About the Job

Requirements

  • A technical degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Systems Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent hands-on industry experience with complex power electronics hardware and regulatory compliance.
  • At least 6 years of experience in technical program management, compliance engineering, or regulatory affairs roles involving power electronics, electrical hardware, or energy systems in a production environment.
  • Demonstrated experience managing product certifications to relevant safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards, including UL 1741, IEC 62109, IEC 61000 series, FCC Part 15, CE/UKCA marking, and grid interconnection requirements such as IEEE 1547 or UL 1741-SA.
  • Familiarity with product development lifecycle stages (EVT, DVT, PVT) and integration of compliance activities at each phase, including test planning, failure analysis, design iteration, and final certification submission.
  • Working knowledge of power electronics principles, including converters, inverters, motor drives, and grid-tied systems, sufficient to engage meaningfully with engineering teams on compliance implications of design decisions.
  • Experience aligning engineering, quality, supply chain, and operations teams around shared compliance milestones and accountability.
  • Experience managing external relationships with accredited test labs such as UL, TÜV, Intertek, and MET Labs, and regulatory bodies, including coordinating test schedules, responding to non-conformances, and managing retest cycles.
  • Ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into clear engineering actions and present compliance status to technical and executive audiences.
  • Experience with material compliance programs, including RoHS, REACH, and conflict minerals, and component-level qualification processes tied to certification requirements.
  • Willingness and ability to travel up to 30%, including internationally, to support lab testing, regulatory audits, and global partner engagements.
  • Ability to work on-site five days a week; hybrid and remote options are not offered.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the end-to-end compliance program, planning and coordinating support for certification and regulatory activities across engineering disciplines, product development, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality.
  • Own and drive the compliance roadmap by defining milestone-driven schedules aligned with product development timelines (EVT, DVT, PVT), sequencing testing, certification submissions, and regulatory approvals to avoid program delays.
  • Lead relationships with external test labs, certification bodies, and regulatory agencies.
  • Drive sample submissions, track open findings, manage response timelines, and ensure audit readiness throughout development.
  • Identify and mitigate compliance risks early, proactively surface design, material, or process gaps that could jeopardize certification outcomes, and partner with engineering and operations to resolve them through structured trade-off analysis.
  • Own executive and cross-functional compliance communications by providing clear status updates on certification progress, risks, and regulatory dependencies.
  • Drive integration of compliance requirements into product design, collaborating with electrical and power electronics engineers to account for safety standards, electromagnetic compatibility requirements, creepage and clearance rules, and component approval requirements in design decisions.
  • Partner with supply chain and quality teams on component-level compliance, including RoHS/REACH/PFAS material compliance, approved vendor lists, component derating requirements, and supplier qualification relative to certification obligations.
  • Support design-for-manufacturing and design review processes with a compliance lens, flag regulatory implications during design reviews, and ensure manufacturing processes and test fixtures align with certification requirements.
  • Develop and continuously improve compliance program management infrastructure by defining, driving, and supporting activity trackers to meet milestones.
  • Execute and maintain compliance documentation and traceability, including test report tools, technical construction files, and other regulatory artifacts required to meet compliance goals and align with the team.
  • Coordinate equipment, budget, test plans, and resources in a communicated, cohesive plan to build internal test lab capabilities.

About the Company

Amperesand

Modular solid-state transformers for grid power

Amperesand develops modular solid-state transformers (SSTs) for grid infrastructure using silicon carbide (SiC) devices and proprietary high-frequency transformers. The SSTs are digitally controlled and bidirectional, offered in 2, 4, and 6 MW modules that can be combined to meet larger needs, replacing traditional transformers, switchgear, and UPS in a single AI-driven system. It differentiates itself through the combination of SiC SSTs, proprietary high-frequency transformers, digital power management, and leadership from NTU R&D spun out with Temasek’s Xora Innovation, plus an experienced team from ABB, GE, Siemens, and Vestas. The goal is to speed up the energy transition by delivering scalable, compact SST systems for EV charging networks, microgrids, data centers, and industrial power, with first deliveries planned for 2025 in the US and Singapore.
