What are the responsibilities and job description for the Assembly Technician position at Giga Energy?
About Giga
At Giga, we develop, build, and operate AI energy infrastructure that powers the modern world. And we’re on a mission to fix the broken energy infrastructure experience — permanently. Our vertically integrated approach stacks site origination and development, infrastructure manufacturing, and power market participation under one operating system. Founded in Texas, Giga partners with AI hyperscalers, data center operators and other energy infrastructure teams to deliver projects faster.
Why Join Us
As an Assembly Technician, you will be hands-on at the heart of our manufacturing operation — bringing complex energy systems to life from raw components to finished assemblies. This is not a role for someone who wants to watch from the sidelines. You will own the quality and craftsmanship of every unit you build, directly impacting the speed at which we bring critical energy infrastructure online.
Where You'll Work
This role will be based in our Houston office. 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.

Giga Energy is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic as outlined by federal, state, or local laws.
