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!

- Build end‑to‑end ML pipelines including data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, inference, deployment, and monitoring.
- Develop and deploy models for predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and performance forecasting.
- Collaborate with edge and cloud teams to define where intelligence runs.
- Productionize models with strong focus on reliability, observability, retraining, and explainability.
- Design and integrate AI agentic frameworks enabling systems that reason, plan, and act.
- Partner with product and domain experts to translate operational problems into ML objectives.
- Continuously improve models using real‑world feedback loops.
- Document system designs and tradeoffs for cross‑functional stakeholders.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in machine learning or applied AI, including production deployments.
- Strong experience with time‑series data and predictive modeling.
- Strong programming skills in Python; Go, Java, or Rust is a plus.
- Experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or scikit‑learn.
- Experience building data pipelines using streaming or event‑driven systems.
- Cloud and containerization experience (AWS/GCP/Azure, Docker).
- Strong understanding of monitoring, drift detection, and retraining.
- Work experience into defining hardware specifications for training environment.
- Hands‑on experience with AI agentic frameworks.
- Proficiency in English and ability to communicate with wider teams
- Ability to travel up to 20% including internationally
Bonus Qualifications
- Background in energy engineering systems (power systems, energy storage, power electronics, or controls).
- Experience with IoT, manufacturing, or industrial platforms.
- Exposure to edge AI deployments.
- Knowledge of signal processing or physics‑informed ML.
- Experience with MES, digital twins, or asset health monitoring.
- Open source AI agents project contribution.
- Familiarity with MLOps and CI/CD workflows.
- Experience working with hardware, firmware, or operations teams.
Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.
