High-power RF and pulsed power systems for fusion, accelerators, and broadcast
Ampegon designs bespoke high-voltage and RF power electronics for fusion reactors, particle accelerators, medical therapy systems, and broadcast infrastructure. The tech stack—VHDL, FPGA, Siemens PLC, PSPICE, Simulink—reflects deep embedded systems and power electronics engineering. Active projects center on test facility construction, quality system development, and last-buy initiatives, while pain points cluster around customization complexity, compliance tracking, and post-sales order fulfillment, suggesting a shift toward standardization and operational rigor as the company scales beyond prototype-stage projects.
Ampegon Power Electronics AG, founded in 2019 and based in Baden, Switzerland, engineers high-power RF amplifiers, high-voltage power supplies (from CW to multi-megawatt pulsed), and shortwave transmitters up to 500 kW. The company serves fusion energy programs (electron cyclotron resonance heating, neutral beam injection), particle accelerators (LINACs, synchrotrons, free-electron lasers), proton and hadron therapy centers, broadcast operators, defense and space observation systems, and industrial heating applications. Part of Cocchi Technologies—a 14-company industrial group with 850+ employees and manufacturing across Italy, Germany, France, U.S., China, Mexico, and Switzerland—Ampegon operates as a specialized division delivering end-to-end support from engineering and factory testing through commissioning, service, and system upgrades.
Java, VHDL, C, Python, Siemels PLC, PostgreSQL, Linux, Docker, Git, Jenkins, Nexus, FPGA, SAP, Simulink, PSPICE, Creo, and IGBT—covering embedded systems, power electronics simulation, PLM, and CI/CD.
Internal framework and quality system development, construction of test facilities, development of test methods, last-buy initiatives, customized high-voltage/high-current solutions, and commercial expansion implementation.
