Production Associate

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! Role Summary The Production Associate supports the execution of prototype-to-production builds for solid-state transformers in a fast-paced startup environment. This role is responsible for assembling mechanical subassemblies and completing final unit builds with a strong focus on quality and precision. The associate will follow established production processes, safety requirements, and quality standards while meeting defined production schedules. This is a highly hands on position requiring attention to detail and the ability to work with complex electromechanical systems. On-the-job training will be provided to develop the skills needed to build advanced hardware safely and efficiently. The role is ideal for individuals who enjoy practical work and contributing directly to cutting edge hardware development. Responsibilities Assemble mechanical and electromechanical subassemblies and final solid state transformer units according to work instructions and engineering drawings Execute daily production tasks in alignment with established production schedules and build priorities Follow all quality control procedures to ensure products meet internal standards and customer requirements Adhere strictly to safety policies, EHS guidelines, and proper use of PPE at all times Perform material handling activities required to support assembly operations, including receiving, unpacking, staging, and moving materials using pallet jacks or other approved equipment Prepare and package finished products and prepare units for internal transfer or shipment as required Accurately complete production documentation, build records, and time or quantity tracking logs Participate in required training to develop skills for safely building complex solid state power hardware Support quality investigations by identifying defects, documenting issues, and assisting with root cause analysis when needed Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient work area in accordance with 5S or similar standards Communicate clearly with supervisors, engineers, and team members regarding build status, issues, or material needs…
