Heron Power is building next-generation power electronics to accelerate grid modernization and electrification. As Technical Program Manager, you will own end-to-end technical execution of the company's first product launch—a cutting-edge power conversion platform (inverters and rectifiers for large-scale renewables and storage integration).
This is a hands-on, technically deep role. You will translate system-level architectural goals into structured engineering milestones across concept, design, validation, and manufacturing launch. You will drive coordination between power electronics, firmware/software, systems integration, test, and reliability teams, ensuring hardware and control-software roadmaps stay tightly aligned and interface risks are actively managed.
Key responsibilities include: owning program planning and execution across hardware design, embedded firmware, controls, test, reliability, compliance, supply chain, and manufacturing; partnering with technical leads to define product requirements and validation strategies; facilitating technical design reviews (architecture, design readiness, validation readiness) with sufficient depth to surface real risks; managing engineering BOM strategy and NPI readiness; establishing DFMEA-driven risk management; and fostering a "no surprises" culture by proactively surfacing technical and execution risks early.
You will need a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (power electronics focus preferred) or equivalent technical depth, plus 5+ years leading complex multidisciplinary engineering programs involving power electronics, embedded firmware, or tightly coupled hardware-software systems. Strong technical foundation in power electronics systems, converter architectures, control strategies, and system-level tradeoffs is essential. You must have demonstrated ability to work deeply with firmware/software teams, drive programs from concept through validation and manufacturing, understand DFM principles, and distill complex technical programs into clear risks and priorities for engineering and leadership. Experience in fast-moving startup environments with high ownership and minimal process overhead is required.
Nice-to-have qualifications include hands-on experience designing or validating inverters/rectifiers, power electronics simulation tools (PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink), embedded firmware development for power electronics, BOM ownership and PLM systems, UL/IEC compliance familiarity, and proficiency with Enovia PLM or CATIA.
