About this role

Senior / Staff Embedded Software Engineer Scotts Valley, California, United States What to Expect Heron Power is a startup 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 cost-effective 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's leadership team is made up of seasoned veterans who have designed and shipped gigawatts of power conversion products. We believe no one person knows everything. We learn together, build together, and solve hard problems from first principles. You'll work in a fast-moving, deeply technical environment where ownership and impact are real. Job Overview As a Senior/ Staff Embedded Software Engineer , you will be a key technical force behind Heron's embedded firmware platform - driving architecture decisions, raising the bar on quality and reliability, and delivering high-impact firmware across the full stack of our power conversion products. You'll work closely with the firmware, controls, and cloud teams to define how our converters are operated and monitored at the device level: from RTOS architecture to bootloaders, diagnostics, safety infrastructure, and production firmware processes. This role blends deep hands-on engineering with system architecture and technical leadership. Why This Role Is Different You'll work at the heart of the team building the device brain - close enough to the metal to matter, with enough scope to shape how the platform grows.
