Senior Product Manager, Software

Company Overview   

Amperesand is reinventing how the world powers its most critical systems.

We are facing a once-in-a-generation opportunity for infrastructure disruption. 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.

And 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.

We’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.

Our 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.

Scalable in-house advanced manufacturing capability is our foundation for meeting timeline and quality expectation to serve infrastructure customers around the world.

Amperesand 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.

With 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.

Join us in building the power foundation of the future!

Role Summary

We are hiring a Senior Product Manager, Software to own the development and delivery of site-level control software for Amperesand deployments. This includes everything from EMS integration to SCADA, site orchestration logic, and remote diagnostics. 

You’ll define and prioritize the roadmap for how our inverters, battery systems, and microgrid controllers interact with local site systems — bridging edge-to-cloud telemetry, firmware integration, control algorithms, and customer-facing software. 

This is a cross-functional leadership role spanning embedded systems, cloud integration, customer onboarding, and compliance frameworks. You will work closely with engineering, field teams, and enterprise customers to drive the software stack that makes our systems responsive, intelligent, and dependable at scale. 

If you're passionate about building impactful, value-centric products and excited about building transformational products at the intersection of electrification, grid modernization, and digital control—this is your opportunity to lead and we want to hear from you! 

Responsibilities: 

• Own product requirements and roadmap for site-level software control systems, including orchestration, diagnostics, and external integrations 

• Define functional requirements across: 

• • Distributed energy resource control (inverter, storage, load shedding) 

• • Third-party EMS/BMS/SCADA interfaces 

• • Local controller logic and software update pipelines 

• Collaborate with embedded systems, cloud software, and firmware teams to deliver robust, scalable, and secure control products 

• Drive alignment between software development and field performance needs (e.g., uptime, responsiveness, recoverability) 

• Ensure feature-level compliance with IEEE 2030.5, Modbus, OpenADR, and security frameworks (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001) 

• Work directly with customers to onboard, configure, and tune site control logic to meet application needs (EV charging, data center redundancy, microgrids, etc.) 

• Develop documentation, dashboards, and field tools that empower customer self-service and remote troubleshooting 

• Track and report KPIs for software performance, system stability, and user experience 

Qualifications: 

• 5+ years in product management for control systems, industrial software, or energy software 

• Strong understanding of distributed energy systems, inverter integration, or power systems control 

• Experience with one or more of: EMS, BMS, SCADA, DERMS, or grid-edge control systems 

• Software architecture for real-time control and telemetry 

• Modbus, CAN, OPC-UA, REST APIs, or IEC 61850 

• Background working with hardware/software teams in complex, high-reliability environments 

• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills — able to translate between technical, customer, and business contexts 

• Passion for clean energy, system reliability, and building things that matter 

Technical Skills: 

To succeed in this role, you will bring a strong blend of technical fluency and systems-level thinking, with direct experience in the following: 

• Industrial Communication Protocols: 
  Proficiency with Modbus (RTU/TCP), OPC-UA, CANbus, REST APIs, GOOSE, SNMP; understanding of protocol mapping and interface abstraction layers 

• Power Systems Integration: 
  Familiarity with DER components (inverters, BESS, relays, metering), site controller architectures, and local supervisory logic for microgrid or distributed energy control 

• Software & Control Architecture: 
  Understanding of real-time systems, deterministic control loops, fault-tolerant design, and embedded/cloud control handoffs; experience with Linux-based edge devices, gateways, or PLCs 

• SCADA / EMS / BMS Interfacing: 
  Experience defining requirements and managing integration with customer-side EMS, SCADA, and building or battery management systems; exposure to IEC 61850, IEEE 2030.5, DNP3, or similar 

• Data Models & Telemetry: 
  Knowledge of telemetry data structures (e.g., time series, events, alarms); ability to specify logging, diagnostics, and performance KPIs for distributed assets 

• Security & Update Management: 
  Awareness of OT/IT security models, software signing, update policies, and remote fleet management protocols (e.g., secure OTA updates) 

• Tooling & Documentation: 
  Comfortable working with Jira, Confluence, Git, Figma (or equivalent); experience producing PRDs, integration guides, interface specs, and release documentation 

Bonus qualifications: 

• Energy Sector Knowledge: Experience working on projects related to smart grids, renewable energy, or energy management platforms is a plus. 

Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.
