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’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

As a Regulatory Compliance Engineer, you will be the bridge between regulatory standards and innovative product design. You’ll identify and interpret compliance requirements, design, develop and execute tests to validate regulatory specifications, and ensure our products achieve certifications to seamlessly enter global markets.

How You Will Contribute

• Research, interpret, and apply compliance requirements from UL, IEEE, IEC, ISO, FCC and other bodies to support product listings and new market entries.

• Partner with engineering leads across the product lifecycle to embed compliance into product architecture and design, bringing first-principles-informed, can-do creativity

• Develop and execute compliance test plans, including identifying/building test infrastructure and resources.

• Build tools - hardware simulation models, data interpretation scripts and test automation to enhance the test lifecycle

• Debug failures and drive design solutions in collaboration with engineering teams

What You Will Bring

We have a short list of must-have requirements. We prioritize candidates with a strong grip on first principles, hands-on skills, and initiative to own hard problems.

Must-Have Requirements

• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or equivalent OR Bachelor’s degree with two years of relevant work experience

• Strong foundation in electrical engineering principles, power systems and power electronics

• Hands-on experience with test automation using Python, LabVIEW, or embedded scripting for power hardware validation.

• Interpretation skill to digest requirements and convert to test specifications

• Ability to thrive in ambiguity, relying on your first principles engineering experience to identify creative solutions to hard problems.

• Capability to remain engaged, proactive, and positive under pressure, owning assignments and taking full accountability

• Effective communicator and negotiator with excellent attention to detail.

• Hands on experience designing and operating test equipment and data acquisition systems -oscilloscopes, power analyzers, data loggers, etc.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience in regulatory and compliance certification for solar, wind, battery or other power electronics products

• Familiarity with grid-tied hardware: medium-voltage converters, switchgear, circuit breakers, or protective relays.

• Exposure to manufacturing processes and material selection for high-power assemblies (e.g., busbars, potting, conformal coating, HV connectors).

• Power systems modeling knowledge

• Experience interfacing with NRTLs

• Involvement in Laboratory Quality Management System Development

• Working experience with UL, IEC, ISO standards

If you are passionate about technology and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, we would love to hear from you. Join us in accelerating the electrification of everything at Heron Power.
