Amperesand
Overview
Amperesand is disrupting industrial power with the first commercialized Solid State Transformer systems. Solid State Transformers systems are much more than a transformer replacement, enabling numerous advanced features to unlock solutions for data centers, EV charging, renewables, microgrids, and industrial installations. We are looking for mission driven team members passionate about making amazing products for worldwide electrification at maximum acceleration. Amperesand is building a global company and looking for talent across our geographies. Senior Manufacturing Engineer
to help drive excellence in design for manufacturing and process development as we scale our hardware products. You will lead efforts to bring innovative hardware products from concept to production, with a focus on Design for Manufacturing (DFM), process development, and production scalability. You’ll be a critical interface between design, operations, and external manufacturing partners—ensuring our products are robust, manufacturable, and optimized for both performance and cost. Base pay range
$130,000.00/yr - $230,000.00/yr Responsibilities
Lead Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for X (DFx) planning, assembly, quality, and reliability. Define and implement robust manufacturing processes, including process sequencing, critical parameter development, and assembly recipes. Drive quality, repeatability, and throughput in both prototype and production environments. Collaborate closely with Design Engineering, NPI, Quality, and Production teams throughout the product lifecycle. Act as a technical lead to resolve quality and functional issues in production and with contract manufacturers. Develop data-driven action plans and root cause analyses to ensure timely resolution and continuous improvement. Lead the design and validation of novel prototype tooling and assembly equipment with 3rd party equipment builders. Collaborate with equipment design engineers for in-house equipment development. Oversee internal and external development of equipment and processes for new product introduction and scale-up. Support the ramp-up of production lines, resolving technical issues, optimizing process performance, and ensuring lines meet takt time, yield, and labor efficiency targets. Perform line balancing and capacity planning studies to support efficient line layout, equipment utilization, and throughput targets as production scales. Maintain comprehensive process documentation and participate in Engineering Change Management. Drive continuous improvement through data collection, analysis, and feedback loops. Mentor junior engineers and technicians, and manage engineering teams as needed. Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in mechanical, manufacturing, or industrial engineering (or related field). 4+ years of experience in manufacturing engineering with a strong background in DFM, process development, and high-mix or high-volume production. Hands-on experience with manufacturing processes (e.g., injection molding, die casting, machining, assembly automation, potting). Strong background in concept-to-production equipment development. Experience in data collection and analysis for process development or applicable process engineering expertise. Proven ability to lead cross-functional projects and vendor engagements. Strong problem-solving skills and a data-driven mindset. Familiarity with PFMEA, DOE, root cause analysis, and SPC. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Experience working in Agile environments with task management and sprint planning using Scrum; Jira experience preferred. Willingness and ability to travel up to 20%–25%, including internationally. Fluent in English (written and spoken). Preferred Qualifications
Experience with CAD software (3DEXPERIENCE, CATIA, NX, SolidWorks, Creo, etc.). Experience with DFM/DFA methodologies. Solid understanding of GD&T and its impact on manufacturability. Knowledge of motion control, pneumatics, hydraulics, and sensors. Power electronics assembly experience across energy, automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, or consumer electronics manufacturing. Experience in Industrial Engineering optimization and warehouse design. Seniority level
Mid-Senior level Employment type
Full-time Industries
Electric Power Transmission, Control, and Distribution Referrals increase your chances of interviewing at Amperesand. Get notified about new Manufacturing Engineer jobs in Reno, NV. We’re removing unrelated boilerplate content to focus on the role and its requirements.
