Quality Assurance Manager

ThermalWorks LLC is seeking an experienced, hands-on Quality Assurance Manager to be stationed full-time on the production floor at our manufacturing facility. This is not a desk-based quality systems role. The successful candidate will personally inspect work in process, identify workmanship that does not meet ThermalWorks specifications or industry standards, and have the authority and technical credibility to stop, hold, and require rework of nonconforming product before it advances. Deep experience in chiller or industrial refrigeration manufacturing is essential, along with working fluency across mechanical, electrical, and control systems and the standards that govern them.

Key Responsibilities

• Resident floor presence: Maintain a daily, full-time presence on the production floor across all build stages – fabrication, brazing/welding, refrigerant circuit assembly, electrical panel build, controls integration, and final test.
• Workmanship inspection: Identify and document improper or nonconforming work in real time, including braze and weld quality, piping fit-up, leak testing, evacuation and refrigerant charging procedures, torque and fastener practices, wire routing and terminations, and labeling.
