Giga is the only vertically integrated energy infrastructure company controlling site development, manufacturing, and power markets under one roof — and we need someone who can own our entire UL certification program end-to-end. As Manager of UL Certification & Compliance, you'll be the company's single point of ownership for the UL relationship across all product lines: oil-filled transformers, low-voltage switchgear, medium-voltage dry type transformers, medium-voltage switchgear, modular data centers, chillers, and what comes next. You'll build the internal processes and playbooks that let Giga scale its product portfolio without compliance becoming a bottleneck. This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role that sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and operations — and directly supports our path to IPO.
Where you’ll workThis role will be based remotely from your home offices with occasional travel to our manufacturing facilities in Houston and Long Beach.
