Full-Time
About the Role
We are looking for a detail-oriented quality professional to join our solar module manufacturing Quality team in Mesquite, TX. This role has two core parts:
(1) reviewing the quality and technical portions of contracts from the factory perspective, and (2) coordinating product certification work with certification bodies and test labs from application to final certificate

If you are the person who reads the fine print, notices when a requirement doesn’t match what the factory can deliver and keeps following up until an open item is closed, this role is for you. You will work closely with the Certification & Quality lead and with sales, legal, engineering, and production teams.

Qualifications
2 years of experience in quality, supplier or customer quality, contract administration, compliance, or product certification, preferably in a manufacturing environment
Experience reviewing technical or commercial documents
Comfortable reading dense contract and technical language and summarizing the key issues clearly and concisely
Self-directed, able to work independently, manage multiple projects with external parties, and drive open items to closure with minimal supervision
High attention to detail and well-organized record keeping

Proficiency in Excel and Word; experience maintaining trackers or logs
Bachelor’s degree in engineering, a technical field, or business
