Job Description

At Amperesand, the System Electronics leader owns the system-level electronics architecture of our Solid-State Transformer (SST) products.

Key Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end system-level electronics architecture for SST products.
Define the low-voltage and mixed-signal architecture for control, sensing, and protection, ensuring measurement chains, fault detection, and communication interfaces meet performance and safety targets.
Set architectural direction across the system: functional partitioning, interface definition, voltage-domain isolation, grounding, protection, redundancy, and fault tolerance to meet single-fault-tolerant and product-lifetime requirements.
Define the 800V power architecture and set direction on auxiliary power converter architecture: topology strategy, power budgeting, isolation, and integration with the SST power stage.
Lead, mentor, and grow a team of design engineers. Provide technical guidance while empowering engineers to own their domains.
Drive requirements decomposition, interface control, and architecture reviews (including DFMEA, derating, and trade studies) that balance performance, reliability, safety, cost, and manufacturability.
Own the electronics roadmap across multiple product generations.
Collaborate closely with firmware, controls, mechanical and test engineering teams. Drive product improvements from first principles.
Support EMC compliance, functional safety, and safety certification at the system level, and champion documentation, traceability, and standards that scale with the company.
Establish frameworks for architecture definition, requirements decomposition, and design review that bring consistency and speed to the electronics organization.
