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 de-bottleneck 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’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 environment, driven by first principles engineering, solving difficult problems—with a strong bias toward hands-on execution and learning by doing. JOB OVERVIEW You will build and operate the test infrastructure we use to validate grid-tied converters across the full product lifecycle — from system architecture and integration through reliability validation and manufacturing test at scale. This role owns a meaningful slice of the development loop: test system design, test execution, data analysis, failure isolation, verified fixes, and the software platforms that automate and orchestrate it all. You will uncover real design and process failures by running physical tests and building automated equipment, data workflows, and AI-driven execution systems. We prioritize a strong foundation in first principles, practical skill, and a bias toward getting things done. We care as much about how you work as what you already know. HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE Test Software, Automation, and AI Agents - Contribute to our software test infrastructure for system integration and reliability testing — test architecture, hardware abstraction layers, and resu
