Full Job Description
WHAT TO EXPECT Heron Power is a startup company building cutting-edge power electronics for the 21st-century grid. We aim to debottleneck the growth of electricity generation and consumption with scalable, innovative, and less costly hardware solutions, accelerating the electrification of everything. Our first goal is to build better converters (inverters & rectifiers) to connect large-scale renewables, storage, and loads to the grid. Heron Power’s leadership team is made up of seasoned veterans who have designed and shipped gigawatts of power conversion products over the past decade. We understand that no one individual knows everything. We will all learn a lot together and from each other. We strive to build a collaborative, enriching environment conducive to personal, technical, and career growth. You can expect to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment, driven by first principles engineering, solving difficult problems. JOB OVERVIEW As a Power Electronics Intern, you will work alongside a team of experienced engineers to design, develop, and validate cutting-edge medium-voltage power electronics systems. This role offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with real hardware, contribute to key product development initiatives, and deepen your understanding of high-voltage systems, power converter architectures, and control systems. You will be exposed to all stages of the hardware development lifecycle—from concept and modeling to prototyping and testing—while collaborating cross-functionally with teams in firmware, mechanical design, validation, and manufacturing. This internship is ideal for students passionate about power electronics and excited to build scalable, efficient, and reliable energy systems that will shape the future of the grid. HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE What You Will Bring We have a short list of must-have requirements. We prioritize a strong grip on first principles, hands-on skills, and a sense of initiative. Domain-spec
