WHAT TO EXPECT

Heron Power is a startup 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 cost-effective hardware and software 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.

We believe no one person knows everything. We learn together, build together, and solve hard problems from first principles. You’ll work in a fast-moving, deeply technical environment where ownership and impact are real.

JOB OVERVIEW

As a Senior/Staff Software Engineer, you will contribute to building scalable Connected Systems software, including telemetry pipelines, fleet management, system fault analysis, diagnostics, configuration management, and secure firmware updates for grid-connected energy systems.

You will participate in design, build, and operation of key components of Heron Power's Connected Systems platform. You'll work across edge devices, cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, backend services, and user-facing applications used to monitor, diagnose, and operate grid-connected energy systems.

You will own meaningful components and services, contribute to production-critical capabilities, and collaborate closely with embedded, hardware, test, manufacturing, and frontend engineers to help deliver reliable, secure, and scalable end-to-end systems.

We're looking for a hands-on engineer who builds production software, solving complex distributed systems problems, and working across multiple engineering disciplines. You have experience delivering substantial software systems and owning technical outcomes from component design through operation.
