This role rewards people who are comfortable going deep, asking hard questions, and bridging disciplines., * Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering (power electronics focus strongly preferred) or equivalent demonstrated technical depth * 5+ years leading complex, multidisciplinary engineering programs, ideally involving power electronics, embedded firmware, or tightly coupled hardware-software systems * Strong technical foundation in power electronics systems, with the ability to understand converter architectures, control strategies, and system-level tradeoffs well enough to guide execution * Demonstrated ability to work deeply with firmware/software teams, including understanding control loops, timing constraints, interfaces, and hardware-software dependencies * Experience driving programs from concept through validation and manufacturing launch, including prototype builds and design iterations * Strong grasp of DFM principles and the realities of building, testing, and scaling power electronics hardware * Proven ability to distill complex technical programs into clear risks, decisions, and priorities for both engineering and leadership audiences * Comfortable operating in a fast-moving startup environment, with high ownership, ambiguity, and minimal process overhead * Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence across engineering, operations, and leadership teams, * Hands-on experience designing, validating, or debugging inverters, rectifiers, or other high-power conversion systems * Experience with power electronics simulation and modeling tools (PLECS, MATLAB/Simulink) * Familiarity with embedded firmware development for power electronics or control systems * Proficiency with BOM ownership, PLM systems, change management, and NPI processes * Experience with UL / IEC compliance for power conversion equipment * Familiarity with Enovia PLM, CATIA, or similar tools * Proficiency with Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence) or similar technical program management platforms 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. ## Description As Technical Program Manager for Heron Power's next-generation power conversion platform, you will own the technical execution of the product roadmap from architecture through manufacturing launch. This role is intentionally hands-on and technically deep. You will work directly with power electronics, firmware/software, systems integration, test, and reliability teams to translate architectural intent into executable plans, surface technical risks early, and ensure tight coordination and execution. You are not just tracking schedules - you are expected to understand converter architectures, firmware control strategies, system-level tradeoffs, and validation requirements well enough to drive meaningful technical conversations, challenge assumptions, and help teams converge on sound decisions. This is a high-visibility role with real ownership, where you will help build Heron Power's execution model and "no surprises" culture from the ground up. How You Will Contribute * Own and drive the end-to-end technical execution of Heron Power's first product launch, translating system-level goals into structured, engineering-driven milestones across concept, architecture, validation, and launch * Drive deep coordination between power electronics, firmware/software, and systems integration teams, ensuring hardware and control-software roadmaps are tightly aligned and risks at the interfaces are actively managed * Lead program planning and execution across hardware design, embedded firmware, controls, test, reliability, compliance, supply chain, and manufacturing, with a clear plan of record and critical-path ownership * Partner with technical leads to define product requirements, validation strategies, and decision gates, ensuring design tradeoffs are explicitly documented and understood across teams * Facilitate and contribute to technical design reviews, including architecture reviews, design readiness reviews, and validation readiness reviews, with sufficient depth to surface real risks * Own engineering BOM strategy and NPI readiness, working closely with power electronics engineers and supply chain to balance performance, cost, availability, and manufacturability * Establish and track DFMEA-driven risk management, ensuring risks across design, firmware behavior, system integration, and manufacturing are identified, mitigated, and retired * Be the steward of a "no surprises" culture: proactively surface technical and execution risks early, drive clarity, and ensure issues are addressed before they become program-blocking failures * Act as a force multiplier across the organization - increasing engineering velocity, reducing ambiguity at interfaces, and raising the bar on execution discipline without slowing innovation ## Related Videos - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Engineering/Manager Pendulum: Generating compound interest on your career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100348-engineering-manager-pendulum-generating-compound-interest-on-your-career) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [A call for Guest Writers for the WeAreDevelopers Magazine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/648-a-call-for-guest-writers-for-the-wearedevelopers-magazine) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [From developer to manager – what does it take to become an engineering manager?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/42-from-developer-to-manager-what-does-it-take-to-become-an-engineering-manager)
