Quality Engineer

At Gradian, you'll work alongside others who get genuinely fired up by complex problems, see your work go from first sketch to job site in weeks, not years, and know that while we're developing the technologies critical for AI infrastructure to scale, our culture remains people‑first by design.

It is core to our identity that we operate as one team — driving to win together, energizing others, and building lasting relationships that make the work fun and rewarding.

The Quality Engineer is responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining quality systems that ensure products and manufacturing processes meet internal, customer, and regulatory requirements. This role works cross‑functionally with engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, and quality management to drive product reliability, ensure compliance, and support continuous improvement initiatives. The Quality Engineer will also conduct risk management activities, lead investigations, and contribute technical expertise to both new product development and sustaining engineering efforts.
