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 Senior Compliance Test Engineer you are responsible for identifying all regulatory and technical hurdles Heron’s products must clear on the path to market. Then, in collaboration with the design engineering team, will demonstrate Heron's products meet or exceed all requirements, achieve all certifications, and successfully enter target markets.
How You Will Contribute
- Interpret UL, IEC, ISO, and other regulatory requirements and translate them into test plans, test procedures, and pass/fail criteria that support Heron’s certification for each product and new market entry.
- Plan and run safety, performance, and environmental compliance testing, including dielectric withstand, partial discharge, impulse, insulation resistance, temperature rise, abnormal/fault, and grid-interconnection tests.
- Run pre-compliance testing in-house to find design issues early and lower the risk of formal certification.
- Coordinate and support witness testing, TPTDP, and CTDP programs with NRTLs and third-party labs, acting as Heron’s technical point of contact during test campaigns.
- Write clear, traceable test reports, data packages, and certification evidence that meet NRTL and ISO/IEC 17025 expectations.
- Design, build, and validate test setups, fixtures, and automation for MV and HV power electronics.
- Find and analyze test failures with design engineering, and drive root cause analysis and corrective action.
