What to Expect

Quantum America is on a bold mission: to save the American Dream of home ownership by delivering a new category of precision‑built, energy‑efficient, resilient, and attainable homes—all manufactured with advanced building science and deployed across Texas at scale.

We are redefining how homes are designed, produced, delivered, powered, insured, and maintained. Achieving this mission requires a Texas‑focused supply chain capable of supporting rapid expansion, flawless execution, and high‑volume manufacturing. That’s where you come in.

• Identify, evaluate, and onboard new suppliers aligned with Quantum America’s accelerated growth and rapid‑deployment demands.
• Structure and negotiate Master Service Agreements (MSAs) and project‑specific contracts to ensure supply continuity and cost stability.
• Manage efficient RFx processes (RFI/RFP/RFQ) to secure competitive pricing, evaluate proposals, and award contracts on schedule.
• Provide clear recommendations to leadership and support executive decision‑making with data‑driven analysis.
