Description
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 this role
Amperesand is looking for a Metrology Technician to support quality and manufacturing operations for its next-generation power infrastructure products in Reno. You'll perform precision inspections and measurements on parts and assemblies using coordinate measuring machines, optical systems, and hand tools, then create and maintain measurement programs in PolyWorks to drive continuous improvement. The role bridges quality assurance and engineering—you'll analyze data, generate technical reports, apply GD&T principles across the organization, and work directly with design teams and suppliers to resolve quality issues and support corrective actions.
This position suits someone with hands-on metrology experience and proficiency with precision measurement tools and software. You'll need to read mechanical drawings fluently, interpret GD&T specifications, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A background in skilled trades, quality, or mechanical disciplines is preferred, though equivalent hands-on experience counts. Comfort with Jira, Confluence, and Excel is expected as part of the role's documentation and coordination work.
Note that this is a full-time, on-site role requiring five days per week in Reno—there is no hybrid option despite the initial listing description.
