Summary
Field-heavy QA/QC role acting as the owner's third-party inspector in a semiconductor fab: daily inspections of electrical infrastructure (switchgear, UPS, transformers, panels), QA/QC documentation, FAT/SAT test oversight, and compliance with NEC, NFPA 70E, and SEMI standards. Part of a NETA testing and staff augmentation team.
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.
