Reliability Engineering Lead

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

Reliability is at the core of our company and everything we design. We stand behind our products with a full lifetime warranty across all applications—a commitment that only holds up if reliability is engineered in from first principles, not bolted on at the end.

As our Reliability Engineering Lead, you will drive reliability-by-design across Heron Power’s power electronics products—from concept through field deployment—grounded in Physics of Failure (PoF) and Design for Reliability (DFR) principles rather than generic stress screening. You’ll set reliability strategy at the corporate level and partner across Electrical, Mechanical, Firmware/Software, Quality, Product, and Commercial teams to ensure it’s designed in at every level, from warranty terms through lifecycle cost of ownership.

HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE

- Define product reliability requirements, balancing target reliability and failure-rate metrics against cost, schedule, and manufacturability constraints

- Set reliability strategy and goals at th...
