Application Engineer

Build the devices that will power sustainable electrification worldwide!

AlpSemiis an industrial deep tech company building next-generation semiconductor power switches.

We are driving a generational technology shift: enabling the large-scale adoption of Solid-State Circuit Breakers, a breakthrough technology set to transform power protection and distribution, much like LEDs transformed lightning and digital cameras transformed photography.

Our technologies address one of the biggest challenges of our time: enabling sustainable electrification at scale byoptimizingpower consumption across global markets such as IA data centers, thereby improving access to electricity worldwide.
