Job Title: Quality Engineer

Location: Mesquite, TX (On-site)

Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Role

We are looking for a detail-oriented quality professional to join our solar module manufacturing Quality team in Mesquite, TX. This role has two core parts: (1) reviewing the quality and technical portions of contracts from the factory perspective, and (2) coordinating product certification work with certification bodies and test labs from application to final certificate .

If you are the person who reads the fine print, notices when a requirement doesn’t match what the factory can deliver and keeps following up until an open item is closed, this role is for you. You will work closely with the Certification & Quality lead and with sales, legal, engineering, and production teams.

• Identify tricky, ambiguous, or high-risk language, such as requirements beyond the standard specifications, unclear acceptance or rejection criteria, extra testing or inspection obligations, factory audit and third-party inspection rights, and certification requirements
• Compare customer requirements against product datasheets, standard specifications, existing certifications, and factory capabilities, and identify any gaps
• Record each finding in a structured review log for the manager’s review and decision
• Track open contract items through the negotiation, keep versions organized, and confirm that agreed changes appear in the final contract
• Gather input from other departments when a contract requirement needs a technical answer

Certification Coordination

• Act as the day-to-day contact with certification bodies and test labs for product certification projects
• Prepare and submit application packages, documentation, and technical submittals
• Follow up regularly on project status, open questions, and outstanding items, and escalate delays as needed
• Maintain the certification tracking log
• Request and compare quotes from labs and service providers, and support lab selection
• Organize certification records and provide certificates and supporting documents for audits and customer requests

Qualifications

• 2+ years of experience in quality, supplier or customer quality, contract administration, compliance, or product certification, preferably in a manufacturing environment
• Experience reviewing technical or commercial documents
• Comfortable reading dense contract and technical language and summarizing the key issues clearly and concisely
• Self-directed, able to work independently, manage multiple projects with external parties, and drive open items to closure with minimal supervision
• High attention to detail and well-organized record keeping
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
• Proficiency in Excel and Word; experience maintaining trackers or logs
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, a technical field, or business

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with contract review or customer requirements review in a quality role
