Quality Assurance Quality Control Engineer

Praetorian Power Protection, the leader in NETA testing and staff augmentation to the mission critical industry, is looking for several strong QA/QC Engineers to join our team in Fargo, ND.

As a QA/QC Engineer for Praetorian Power Protection, you will serve as the eyes and ears of the owner within a mission-critical semiconductor environment. You will be responsible for ensuring that all electrical installations—performed by various contractors—meet stringent safety, quality, and design specifications. This is a field heavy role requiring a mix of technical electrical expertise, rigorous documentation, and professional diplomacy.

As a third-party inspector in a semiconductor fabrication plant (fab), your QA/QC Engineer isn't just checking boxes; they are the final line of defense for high-value power infrastructure where a single millisecond of downtime can cost millions.

Below is a tailored job description designed to attract candidates with the technical "electrical" grit and the professional polish required for site representation.

• Site Inspections & Validations: Perform daily walk-throughs of the "Fab" to inspect electrical infrastructure, including switch gear, UPS systems, transformers, and distribution panels.
• Documentation & Checklists: Execute and manage comprehensive QA/QC checklists. Ensure all "As-Built" drawings and specifications accurately reflect site conditions.
• Third-Party Representation: Act as a neutral, professional representative for Praetorian. Interface with electrical contractors to identify deficiencies (Punch Lists) and verify their resolution.
• Testing Oversight: Witness and validate Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT). Coordinate with Commissioning (Cx) teams to ensure seamless handoff.
• Compliance & Standards: Ensure all work complies with NEC, NFPA 70E, and specific semiconductor facility standards (e.g., SEMI guidelines).
• Reporting: Generate detailed daily and weekly quality reports for stakeholders, highlighting risks, delays, or non-conforming work.

• Experience: 3–7 years of experience in Electrical QA/QC, Commissioning (Cx), or as a Project Engineer/Superintendent for a large-scale electrical contractor.
• Technical Background: Strong understanding of high-voltage and low-voltage electrical systems. Ability to read one-line diagrams, schematics, and P&IDs.
• Environment: Prior experience working in a Semiconductor Fab, Data Center, or similar cleanroom/industrial environment is highly preferred.
• Soft Skills: Must be assertive yet professional. You are representing Praetorian’s reputation and must be able to hold contractors accountable to high standards.
• Certifications: Journeyman or Master Electrician license, NETA certification, or an Engineering degree (BSEE) is a significant plus.

• Ability to spend 80-90% of the day on your feet within a construction/manufacturing environment.
• Comfortable wearing PPE and Cleanroom "Bunny Suits" as required by facility protocols.

• Opportunity to work on high-impact projects in a dynamic environment.
• Collaborative and supportive team culture.
• Competitive salary and benefits package.
