Solid-state transformers and AI controls for medium-voltage power distribution
Amperesand designs medium-voltage power conversion hardware and controls for AI datacenters and industrial loads, built on solid-state transformer technology spun out of Nanyang Technological University. The company is in active hardware prototyping and manufacturing scale-up phases: 45 engineering roles span power electronics design, PCB layout, and test systems, while 7 manufacturing staff signal imminent production ramp. Pain points cluster around supply-chain constraints and high-power-density packaging — typical friction points for hardware startups moving from prototype to volume.
Amperesand develops medium-voltage power conversion solutions for critical infrastructure, targeting AI datacenters and industrial electrification. The technology combines solid-state transformers with AI-first software controls and was originated at NTU's Energy Research Institute before being spun out through Xora Innovation. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in Singapore, the company employs 11–50 people and is actively hiring across engineering, manufacturing, and operations. Current work centers on prototype validation, power electronics converter assembly, PCB layout, production tooling design, and test system development — indicating movement from R&D into manufacturing ramp-up.
Hardware design (Altium Designer, SPICE, PLECS, SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Creo), firmware (Go, Rust, C, C++), industrial controls (CAN, RS-485, Modbus, Ethernet, PLCs, SCADA), standards (IEEE 2030.5, OpenADR, ISO/IEC 27001), and testing (oscilloscope, BMS).
