Power electronics hardware for renewable energy and grid infrastructure
Heron Power designs and manufactures power conversion systems (inverters, rectifiers, converters) for renewable energy, storage, and datacenter applications. The company is heavily engineering-focused—46 of 62 active roles are engineering positions across mid and senior levels—and is actively scaling manufacturing and test infrastructure. Projects span converter design, automated testing, and mass-manufacturable enclosure parts, while pain points reveal a pre-revenue or early-revenue hardware startup: building test infrastructure from scratch, factory readiness, and preparing for first audit.
Notable leadership hires: Factory Infrastructure Lead
Heron Power, founded in 2024 and based in Scotts Valley, California, develops power electronics hardware to accelerate the electrification transition. The company targets large-scale renewables, battery storage, and datacenter applications, addressing the need for more efficient and scalable power conversion infrastructure. With 51–200 employees and 62 active job openings, the organization is in an intense scaling phase. Core technical work centers on converter and inverter design (using CATIA, LTspice, Altium, and SCADA), with parallel efforts to establish manufacturing operations, automated test systems, and supply-chain readiness.
Primary tools include CATIA (CAD), LTspice and Altium (electrical design), SCADA (industrial control), Python, SQL, R, and Power BI. The stack reflects hardware-first product development with embedded systems (RTOS) and data analytics.
