Heron Power
Software Engineer, Embedded Systems
Heron Power, Scotts Valley, California, United States, 95066
Overview
Software Engineer, Embedded Systems at Heron Power. Join a startup building cutting-edge power electronics for the 21st-century grid. Heron Power is a startup focused on debottlenecking electricity generation and consumption with scalable, innovative, and cost-effective hardware solutions to accelerate electrification. Our first goal is to build better converters (inverters & rectifiers) to connect large-scale renewables, storage, and loads to the grid. Our leadership team has designed and shipped gigawatts of power conversion products, and we foster a collaborative environment focused on personal, technical, and career growth. Location: Mountain View, CA. Compensation ranges from $95,000 to $200,000 per year, plus equity and benefits. This is a full-time role with an entry-level seniority level. What You Will Do
As an embedded software engineer, you will be responsible for developing connected-systems infrastructure and implementing real-time algorithms for power conversion systems. You will also create and maintain validation and CI/CD pipelines. How You Will Contribute
Evaluate embedded compute requirements and microcontroller offerings Implement embedded real-time operating system (RTOS) and microcontroller kernels and peripherals (e.g., PWM, ADCs, comparators, serial communications) Create communication schemas and associated auto-generated code Architect and implement troubleshooting and tracing tools, security features, data historians, and logging pipelines Create CI pipelines including build scripts and test automation Integrate and maintain unit-test and test-automation frameworks Design and maintain over-the-air firmware update, telemetry, and fleet management systems Manage version control, firmware integration, and firmware release processes Collaborate with adjacent teams (circuit-design and power controls engineers) as needed What You Will Bring
We value strong first-principles thinking, hands-on skills, initiative, and domain knowledge. The exact career level will be shaped by experience. Must-Have Requirements
Strong knowledge of embedded C Familiarity with bootloaders and real-time operating systems (RTOS) Experience with build systems and CI/CD pipelines Nice-to-Haves
Experience with real-time dynamic control systems Familiarity with simple power conversion topologies Experience writing safety-critical firmware Electronic circuit design experience Front-end software experience for engineering tools Familiarity with FPGA programming and/or ASIC design Experience in high-volume production and support 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.
