Amperesand is building next-generation power infrastructure systems for data centers, EV charging platforms, and future energy applications. The company combines advanced power electronics, embedded controls, and scalable energy architectures to modernize how power is converted, controlled, and deployed.
As a Senior Applications Engineer on the Deployment team, you will own site integration success for Amperesand products from sales support through site design, installation, and commissioning. You will ensure successful controls, communications, and system integration between Amperesand products and neighboring electrical infrastructure and control systems.
Key responsibilities include:
- Define, configure, test, and troubleshoot communications interfaces and protocols including Modbus TCP, SunSpec, DNP3, and related industrial and utility protocols
- Develop and maintain SCADA integration requirements, point maps, register maps, control interfaces, alarms, telemetry, and communications architecture
- Support integration with plant power controllers (PPCs), EMS, BMS, SCADA, PLCs, and other site-level control systems
- Interpret and construct single-line diagrams for electrical power systems and communications/control architectures
- Design commissioning procedures in partnership with the Service organization and drive continuous improvement
- Provide on-site oversight for installation and commissioning of Amperesand products
- Partner with Product, Controls, Firmware, Electrical Engineering, Deployment, Service, EPCs, and customers to resolve application-specific technical issues
- Develop reusable application guidance, reference architectures, interface specifications, and best practices
- Support investigation of new product applications and markets; develop applications notes and whitepapers
- Travel to customer and project sites as required for technical oversight and integration support
The role is based in San Francisco/Sunnyvale or Reno with occasional travel between U.S. offices. Full-time, in-office position.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical discipline
- 5+ years of relevant experience in applications engineering, controls, commissioning, systems integration, or deployment of power conversion or electrical infrastructure systems
- Strong hands-on experience with SCADA and industrial communications, including Modbus TCP, SunSpec, and DNP3
- Demonstrated ability to interpret and develop electrical and communications single-line diagrams and related system integration drawings
- Working knowledge of Ethernet/IP networking, TCP/IP, network architecture, addressing, routing, and communications troubleshooting in industrial environments
- Experience integrating equipment with plant controllers, EMS, BMS, SCADA, PLCs, or utility control systems
- Experience developing and validating point lists, register maps, control commands, alarms, telemetry, and communications interfaces
- Familiarity with grid-connected power systems, inverter controls, active/reactive power control, power factor, voltage regulation, and utility interconnection requirements
- Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex issues spanning power electronics, controls, firmware, communications, networking, and site systems
- Strong customer-facing technical communication skills and ability to work effectively with customers, EPCs, utilities, integrators, and internal engineering teams
NICE TO HAVE:
- Experience working in a startup
- Experience with grid-tied inverters, BESS, renewable generation, microgrids, EV charging, industrial power systems, or other MW-scale power electronics
