Mechanical Quality Inspector

Role description

Role Overview

Crusoe is a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company. The Mechanical Quality Inspector is a quality professional responsible for safeguarding product integrity across the entire manufacturing lifecycle—spanning Incoming Quality Control (IQC), In-Process Quality Control (IPQC), and Outgoing Quality Control (OQC). This role supports both Modular Data Center (Spark) and Power Distribution Center (PDC) product lines, executing end-to-end inspections for mechanical and structural systems.

What You Will Do

Perform incoming quality control inspections of raw materials and sub-assemblies. Conduct in-process hold-point inspections during structural fabrication and enclosure assembly. Execute comprehensive pre-shipment inspections on completed modular units. Identify, tag, and document non-conforming items and collaborate on root-cause analyses.

Why It Might Be a Fit

This role requires 5+ years of experience in mechanical quality inspection in a heavy manufacturing or modular integration environment. You should have advanced blueprint reading skills and proficiency with precision measuring tools. The position offers competitive compensation, equity packages, and comprehensive benefits including health insurance, paid parental leave, and a 401(k) retirement plan with company match.

• Competence in analyzing material test reports (MTR) to validate metal alloy grades, sheet metal thickness, and material strength and chemical characteristics
• Competence in visual weld inspection (welding symbols, defect detection like porosity, undercut, penetration) and reviewing Weld Procedure Specifications (WPS)
• Expertise in performing paint/coating dry film thickness (DFT) measurements and verifying proper coating procedures are followed
• Experience inspecting modular enclosure framing, structural lifting points/lugs, door alignment, weather seals/gaskets, and IP/NEMA sealing for outdoor environmental resistance
• Proficiency with MS Office/Google Workspace, digital Quality Management Systems (QMS), and ERP software
• Ability to maneuver around large modular units, work at heights, climb ladders, and inspect confined or hard-to-reach spaces
