Staff/Senior Staff Software Engineer
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 focus 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.

This is a hands-on, high-leverage role. You will write production code, design systems that scale from early production into volume manufacturing and raise the engineering bar across the team through architecture, code review, mentorship, and the standards you set. You are expected to own ambiguous, cross-cutting problems and drive them to shipped, reliable software with minimal direction.
You will work shoulder-to-shoulder with hardware, manufacturing, supply chain, and oper...
