<div class="content-intro"><p><strong><span data-contrast="none">Company Overview </span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p> <p data-start="82" data-end="157">Amperesand is reinventing how the world powers its most critical systems.</p> <p style="text-align: left;" data-start="159" data-end="479">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.</p> <p data-start="481" data-end="858">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.</p> <p data-start="860" data-end="1072">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.</p> <p data-start="1074" data-end="1363">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.</p> <p data-start="1365" data-end="1533">Scalable in-house advanced manufacturing capability is our foundation for meeting timeline and quality expectation to serve infrastructure customers around the world.</p> <p data-start="1535" data-end="1720">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.</p> <p data-start="1722" data-end="1911">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.</p> <p data-start="1913" data-end="1968" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Join us in building the power foundation of the future!</p></div><div class="prose prose-h1:text-2xl mx-auto mt-6 text-gray-500"> <p><strong>Responsibilities:</strong></p> <ul> <li> <p>Architect and develop embedded firmware components that execute real-time power regulation, protection, and control algorithms for SST operation.</p> </li> <li> <p>Lead firmware for power electronics embedded systems, ensuring functional and performance requirements are met</p> </li> <li> <p>Work closely with hardware teams to integrate firmware with new or existing hardware components</p> </li> <li> <p>Work with other talented engineers to solve complex problems, share knowledge, and ensure project milestones are met</p> </li> <li> <p>Stay updated with new technologies, tools, and methodologies in embedded systems</p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Qualifications</strong>:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, etc. with 5+years of professional experience or combined equivalent experience with evidence of exceptional ability</p> </li> <li> <p>Proficiency in C or C++ for embedded systems.</p> </li> <li> <p>Hands-on Experience at the firmware & hardware boundary.</p> </li> <li> <p>Knowledge of real-time programming concepts and real-time operating systems.</p> </li> <li> <p>Ability to write efficient code under resource constraints (memory, CPU).</p> </li> <li> <p>Knowledge of digital and analog electronics.</p> </li> <li>Ability to travel domestic- 20%</li> <li> <p>Excellent written and verbal communications</p> </li> </ul> <p data-pm-slice="1 1 []"><strong>Please note</strong>: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week.
