Based in our Phoenix, AZ headquarters and traveling approximately 40-50% of the time to our vendor locations (primarily in North America) your main focus will be the implementation and flawless execution of a new quality management and reporting infrastructure for our suppliers and their adherence to our exacting specifications and high quality standards (Right First Time (RFT) and Zero Defects (ZD)). Your previous experience building a quality management system from scratch involving casting, machining, metal fabrication, glass-to-metal and adhesion drives and controls for the automotive or assembly engine industry will be critical to your success.

This is a green field opportunity to design the quality processes and procedures to govern our partners (both new and existing) and establish our quality ethic through out the organization and supply chain. In exchange for your quality management prowess you will be rewarded with challenging and high-impact projects that will pioneer new generations of sustainable energy systems and help reduce humanity’s carbon footprint.
