Manager, Quality

T1 Energy Inc.
Texas
T1 Energy is bringing solar manufacturing back to the U.S. by building a domestic solar supply chain. Our mission is to invigorate America with scalable, reliable, and low-cost energy. Our fully operational 5GW solar module facility in Wilmer, Texas, can manufacture more than 20,000 modules every 24 hours. By the time you finish reading this paragraph, we will have produced two solar panels that will power American homes and fuel domestic AI. We're focused on building advanced American manufacturing and we're passionate about engineering a better future filled with abundant energy.

The Role

T1 Energy is looking to hire a Quality Manager to build and lead the quality management function at our G2 solar cell fab in Rockdale, Texas. This is a senior leadership role for a seasoned quality professional who has owned quality systems, led audits, and driven continuous improvement in a high-volume manufacturing environment, and who holds the certifications to prove it.

You know IEC and ISO standards inside out. You've built quality programs that actually work, and you've held the line on product integrity even when production pressure was pushing the other way. At T1, you'll do it again, and you'll help build a quality culture from the ground up at G2.

What You'll Do

  • Own the Quality Management System (QMS) for the G2 solar cell fab, ensuring compliance with IEC and ISO standards across all operations.
  • Lead and develop a quality engineering team responsible for in-line inspection, final product release, and non-conformance management.
  • Establish and maintain quality control plans, inspection protocols, and acceptance criteria for all cell fab processes and products.
  • Drive yield improvement and defect reduction through structured quality methodologies including SPC, FMEA, 8D, and root cause analysis.
  • Lead internal and external audits, certification activities, and customer quality reviews.
  • Manage non-conformance, corrective action, and preventive action (CAPA) processes with urgency and rigor.
  • Partner with Process, Equipment, and Production teams to embed quality controls into daily manufacturing operations.
  • Develop and maintain quality reporting, metrics, and dashboards for leadership visibility.
  • Support customer qualification activities and manage quality-related customer communications.
  • Ensure product compliance with applicable IEC standards including IEC 61215 and IEC 61730.

Who You Are

  • A quality leader with deep expertise in IEC and ISO standards as applied to solar or semiconductor manufacturing.
  • Experienced building and running quality management systems in high-volume, high-stakes environments.
  • Rigorous and methodical — you don't accept "we think it's fine" as a quality standard.
  • A confident leader who can hold the line on quality without alienating the operations team.
  • Data-driven, with strong command of statistical quality tools and a track record of using them to drive real improvement.

Qualifications

  • 10+ years of quality management experience in solar, semiconductor, or advanced manufacturing.
  • IEC and/or ISO certification required; expertise in IEC 61215, IEC 61730, and ISO 9001 strongly preferred.
  • Deep experience building and managing QMS programs in a high-volume manufacturing environment.
  • Proficiency in quality methodologies including SPC, FMEA, 8D, and root cause analysis.
  • Experience leading internal and external audits and managing certification processes.
  • Proven ability to lead quality teams and drive cross-functional quality improvement initiatives.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field; advanced degree a plus.

The T1 Way

We move fast, expect accountability, and treat people with respect. We also have a no-jerks policy: we don't tolerate big egos, bad behavior or "that's not my job attitude". Be sharp, be honest, be human. If you can hold the line and have a sense of humor, you'll fit right in.

T1 Energy is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees and applicants and do not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected characteristics.
