Job Brief

As the Director of Quality, you will play a critical role in building and growing Twelve’s quality program. We are looking for you to develop and implement quality programs, continuous improvement initiatives, and establish a quality control and quality assurance organization to support our CO2 electrolyzer development and manufacturing. As a leader of the quality team, you will work cross-functionally with supply chain, materials scientists, process engineers, manufacturing operations, hardware and software engineering teams to champion quality across Twelve.

This is an on-site role primarily in Alameda, California, with split time in Berkeley.

What you will do:

• Develop, implement, and sustain a comprehensive quality assurance and quality control program (QMS) for Twelve’s technology development. This program is expected to include:
• Institute a quality preventative workflow that includes failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA).
• Establish a control system and the controlling documentation that include IQC methods, management of change (MOC), and engineer change order (ECO).
• Create and implement a quality detection process that includes non-conforming reporting (NCR), root cause analysis (RCA), statistical process control (SPC), material review board (MRB), and corrective and preventive action (CAPA).
• Manage and continue building a functional team of quality control assurance and control technicians, supervisors, and engineers.
• Build reliability and drive operational efficiency by developing and tracking performance metrics, such as monitoring quality of process, inputs, and outputs to improve product yield, throughput, cost, and manufacturability.
• Be the voice of quality at Twelve by advocating the integration of quality measures at all steps of the development process.
