Senior Product Compliance Engineer

About this role

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!

Amperesand is building a global company and looking for talent across our geographies.

Role Summary:

As a Senior Compliance Engineer, you will be a critical part of the product development process—getting ahead of engineering design decisions by identifying and interpreting applicable regulatory standards. You will work closely with product managers, engineering, and third-party test agencies (such as TUV, UL, or CSA) to align product innovation with global certification paths. This role requires deep familiarity with standards such as UL 1741-SB, UL 2877, IEC 62477, IEC 60730, and IEEE 1547, along with the technical understanding to guide teams through the practical implications of compliance decisions.

You will also represent Amperesand's interests with NRTLs, shaping how our products are reviewed and helping ensure we retain maximum design flexibility while achieving certification. If you’re driven to turn compliance into a competitive advantage and thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Standards Mapping & Interpretation: Identify relevant regulatory standards during product planning (e.g., UL 1741-SB, UL 2877, IEC 60730, IEEE 1547, NEC 705) and guide cross-functional teams on how to comply efficiently.

• Early-Stage Engagement: Engage early with product managers, firmware teams, and hardware engineers to de-risk compliance bottlenecks before they emerge downstream.

• NRTL Engagement: Build relationships and coordinate test and certification efforts with Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories (e.g., TUV, UL, CSA) to secure certifications while advocating for interpretation favorable to Amperesand.

• Documentation Ownership: Develop and maintain compliance documentation including test plans, technical construction files, declarations of conformity, and certification roadmaps.

• Test Planning & Witnessing: Oversee and perform pre-compliance testing, witness formal certification testing, and support root cause analysis for any failures.

• Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with the compliance manager, product team, system architects, and safety engineers to ensure clear alignment between system features and regulatory deliverables.

• Compliance Strategy Development: Shape a long-term strategy for global certifications (e.g., CE, UL, UKCA) that supports modular deployment, software updates, and evolving grid codes.

• Continuous Learning: Track evolving standards and codes; share summaries and implications with internal teams.

• Perform any other duties as assigned by the People Manager or required by the business to support team and organizational goals.

Qualifications:

• Experience: 5+ years in regulatory engineering or compliance roles in power electronics, embedded systems, or capital equipment.

• Standards Expertise: Proven experience applying and interpreting UL 1741-SB, UL 2877, IEC 60730, IEC 62477, IEEE 1547, and/or other international grid interconnection or safety standards.

• Test Lab Collaboration: Hands-on experience working with third-party labs (e.g., UL, TUV, Intertek, CSA) for product certification and compliance negotiation.

• Documentation & Process: Skilled in producing compliance documents, test procedures, and certification plans.

• Regulatory Navigation: Strong grasp of North American and IEC-based product compliance ecosystems, including listing, labeling, marking, and conformity requirements.

• Technical Acumen: Ability to read electrical schematics, firmware logic, and system diagrams to trace regulatory impacts across the product.
