Job Description

Amperesand is bringing solid-state transformer (SST) technology to market, and our first deployments at data centres and other critical sites will define how customers and partners see us.

Key Responsibilities

Own MV service procedures and safety: Author, own and continuously improve MV installation, commissioning, maintenance and RMA SOPs, including safety guidance, LOTO/switching procedures and arc-flash practices aligned with NFPA 70E.
Lead pilot site installs and ongoing maintenance: Lead and personally deliver safe, on-time installations and commissioning, and ongoing maintenance, at reference-critical pilot sites, including data centres, achieving zero safety incidents, 99.999% availability and first-time-right energization.
Act as Technical Account Manager: Serve as the primary technical point of contact for key customers and partners – managing site readiness, escalations, root-cause investigations and service reviews to drive uptime and customer satisfaction.
Build partner certification: Design and deliver a training and certification program that enables effective training of in-house or external installers to deploy and maintain Amperesand systems at scale, and audit their work to Amperesand’s standards.
Be the voice of the field in product design: Capture field learnings and translate them into clear, prioritized design inputs (via Jira) for serviceability, installability and reliability; participate in design reviews as the field representative.
Drive diagnostics and RMA: Use system telemetry and field data to diagnose faults, support RMA failure analysis with R&D, and identify trends that improve fleet reliability.
Build and lead the field team: Hire, mentor and lead a team of field service engineers/technicians, setting standards for safety, documentation and customer conduct.
Be a hands-on generalist: Contribute wherever needed in a startup environment – from site surveys and tooling to spares planning and service pricing input.

Requirements

Years of experience: 10+ years in field service, commissioning or installation engineering, with substantial hands-on MV (e.g. 4.16–35 kV) switchgear, transformer or power conversion equipment experience.
Education: BSc in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience (e.g. military, utility or trade background).
Domain expertise: Deep knowledge of MV systems, protection, switching, grounding and safe work practices; current NFPA 70E / arc-flash training.
Leadership: Experience leading or mentoring field teams, and authoring SOPs, training material or certification programs.
Industry experience: Data centre, mission-critical facility, utility or energy infrastructure experience strongly preferred.
Flexibility: Willingness to travel 30–50%, including multi-week deployments, and to work extended or irregular hours when site schedules demand.
Collaboration: A team player who communicates clearly with customers and with software, electrical and hardware engineers alike.
Startup or early-stage product deployment experience
NETA Level III/IV certification
OSHA 30 certification
Experience with solid-state transformers, power electronics converters or grid-tied energy storage
Experience building technical training or partner/installer certification programs
Basic scripting (e.g. Python) for data analysis or test automation
