Amperesand • Reno, NV

7d • Onsite

About The Position

Amperesand is disrupting industrial power with the first commercialized Solid State Transformer (SST) systems. SSTs are far more than transformer replacements — they unlock advanced capabilities for data centers, EV charging, renewables, microgrids, and industrial installations. To support this mission, Amperesand is building a modern ERP and manufacturing operations software platform that gives our internal teams and external stakeholders real-time visibility, control, and intelligence across the business. We are looking for a motivated intern who wants to build production software across the full stack while learning from a high-agency startup engineering team. This internship is an opportunity to work hands-on with a startup engineering team building the ERP and manufacturing platform that powers Amperesand's operations. You will contribute across both frontend and backend, helping ship new features, improve reliability, and bring AI-enabled capabilities into our internal tools. You will work closely with engineers, product owners, and internal and external stakeholders who rely on our proprietary ERP and manufacturing ecosystem every day. This is a fast-paced, goal-oriented environment where you'll be expected to take ownership of real, production-facing work.
