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 seeking a detail-oriented IPQA Tech 1 to join our Module Quality Assurance team. In this role, you will be stationed directly on the advanced manufacturing floor, serving as a critical line of defense ensuring that all photovoltaic products meet our rigorous internal and international quality standards. You will monitor in-process production steps, identify component defects, and execute real-time audits within our high-volume, automated facility. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, possesses a keen eye for technical irregularities, and is eager to support continuous improvement workflows alongside our production and engineering teams.

Who You Are

  • In-Process Inspection: Conduct rigorous, scheduled quality checks at key manufacturing milestones (e.g., cell stringing, lamination, framing, and final packaging) to ensure compliance with strict engineering specifications.
  • Defect Identification & Isolation: Actively identify, document, and report raw material anomalies, cosmetic defects, or structural variations on the line; immediately initiate containment protocols for non-conforming materials.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with production operators, shift supervisors, and equipment technicians to quickly address deviations from standard operating procedures (SOPs).
  • Data Logging & Traceability: Maintain flawless, real-time records of all quality audits, inspections, and measurements within our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and localized tracking software.
  • Audit & Procedure Support: Assist Quality Engineers in executing internal product and process audits, and contribute feedback toward the development and optimization of standard quality control procedures.
  • Safety & Cleanliness: Adhere strictly to cleanroom, PPE, and manufacturing safety protocols to ensure a safe, organized, and compliant testing environment.

Qualifications

  • Education: High school diploma or equivalent required. Associate degree in a technical or scientific discipline preferred.
  • Experience: 1+ years of experience in a quality control, assurance, or inspection role within a fast-paced manufacturing environment (advanced electronics, semiconductor, automotive, or photovoltaic experience highly preferred).
  • Technical Aptitude: Strong attention to detail with the ability to read technical specifications, use basic measurement tools, and identify subtle component defects.
  • Systems & Software: Experience utilizing manufacturing software (such as SAP, MES platforms, or localized ERP systems) and basic Microsoft Office apps (Word, Excel) to log data.
  • Quality Standards: Familiarity with precision manufacturing quality standards (such as ISO 9001) is a strong plus.
  • Core Attributes: Strong verbal and written communication skills to report technical failures accurately under pressure; ability to adapt to tight manufacturing deadlines.

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.
