Process Engineer

Responsibilities

• Support production operations across shifts, including remote or onsite escalation response as needed to minimize process-related downtime and yield loss
• Develop, implement, and optimize production processes to ensure safety while maximizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and achieving world-class quality levels
• Diagnose process failures and defects, drive corrective actions to root cause, and implement sustainable countermeasures to prevent recurrence
• Monitor and reduce process variation using Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA); audit manufacturing processes to ensure product specifications and standards are consistently achieved
• Develop data collection, visualization, and analysis tools to enable data-driven decision making and predictive insight into process performance
• Champion continuous improvement projects to improve yield, capacity, and process capability, including cycle time reduction, scrap reduction, and labor efficiency gains
• Develop and maintain FMEAs and Control Plans; analyze, develop, and implement Engineering Change Orders
• Create and maintain Manufacturing Instructions, process routings, and related documentation, including rework procedures
• Own process-level metrics, present performance data to engineering and operations stakeholders, and drive structured improvement initiatives
• Maintain comprehensive process documentation and participate in Engineering Change Management

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Manufacturing, Chemical, or Industrial Engineering, or a related field
• 3+ years of experience in a high-volume, highly automated manufacturing environment developing and improving processes
• Proven experience driving process and OEE improvements through structured root cause analysis and continuous improvement methods
• Proficiency in structured problem-solving methodologies such as DMAIC, 5 Whys, 8D, or Ishikawa
• Knowledge of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and its application in manufacturing environments
• Experience with data collection and analysis for process performance and development
• Ability to lead cross-functional projects and support 24/7 operations during escalations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Bonus Qualifications
• Experience with data analysis and visualization tools such as Python, JMP, Minitab, Ta

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 We are seeking a skilled and hands-on Process Engineer to join our Production Engineering team, focused on developing, sustaining, and optimizing manufacturing processes across our production lines. The ideal candidate brings a strong foundation in process development, data analysis, and continuous improvement, along with the drive to expand expertise across disciplines. This role requires critical thinking, fast learning, and direct ownership of process performance in a high-paced production environment. This is a floor-facing, high-impact role. You will work closely with Quality, Equipment, and Operations teams to ensure processes are capable, repeatable, and continuously improving.
