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!
Location: Onsite, Reno, NV Department: IT Employment Type: Full Time About the Role We're looking for a Staff Network Engineer to
take ownership of network infrastructure across both our company facing systems and our product environment. This is a high
impact, high visibility role: you'll be a key voice in shaping our internal product network design and in building the network
architecture that will carry the company through its next phase of growth and scale. You'll work across corporate IT and product
infrastructure, which means your day to day will range from designing switching and wireless architecture for our offices to
architecting the network backbone that supports our product's underlying infrastructure. This is a role for someone who wants to
build foundational systems, not just maintain them. What You'll Do • Design, implement, and maintain network infrastructure
supporting both corporate/company facing environments and product infrastructure • Serve as a technical lead on internal product
network design, partnering with engineering, security, and operations teams to align network architecture with product
requirements • Architect network solutions that scale with the company, anticipating growth in headcount, locations, and product
infrastructure demands rather than reacting to it • Design, deploy, and manage Cisco and Meraki network environments, including
switching, wireless, security appliances, and SD WAN • Build enterprise grade network infrastructure from the ground up in new or
greenfield environments, including physical office builds, data center connectivity, and cloud network integration • Establish
network standards, documentation, and best practices to ensure consistency and repeatability as the organization scales • Lead
capacity planning and license/hardware lifecycle management across the network estate • Own network security fundamentals in
partnership with security teams: segmentation, firewall policy, VPN/AutoVPN design, and access control • Troubleshoot and resolve
complex, high impact network issues across LAN, WAN, and wireless environments • Evaluate new
technologies, vendors, and architectures, and make recommendations that balance cost, performance, and scalability • Mentor other
engineers and act as a technical escalation point for network related issues What We're Looking For • 7+ years of experience in
network engineering, with demonstrated progression into senior or staff level scope • Hands on experience building and managing
Cisco and Meraki network environments (switching, wireless, security appliances, SD WAN/AutoVPN) • Proven experience building
enterprise network infrastructure from the ground up, standing up networks in new environments, not just administering existing
ones • Strong understanding of routing and switching fundamentals, VLANs, network segmentation, and WAN architecture • Experience
designing networks that support both traditional corporate IT environments and product/technical infrastructure • Familiarity with
network security principles: firewalls, VPN architecture, zero trust concepts, and access control • Experience with capacity
planning and architecting for scale in a growing organization • Strong documentation habits and the ability to communicate
technical designs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders • Relevant certifications preferred (CCNP, CCIE, Meraki
certifications, or equivalent experience) Nice to Have • Experience with data center or colocation network design • Exposure to
cloud networking (AWS, Azure, or GCP VPC/VNet architecture) • Experience with network automation and infrastructure as code
tooling • Background supporting physical security/access control systems integration with network infrastructure Why This Role
Matters
As the company grows, our network is the foundation everything else runs on, from the tools our employees use every day to the
infrastructure behind our product. This role isn't just about keeping the lights on; it's about designing the architecture that
lets us scale confidently, securely, and without rework down the line.
