Process Engineer

Company Overview

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.

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.

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

Qualifications

• 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, Tableau, or similar
• Familiarity with Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA) and gauge R&R studies
• Experience developing or improving HMIs or factory data systems such as Ignition, SCADA, or MES platforms
• Knowledge of GD&T and its impact on process capability and manufacturability
• Experience with power electronics or electromechanical assembly processes in energy, automotive, aerospace, or consumer electronics manufacturing
• Experience with MES or factory data platforms for process monitoring, alarming, and analysis
• Creative problem-solving mindset with a focus on faster, better, and more cost-effective solutions

Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.

Reno Pay Range

$90,000—$110,000 USD

Please note: This role requires working on-site 5 days a week. We do not offer hybrid or remote options.

Onsite Collaboration Rationale:

Given the highly collaborative and cross-functional nature of hardware, embedded systems, and product development, in-person partnership across engineering and product teams is critical to enabling rapid execution, technical alignment, and successful development outcomes.
