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 Amperesand\nAmperesand is building next-generation power infrastructure systems for Data Centers, EV charging platforms, and future energy applications. Our systems combine advanced power electronics, embedded controls, and scalable energy architectures to rethink how power is converted, controlled, and deployed.\nAbout the Role\nRole Summary\nAt Amperesand, the System Electronics leader owns the system-level electronics architecture of our Solid-State Transformer (SST) products. You will lead a team of design engineers who architect and develop the low-voltage and mixed-signal control, sensing, safety systems, and auxiliary power converters. You own how these subsystems are partitioned, how they interface across voltage domains, and how they come together into designs that are safe, reliable, manufacturable, and cost-effective across prototype, pre-production, and volume production. You will partner closely with the program management team and cross-functional teams to bring rigor, speed, and architectural clarity to everything we ship.\nWhat You’ll Do\nResponsibilities\nOwn the end-to-end system-level electronics architecture for SST products.\nDefine the low-voltage and mixed-signal architecture for control, sensing, and protection, ensuring measurement chains, fault detection, and communication interfaces meet performance and safety targets.\nSet architectural direction across the system: functional partitioning, interface definition, voltage-domain isolation, grounding, protection, redundancy, and fault tolerance to meet single-fault-tolerant and product-lifetime requirements.\nDefine the 800V power architecture and set direction on auxiliary power converter architecture: topology strategy, power budgeting, isolation, and integration with the SST power stage.\nLead, mentor, and grow a team of design engineers. Provide technical guidance while empowering engineers to own their domains.\nDrive requirements decomposition, interface control, and architecture reviews (including DFMEA, derating, and trade studies) that balance performance, reliability, safety, cost, and manufacturability.\nOwn the electronics roadmap across multiple product generations.\nCollaborate closely with firmware, controls, mechanical and test engineering teams. Drive product improvements from first principles.\nSupport EMC compliance, functional safety, and safety certification at the system level, and champion documentation, traceability, and standards that scale with the company.\nEstablish frameworks for architecture definition, requirements decomposition, and design review that bring consistency and speed to the electronics organization.\nWhat You’ll Bring\nBS, MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.\n10+ years of engineering experience in electronics or power electronics hardware development, with at least 4 years in a people-leadership role managing technical teams.\nStrong background in system-level electronics architecture for high-voltage, high-power conversion products, with the breadth to lead across both low-voltage/mixed-signal design and power conversion.\nTechnical Skills\nSolid understanding of AC-DC and DC-DC converter topologies and auxiliary supplies, and how power stages integrate with control, sensing, and protection electronics.\nWorking knowledge of isolation and interface design across voltage domains, high-voltage design practices, protection and fault-tolerance strategies, and functional safety concepts.\nProven track record architecting and delivering electronics products from prototype through volume production.\nWorking Model\nEmployment Type:\nFull-time \nLocation:\nReno \nWork Model:\n\nOnsite\nOnsite Collaboration Rationale:\nGiven the highly collaborative and cross-functional nature of hardware, embedded systems, and product development, in-person partnership across engineering and product teams is critical to enabling rapid execution, technical alignment, and successful development outcomes.\nWhy Join Amperesand\nWork on next-generation power infrastructure systemsHigh ownership and visibility\nCross-functional collaboration\nOpportunity to shape future products and infrastructure\nFast-moving startup environment\n\nCandidate Confidentiality & Information Protection \nAs part of our commitment to protecting confidential and proprietary information, candidates should not discloseor provide Amperesandwith any confidential, proprietary, or trade secret information belonging to a current or former employer or any other third party during the application or interview process. \nPlease do not submitor present employer-owned source code, schematics, designs, technical documentation, internal presentations, customer information, prototypes, or other confidential materials. Candidates should discuss their experience and accomplishments at an appropriate leveland use only information and materials they are authorized toshare. \nPay Disclosure & Benefits\nCompensation will be determined based on experience, location, and other factors permitted by law. \nThe benefits outlined below apply exclusively to employees located in the United States.\nCompetitive Salary + Incentive Stock Options \nMedical, vision, and dental benefits for employees and their dependents, effective from the start of hire \nCompany paid Basic Life, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability insurance \n401k retirement savings plan through Empower \nEmployees receive paid time off (PTO), paid sick days, and paid company holidays \nCommuter Benefits \n100% paid maternal leave (12 weeks) and paternal leave (6 weeks) \nSingapore-based employees receive benefits in accordance with local government provisions.\nEqual Employment Opportunity \nAmperesand is an equal opportunity employer and complies with all applicable federal, state, and local fair employment practices laws.
