Modular solid-state transformers for grid power
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!
Our first Solid State Transformer systems are being designed into live data center projects alongside hyperscale end customers and their switchgear and integration partners. Those programs run on a steady cadence of technical submittals, design reviews, and interface decisions — and they move at the pace of the customer's site schedule.
As a Technical Account Manager, you are the single technical owner of those relationships. You sit between the customer's electrical engineering team and ours, you author and defend the drawings and documents we submit, and you make sure every committed deliverable lands on time and correct. This is a hands-on engineering role with an account owner's accountability, not a coordination role.
Responsibilities
Own the technical relationship with key accounts. Be the named technical point of contact for a portfolio of strategic data center customers and their OEM, EPC, and switchgear integration partners. Run the recurring technical reviews, lead design workshops, and be the person the customer's engineers call first.
Author and own single line diagrams. Produce and maintain customer-facing SLDs covering the MV path, transformer winding configurations and topologies, protection devices and functions, auxiliary power distribution, generators, BESS/DC-DC interfaces, and test bed and FAT configurations. Drive these to internal review and alignment before they go out, and iterate against customer markups.
Prepare and deliver technical documentation. Own the submittal packages behind program milestones: staged design document submissions, system block diagrams, sequences of operation, state diagrams, protection function schedules, datasheets and rating plates, skid and site layouts, interface control documents, serviceable parts BOMs, and FAT plans and reports.
Manage customer deliverables end to end. Maintain the deliverable schedule and design decision tracker for your accounts. Break customer commitments into internal actions across electrical, mechanical, firmware, software, compliance, quality, and supply chain; drive them to closure; and escalate early when a date is at risk.
Run customer communications. Own RFI and technical inquiry responses, action item logs, meeting minutes, and status reporting. Give the customer a clear, accurate, single answer — and give leadership an honest read on program health.
Support FAT, commissioning, and energization. Partner with Test, Quality, and Service on factory acceptance testing, witness events, punch list closure, site acceptance, and handover documentation.
Bring the customer's voice back inside. Translate field and interface requirements into product requirements. Represent real deployment constraints in specification and design reviews so the next generation is easier to integrate, permit, and service.
Support new business technically. Join technical due diligence and evaluation conversations with prospective customers, and build the confidence that Amperesand can execute.
Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications
Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.
While this role is listed for the location above, we may consider candidates in other locations on a case-by-case basis.
Onsite Collaboration Rationale:
Given the highly collaborative and cross-functional nature of hardware, embedded systems, and product development, in-person partnership across engineering and product teams is critical to enabling rapid execution, technical alignment, and successful development outcomes.

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.
