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.

- Lead industrialization and supplier development across welding, injection molding, die casting, brazing, fabrication, plastics, sheet metal, busbars, cold plates, tooling, and potting/encapsulation processes.

- Drive tooling development and qualification, including molds, dies, fixtures, and production equipment.

- Contribute to the evaluation of new or alternative materials and manufacturing processes for improved design, manufacturability, reliability, or cost reduction.

- Identify and drive cost reduction activities through process, material, tooling, yield, and manufacturing optimization.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING

MUST HAVE REQUIREMENTS

- 8+ years of experience in supplier development, supplier quality, manufacturing engineering, supplier industrialization, or a related field.

- BS degree in mechanical, manufacturing, industrial, materials engineering, or demonstrable equivalent experience and exceptional ability.

- In-depth knowledge of mechanical manufacturing processes and supplier industrialization, with demonstrated experience taking components from design through production.

- Skilled in detailed drawing reviews, GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, metrology, and statistical data analysis techniques including SPC, DOE, and sampling plans.

- Comprehensive understanding of quality management systems and standards such as ISO 9001 and PPAP.

- Demonstrated ability to independently assess supplier manufacturing capabilities, identify process risks, and drive corrective actions through production.

- Willingness to travel domestically and internationally often with short notice.

NICE TO HAVES

- Prior experience in manufacturing and/or process engineering focused on welding, injection molding, die casting, brazing, fabrication, plastics, sheet metal, busbars, cold plates, tooling, and potting/encapsulation processes.

- Experience with power electronics, power conversion, thermal management, or other complex electromechanical products.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
