The opportunity
Anthropic is building and securing data center capacity at an unprecedented pace, and the power and cooling equipment that goes into those sites — switchgear, UPS, generators, transformers, busway, chillers, CDUs, air handlers, pumps and piping skids — is long-lead, high-value,…
What you'll do
Lead quality qualification of new and existing suppliers of power and cooling: equipment, including on-site process audits, capability assessments, and manufacturing readiness reviews (MRRs) ahead of production release.
Translate Anthropic engineering specifications into supplier-facing quality: requirements: inspection and test plans (ITPs), acceptance criteria, witness/hold points, and documentation deliverables.
Partner with Strategic Sourcing to embed quality requirements, Supplier: Quality Agreements, and FAT/documentation expectations into RFPs and contracts.
Plan, witness, and sign off factory acceptance tests (FATs) for electrical: gear (switchgear, UPS, transformers, gensets, busway, PDUs) and mechanical systems (chillers, CDUs, CRAH/fan walls, dry coolers, pumps, piping skids), including functional, performance, and integrated-system testing.
Conduct in-process and pre-shipment inspections at supplier facilities;: verify build-to-print conformance, workmanship, labeling, and traceability.
Review and approve supplier test reports, quality data packages, and turnover: documentation; ensure equipment ships complete and installation-ready.
What they're looking for
- –10+ years of quality engineering, manufacturing quality, or supplier quality: experience in electrical or mechanical equipment manufacturing, mission-critical infrastructure, or a comparable regulated/high-consequence industry.
- Hands-on experience with at least one side of the data center equipment stack: — medium/low-voltage switchgear, UPS, generators, transformers, busway, or chillers, CDUs, air handlers, pumps — and the curiosity to come up to speed fast on the other.
- Proven record planning and witnessing FATs and conducting supplier audits,: with the judgment to know when to hold a shipment and when to accept with deviation.
- Deep fluency in structured problem-solving and quality tools: 8D, RCA, FMEA, SPC, control plans, PPAP or equivalent.
- Able to read electrical one-lines, P&IDs, and mechanical drawings and check a build against them.
- Strong technical writing: you produce ITPs, audit reports, and NCR packages that stand on their own.
- Comfortable operating with high autonomy and ambiguity, and communicating: clearly to engineers, suppliers, and leadership.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing, or Industrial: Engineering, or equivalent experience.
