Reliability Engineering Lead

Reliability Engineering LeadHeron 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. 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. This is a strategy-setting role, not just an execution role—you define reliability requirements and set corporate-level goals rather than apply an existing process. You'll have the challenge to build and scale a reliability engineering function as Heron grows, rather than executing within one that's already established. You own the full arc from physics to business outcome—mission profiles ? ALT plans ? field data ? warranty terms—closing the loop between design assumptions and real-world performance. We have a short list of must-have requirements. We prioritize a strong grip on first principles, hands-on skills, and a sense of initiative. Domain-specific knowledge and experience will help determine the career level for each hire.

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. Heron Power provides competitive compensation (salary and equity) and benefits.
