Director of Quality

Torus is headquartered in Utah and is expanding manufacturing at our 545,000-square-foot facility in Salt Lake City called Giga One.
Our mission is to build the world’s first mesh energy infrastructure — built to unite people and communities through resilient, secure, and intelligent power. We design, engineer, manufacture, install, and support our systems end-to-end, standing behind them throughout their lifecycle. Torus systems help reduce costs, lower emissions, and protect facilities from outages, while strengthening the security and reliability of the broader utility grid.

Torus is committed to American manufacturing, engineering excellence, and building energy systems that last.

Torus has raised over $267 million from investors like Magnetar, Mercado, ICONIQ and Origin Ventures. The investments are helping to accelerate deployment of modular power plants across utilities, data centers, and industrial sectors. This investor confidence reflects the strength of our team, technology as well as the scale of the problem we are solving.

At Torus, you will be part of something larger than a single product or technology. Your work will help build energy infrastructure that supports and strengthens our electrical grid, critical systems, industry, and communities for decades to come. We value accountability, collaboration, and clear thinking. We are looking for people who want to solve hard problems and build things that matter.

We are looking for a Director of Quality to build and lead a lean, high-leverage quality organization across two pillars:
Quality Systems and Quality Assurance.

This role operates on a clear ownership model. Quality performance is owned by the teams responsible for the work — Supply Chain owns suppliers delivering products that meet our specifications, and Manufacturing owns producing products to our specifications. The quality organization is not a substitute for that ownership. Instead, it establishes the system that defines our policies and procedures — “say what you do, do what you say” — in alignment with applicable regulatory requirements, verifies adherence to that system, and provides the structure and rigor that hold our technical performance to standard.

The ideal candidate is comfortable leading a small team, building the framework that lets others own quality well, and driving systemic improvement through data and disciplined problem-solving rather than headcount.

• An Architect of Accountability:
  You value extreme accountability. You understand that quality is about building the systems, frameworks, and visibility that empower Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and Engineering to successfully own their technical performance.
• A Clear and Collaborative Communicator:
  You are a transparent, data-driven communicator who values clear thinking over bureaucracy. You seek context before making assumptions, giving prompt and actionable feedback across all cross-functional lines to keep teams aligned.
• A Disciplined Problem-Solver:
  You approach complex technical challenges with cautious optimism. You rely on structured root cause analysis, statistical methods, and collective team input to eliminate waste and drive systemic, continuous improvement.
• Comfortable with Ambiguity and Scale:
  You thrive in a scaling startup environment where processes are actively being built and refined. You lean into ambiguity with a practical, problem-solving mindset, focusing on high-leverage solutions rather than growing headcount.
• Quality-Minded:
  You understand that your work directly powers sustainable energy infrastructure designed to support real communities for decades. For you, precision and product reliability are non-negotiable.

• Establish, document, and maintain the Quality Management System (QMS) that defines company policies and procedures and how work is performed across the organization.
• Ensure the QMS aligns with applicable regulatory, safety, and industry standards relevant to energy storage manufacturing (e.g., ISO 9001, and product/safety standards such as UL 9540 / 9540A, UL 1973, IEC 62619, UN 38.3, IEEE 1547, and NEC requirements,…
