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
The Systems Team at Heron unite the systems engineering, integration, reliability, testing, and failure analysis into a cohesive group across the design lifecycle of our products. Our goal is to be the technical conscience of the product — mastering how it works, why it works, and how it can fail — and setting new standards for architecture, integration, and validation in our industry.
As a System Integration Engineer, you will carry the system through integration milestones and own the full system end-of-line test that proves it, from first article bring-up through every release, including compliance with grid requirements.
This role owns the loop from: integration build → full system end-of-line test → failure analysis → firmware and hardware fix → firmware regression on every release → grid compliance and site commissioning.
HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE

What Makes This Role Different
This role owns the question of how ready the system really is. You build and run the full system end-of-line test yourself, you carry the system through each integration milestone, and you drive the firmware and hardware changes that close the gaps, all the way through grid compliance and site commissioning. If you want direct ownership over whether a unit or a release is proven end to end, this role is built for that.
WHAT YOU WILL BRING
We prioritize first principles thinking, hands-on skill, and initiative over keywords. Domain-specific experience will help determine the career level for each hire.
