The grid was once called the "supreme engineering achievement of the 20th century." But that was 100 years ago. With the increase in renewables, EVs, battery storage, smart meters, climate change, extreme weather events, blackouts, grid instabilits, this amazing feat of infrastructure is in desperate need of an upgrade.

This is the beginning of an energy evolution – and we are looking for amazing people to build the next phase of electricity consumption.

At Amperon, we combine AI technology with deep energy expertise to deliver best-in-class forecasting software (for those not in the energy space, accurate forecasting is essential for a balanced grid to ensure your lights stay on). But that’s just to start. We’re also at the forefront of creating a platform that utilizes cleantech to support a more sustainable and reliable grid for the future.

If you are interested in how energy and technology can shape our future infrastructure, or are super curious about solving complex issues that will have a lasting impact, come join our team!
