The Quality Management function sits at the center of Core Weave’s infrastructure delivery ecosystem, ensuring that products, systems, and supplier outputs meet defined technical, regulatory, and operational standards across a rapidly scaling data center portfolio. This team partners closely with Engineering, Strategic Sourcing, Manufacturing, Construction, and Operations to embed quality into every phase of the asset lifecycle — from design intent through factory build, site installation, and long-term operation.

The role serves as a critical control point for risk reduction, performance consistency, and continuous improvement across high‑value, mission‑critical infrastructure.

• Define and maintain Core Weave’s quality framework across suppliers, manufacturing partners, and field execution.
• Establish quality standards, acceptance criteria, and inspection plans aligned to engineering specifications and operational requirements.
• Own quality governance models, including escalation paths, corrective action processes, and executive reporting.
• Standardize core quality processes: NCR, deviation requests, corrective actions workflows and lessons learned mechanisms.

• Lead supplier quality onboarding, qualification, and ongoing performance management for critical infrastructure vendors.
• Conduct supplier audits, FATs, and manufacturing readiness reviews to ensure conformance prior to shipment.
• Drive supplier corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) with measurable closure and sustained improvement.
• Partner with Strategic Sourcing and Engineering to incorporate quality requirements into RFPs, contracts, and Supplier Quality Agreements and documentation requirements.

• Partner with construction and commissioning teams to ensure equipment arrives complete, compliant, and installation‑ready.
• Own investigation and resolution of field quality issues including defects, non‑conformances, installation deviations and missing documentation.
• Ensure lessons learned from field issues are systematically fed back into supplier requirements and RFPs.

• Define and track quality KPIs such as First Pass Yield, Defect Rate, NCR closure time, and Supplier Quality Scorecards.
• Define and maintain accurate quality records within QMS, ERP, and project systems to enable traceability and audit readiness.
• Apply statistical analysis and root cause methodologies to identify systemic issues and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Build dashboards and operating rhythms to support OKR and metrics (quarterly/yearly quality business reviews).
