Supplier Quality Engineer

<div><p><span style="font-weight:400;">At Antora, we’re on a mission to stop climate change. And we can’t do that unless we tackle the 30% of global emissions that come from industry.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">Antora is unlocking zero-emissions industrial energy, cheaper than fossil fuels. Antora’s thermal batteries store energy from renewables as heat for days on end, delivering that stored energy as heat and power at the scale and temperatures that large industrial operations demand. We’re on a path to eliminate gigatons of emissions while strengthening domestic manufacturing, curbing industrial air pollution, and enhancing America’s clean energy leadership.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400;">We are growing our company with people who put team and mission first, value connection through laughter and joy, and build with humility and openness. We are committed to continue building a diverse, passionate, and creative team dedicated to a future where every industrial facility, everywhere on earth, is powered by abundant, low-cost, zero-emissions energy.</span></p></div><p><strong>Position Summary</strong></p><ul><li><span style="font-weight:400;">As a supplier Quality Engineer you will play a crucial role in ensuring that the products or components supplied by external vendors meet the required quality standards.
