What you'll do

The Quality Engineer will be the onsite quality owner at one of CoreWeave's largest, multi‑building GPU compute clusters, driving quality outcomes across the lifecycle of data center infrastructure—supporting quality gates in construction and provisioning, enforcing readiness criteria during commissioning / turn‑ups, and sustaining high performance and reliability during operations.

About the role :

You'll partner closely with Data Center Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, and Inventory teams to standardize procedures, prevent recurrence of failures, and continuously reduce COPQ and operational risk.

The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of data center operations, quality management principles, and industry standards and will be responsible for the following.

• Own the site quality program across phases : establish / maintain quality controls for early provisioning and construction activities; define commissioning / acceptance criteria; and sustain ongoing quality checks during operations and maintenance.
• Run the MRB at the site : collaborate with Inventory Control and DC Ops teams to identify and quarantine nonconforming material, execute the local MRB process, and drive end‑to‑end RMA creation. Coordinate with the MRB global team for vendor coordination, returns tracking, and closure; minimize MRB aging and optimize RMA turnaround time.
• Lead incoming inspections : design sampling plans / AQL where appropriate; inspect and disposition inbound servers, components, racks, and critical spares; document findings and trigger to the SQE team for supplier engagement when trends exceed thresholds.
• Drive corrective and preventive actions : facilitate structured problem solving (8D), complete robust root cause analysis, implement verified CAPA, and track effectiveness to closure with clear containment, correction, and prevention.
• Perform audits and checks : plan and execute routine internal audits (process compliance, EHS-adjacent quality checks, procedure adherence), post‑maintenance quality verifications, and layered process audits; support customer / partner or supplier audit activities onsite.
• Standardize documentation and training : localize and enforce document control for SOPs / work instructions / checklists ; ensure training completion and qualification for critical procedures; maintain revision discipline and change control.
• Instrument data collection and reporting : own daily, weekly, and monthly site quality metrics (e.g., FPY for turn‑ups, Pareto of failure modes, MRB inventory and aging, RMA TAT, repeat / escape rates, audit findings, CAPA status); publish dashboards and run recurring reviews with site leadership.
• Partner cross‑functionally : act as the quality interface to DC Ops, Fleet / Hardware Engineering, Supplier Quality, Inventory, Customer Experience, and Program Management; escalate systemic risks and align on standard work.
• Continuous Improvement : identify waste and variation; simplify inspections and verification steps; automate data capture where feasible; propose design-for-quality feedback to engineering and suppliers.
