Track tickets, maintain hardware and license records, assist with onboarding and offboarding, and recommend improvements. The role requires clear communication, documentation, confidentiality, and onsite work in Reno five days per week.

General Interest applicants may be considered for future opportunities across engineering, product development, program management, operations, supply chain, business operations, finance, and people functions. Amperesand seeks initiative, adaptability, clear communication, cross-functional collaboration, attention to detail, problem-solving ability, ownership, and enthusiasm for its mission and power infrastructure technology.

Lead cross-functional manufacturing programs from concept to full production, owning scope, schedule, risk, and quality. Coordinate process development, pilot builds, tooling, validation, supplier readiness, and production ramp. Partner with engineering, supply chain, quality, and operations to define requirements, resolve failures, and drive cost and yield improvements. Communicate status to leadership and improve manufacturing program processes and tools.

Design and lead embedded firmware for real-time power regulation, protection, and control in SST systems. Own bootloader, security, and platform integration, collaborate with hardware teams, and ensure performance, testing, and project delivery.

Lead product compliance testing and certification strategy for solid-state transformer systems. Own standards interpretation, engage NRTLs, build compliance infrastructure, drive pre-compliance validation, and align cross-functional teams to achieve global certifications (CE, UKCA, RoHS) and market entry timelines.

Design and validate isolated and non-isolated high-power converter stages and magnetics for MV/LV Solid State Transformer systems. Perform FEA-driven magnetics design, high-voltage isolation and safety testing, optimize loss/cost/size trade-offs, coordinate with mechanical, manufacturing and test teams, and own magnetics validation to meet performance and safety standards.

Lead a team that designs, builds, validates, and operates manufacturing test systems and product validation for high-voltage power electronics (Solid State Transformer). Own test strategy, lab uptime, safety, calibration, capacity planning, and cross-functional collaboration to scale prototype through volume production and improve test automation, coverage, and reliability.

Support AWS cloud deployments and day-to-day operations using Terragrunt/Terraform, manage CI/CD (GitHub Actions), artifact storage (S3/ECR), monitor with CloudWatch/Datadog, troubleshoot services, maintain runbooks, participate in on-call incident response, and automate infrastructure tasks.

Leads quality engineering from R&D through mass production for power conversion systems. Builds and manages quality teams, systems, metrics, audits, CAPA processes, APQP plans, root-cause investigations, SPC programs, capability studies, supplier quality requirements, incoming qualification protocols, and quality laboratories. Drives data-based continuous improvement and collaboration across manufacturing, engineering, suppliers, and customers in a 24/7 on-site production environment.

Leads daily prototype-to-production manufacturing builds and directly supervises production associates on the shop floor. Responsibilities include assigning work, managing schedules and labor hours, enforcing safety and quality standards, coordinating training, maintaining standardized work instructions, monitoring production metrics, driving continuous improvement, and partnering with engineering on issue resolution and production readiness. The role is fully on-site five days per week in Reno.

Manage and develop a globally distributed team of Supplier Industrialization Engineers, overseeing strategies and processes for supplier onboarding, development, and quality across manufacturing systems.
