanical piping, electrical, and controls.
- Conduct regular audits of fabrication quality—verify QC holds, weld inspections, dimensional checks, and documentation are meeting AGI standards.
- Manage the Non-Conformance Report (NCR) process—identify, document, disposition, and track resolution of quality issues.
- Coordinate third-party inspections (NDE, hydrostatic testing, electrical testing) and manage inspection scheduling to avoid production delays.
- Review and approve material test reports (MTRs), weld procedure qualifications (WPQs), and welder certifications.
- Maintain the quality documentation package for each module—inspection records, test results, NCRs, as-built markups—that will be delivered to the client.
- Participate in FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing) as the quality representative, verifying all punch list items are resolved before shipment authorization.
- Establish quality metrics and reporting—track NCR rates, rework rates, first-pass inspection rates, and report trends to leadership.
- Support commissioning and SAT (Site Acceptance Testing) with quality documentation and resolution of any quality-related punch list items.
Requirements
- 15+ years of QA/QC experience in industrial fabrication, piping construction, MEP systems, or modular manufacturing.
- AWS CWI (Certified Welding Inspector) or equivalent welding inspection certification.
- Experience managing a QA program in an oversight capacity—auditing a fabrication partner or subcontractor, not just performing direct QC inspection.
- Strong knowledge of welding inspection (AWS D1.1, ASME B31.3 as applicable), NDE methods, and hydrostatic testing requirements.
- Experience developing Inspection and Test Plans (ITPs), Quality Management Plans, and NCR tracking systems.
- Ability to read and interpret mechanical, structural, and electrical drawings, P&IDs, and specifications.
- Familiarity with client-driven quality requirements in mission-critical or regulated environments.
- Strong documentation skills—the quality record package for each module is a deliverable to the client.
- Comfortable working embedded at a fabrication partner facility while representing AGI’s quality standards independently.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in data center, pharmaceutical, or semiconductor fabrication quality management.
- ISO 9001 internal auditor training or certification.
- Experience with digital quality management systems (CxAlloy or similar).
- Bilingual English/Spanish (our fabrication partner team operates primarily in Spanish).
- ASME, API, or NBBI inspection certifications.
Pay
- Base salary: $160,000 – $200,000
- Performance bonus tied to program delivery milestones
