Giga is building gigawatts of AI data centers to hasten a future of intelligence and abundance. We build data centers fast and at scale by combining the capabilities of an equipment supplier, engineering firm, general contractor, and real estate developer under one roof. Our team moves quickly and thinks practically. If you're ready to make an impact in an industry that matters, we're looking for people like you.

- The Team: A team of operators defining the future of AI infrastructure. We recruit A-players from the most innovative companies in the world, and they choose Giga because the work here means more.
- The Moment: AI doesn't run without power, and that's us. Giga is the picks and shovels behind the AI revolution. This industry is about to explode, and you'll be in the room where it's already happening.
The Supplier Industrialization Engineer (SIE) is Giga's manufacturing engineering expert for switchboard production — metal enclosures, busbars, and wiring assembly. You will own how these products get built: developing manufacturing instructions and SOPs, working directly with our Mexico contract manufacturer and Long Beach team to scale production, and solving process problems on the floor. This is a hands-on, high-visibility role at the center of our switchboard manufacturing ramp.
