Electricity demand is skyrocketing, driven by AI factories, electric vehicles, and modern industrial growth. Energy supply is shifting to incorporate a more diverse mix of resources - including solar, gas, and batteries - at a massive scale.\nAnd yet the power infrastructure behind our latest mega-projects hasn’t meaningfully changed in nearly 100 years. Supply chains for today’s infrastructure equipment can’t match the pace and sophistication of critical energy projects. Amperesand is building hardware and software that rewrites this broken power infrastructure playbook to support a new era of energy abundance.\nWe’ve built a new class of intelligent, software-defined power infrastructure products leveraging a decade of advanced medium voltage Solid State Transformer research that’s now ready for commercial deployment.\nOur products and solutions go far beyond the capabilities of traditional electrical equipment. We make power systems that are faster to deploy, dramatically smaller and more efficient, and capable of supporting modern, dynamic energy needs for tomorrow’s most demanding energy consumers.\nScalable in-house advanced manufacturing capability is our foundation for meeting timeline and quality expectation to serve infrastructure customers around the world.\nAmperesand is led by breakthrough energy hardware development veterans and funded by top tier investors who share our vision of building a category-defining energy technology company.\nWith hubs in San Francisco, Reno, and Singapore, our global team is laser focused on building foundational technology to solve the most pressing problems in power infrastructure at scale.\nJoin us in building the power foundation of the future!\nAbout the Role\nAs our Engineering Technician Supervisor, you will lead a team of engineering technicians supporting mechanical and electrical assembly, NPI product builds, and prototype equipment setup. This is a highly hands-on leadership role-you'll assign work, unblock issues in real time, ensure builds meet schedule and quality standards, and track and approve timecards and labor hours for your team. You'll coordinate and deliver on-the-job training, helping technicians develop the craftsmanship and technical skills needed to build, test, and refine electro-mechanical systems safely, consistently, and efficiently. Your leadership will directly influence product readiness, prototype quality, and the pace at which new products move from development into production.\nWhat You'll Do:\nDirectly supervise engineering technicians supporting mechanical and electrical assembly, NPI product builds, and prototype equipment setup, managing daily work assignments and floor coverage.\nOwn day-to-day execution of technician work, ensuring schedules, quality, and safety standards are met while escalating issues and risks in real time.\nTrack, review, and approve timecards, labor hours, and overtime for the technician team, supporting labor efficiency and project planning.\nCoordinate, deliver, and document on-the-job training for new and existing technicians, building proficiency in assembly, fabrication, troubleshooting, and test methods.\nWork hands-on alongside the team to support installation, wiring, and commissioning of manufacturing and pilot equipment.\nPartner with engineers on prototype iterations, test fixture development, and continuous improvement initiatives; support design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews and feedback loops.\nAssist in and oversee product and process validation activities, including execution of qualification protocols and data collection.\nEnsure adherence to safety standards and protocols, especially when working with high-voltage or mechanical systems, proactively identifying and correcting hazards.\nDevelop and maintain reports that provide clear visibility to leadership on technician team progress, risks, and corrective actions.\nCreate a positive, accountable team culture through coaching, performance feedback, and corrective action, including addressing performance concerns and administering discipline when necessary.\nMaintain organization of development area and tool spaces.\nWhat You'll Bring:\nHigh school diploma or GED required.\n7+ years of experience in assembly, testing, or support of electro-mechanical equipment or NPI builds, including at least 2 years in a supervisory or lead role.\nProven experience leading day-to-day technician work in a fast-paced engineering or manufacturing environment, including work assignment and schedule execution.\nExperience managing labor and timekeeping, including tracking and approving timecards, overtime, and shift coverage.\nProficient with hand tools, power tools, shear, breaker, hydraulic press, and manual fabrication techniques, such as soldering, crimping, and machining; machine shop experience is a plus.\nBasic understanding of electrical, mechanical, and pneumatic systems, including the ability to troubleshoot and rework.\nExperience with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and interpreting technical drawings.\nDemonstrated ability to read and work from electromechanical diagrams or multi-discipline engineering documentation.\nExperience coordinating and delivering on-the-job training and coaching technicians through changing processes.\nStrong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to provide clear direction, real-time feedback, and corrective action when required.\nAbility to lift up to 50 lbs, stand or bend for extended periods, and operate safely in an industrial lab setting.\nCommitment to safety and EHS best practices in an industrial lab or manufacturing environment.\nNice To Have:\nAssociate's degree in a technical discipline (e.g., mechanical, electrical, manufacturing technology) or equivalent hands-on experience preferred.\nProficiency in SolidWorks for interpreting and working with complex CAD models.\nStrong foundation in electrical systems\nPrior experience in NPI builds, pilot lines, or early-stage product validation.\nExperience working in Agile development environments, including task management and sprint planning using Scrum methodologies and tools like Jira and Confluence\nFamiliarity with PLC systems.\nForklift certified preferable.\n\nPlease note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week.
