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!

About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on EHS Program Manager to develop, implement, and continuously improve EHS programs across the organization. You should be comfortable developing a company-wide policy in the morning and working directly with a technician, engineer, or supervisor in the afternoon to solve a difficult safety problem. Given the nature of our work, a strong working understanding of electrical safety is essential. You will support high-power test operations, energized work controls, arc flash risk management, lockout/tagout, and safe integration of manufacturing and test equipment. This is not a role for someone who writes requirements and walks away. Our expectation is simple: do not throw requirements over the wall. Own the problem with the team until an effective solution is in place.

What You'll Do

EHS Program & Policy Development

Develop, implement, and continuously improve company EHS policies, standards, programs, procedures, and safe work practices
Translate regulatory requirements, industry practices, operational risks, and lessons learned into practical company requirements
Own programs from initial development through implementation, field validation, and continuous improvement
Establish clear program responsibilities, training requirements, and measures of effectiveness

Electrical & High-Power Test Safety

Develop and implement the company's electrical safety program, including NFPA 70E-based safe work practices, arc flash risk assessment, energized work permits, and qualified worker requirements
Partner with test engineering on safe work systems for high-power electrical test operations, including test area controls, interlocks, barriers, and emergency response
Support lockout/tagout (LOTO) implementation across manufacturing and test equipment
Participate in equipment safety reviews and buy-offs for new manufacturing and test equipment, including safety logic, controls, guarding, and energy isolation

Risk Assessment & Hands-On Partnership

Lead risk assessments for routine, non-routine, and higher-risk work, applying the hierarchy of controls with the people performing the work
