Project Manager - Solid State Transformer (SST) Deployments

Responsibilities

• Project Leadership & Execution
• Lead day-to-day execution of SST deployment projects at pilot sites, ensuring safety, quality, schedule, and scope objectives are met.
• Manage the full project lifecycle - from planning and site readiness through installation, integration, testing, and commissioning.
• Maintain detailed project plans, deliverables, and milestones aligned with program-level objectives.
• Coordinate site activities across engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, quality, vendor partners, and customer teams to ensure seamless execution.
• Drive effective issue resolution by tracking gaps, dependencies, and technical challenges encountered during deployment.
• Pilot Site Engagement & Post-Deployment Support
• Serve as the primary operational contact for pilot site stakeholders, ensuring transparent communication and timely updates.
• Oversee on-site system validation, performance monitoring, and troubleshooting during initial operational phases.
• Coordinate internal teams to deliver post-deployment support, including bug fixes, firmware updates, and performance improvements.
• Document learnings, site feedback, failure modes, and improvement opportunities to inform future deployments and product iterations.
• Agile Project Support
• Support Agile execution within engineering and deployment teams, including sprint planning, backlog grooming, daily standups, and sprint demos.
• Translate site needs and deployment issues into clear Agile user stories with defined acceptance criteria.
• Maintain traceability between field issues, engineering actions, and sprint deliverables.
• Ensure project status, risks, and progress are clearly communicated within the Agile framework.
• Cross-Functional Coordination
• Partner closely with the Program Manager to align project timelines, priorities, resources, and risk mitigation plans.
• Collaborate with supply chain and operations to ensure materials readiness, delivery schedules, and vendor coordination remain on track.
• Support engineering teams in system integration, test planning, and execution of site-specific configurations.
• Maintain documentation including deployment procedures, site checklists, risk logs, test reports, and post-deployment summaries.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Project Management, or a related technical discipline; or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of experience managing technical, field-execution, or hardware deployment projects.
• Strong understanding of electrical systems, industrial installations, or power-related technologies (experience with power electronics is a plus).
• Demonstrated success coordinating cross-functional teams in fast-paced, high-complexity environments.
• Experience working within Agile frameworks (Scrum or Kanban) and supporting Agile execution.
• Excellent communication skills - verbal, written, and visual - with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability and willingness to travel to pilot sites (10-20%, depending on project phase).
• Experience in EV chargin

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!
