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 a Senior/Staff Software Engineer, you will contribute to building scalable Connected Systems software, including telemetry pipelines, fleet management, system fault analysis, diagnostics, configuration management, and secure firmware updates for grid-connected energy systems. You will participate in design, build, and operation of key components of Heron Power's Connected Systems platform. You'll work across edge devices, cloud infrastructure, data pipelines, backend services, and user-facing applications used to monitor, diagnose, and operate grid-connected energy systems. You will own meaningful components and services, contribute to production-critical capabilities, and collaborate closely with embedded, hardware, test, manufacturing, and frontend engineers to help deliver reliable, secure, and scalable end-to-end systems. We're looking for a hands-on engineer who builds production software, solving complex distributed systems problems, and working across multiple engineering disciplines. You have experience delivering substantial software systems and owning technical outcomes from component design through operation. Why This Role Is Different This role owns critical components of larger software platform that enables smart functionality across Heron products and systems. You will create software that will run on energy-critical infrastructure deployed in challenging environments with limited connectivity and limited access. You will contribute to enabling Heron Care - industry first support and maintenance program ensuring continuous unit operation and supportability for extended periods of time. You will work on data systems that capture fleet-scale telemetry since device inception through decades of field operations. How You Will Contribute Core Responsibilities * Build scalable backend services and data platforms for industrial IoT deployments. * Build telemetry ingestion, processing, storage, and analytics pipelines supporting fleet monitoring and system fault analysis. * Develop services and workflows for diagnostics, remote troubleshooting, asset lifecycle tracking, and over-the-air firmware updates. * Implement APIs, event-driven services, and data models that enable reliable integration across Connected Systems, Firmware, Manufacturing, and System Test. * Contribute to software quality through code reviews, testing strategies, observability, and operational excellence. Collaboration * Work closely with embedded software engineers on Cabinet Gateway integration, telemetry collection, and firmware management. * Collaborate with Manufacturing and System Test teams to improve data availability, traceability, and operational workflows. * Partner with DevOps and infrastructure teams on CI/CD, deployment automation, and observability. * Support development of customer-facing tools and dashboards for monitoring system performance and health. * Share technical input with engineering leadership on roadmap and prioritization decisions.
