→

→
Own test architecture and coverage strategy from PCBA through full system
→
Design and build high-power test cells including bidirectional sources, regenerative loads, HV measurement chains, protection systems, and safety interlocks
→
Develop automated test sequences (power cycling, efficiency mapping, transient response, fault injection, protection validation)
→
Drive Design-for-Test (DFT) with hardware and firmware teams
→
Own fixture design, instrumentation integration, automation software (strong Python preferred), deployment, and long-term sustainment
→
Continuously improve yield, debug speed, and test reliability in a production environment

This is a high-agency role. The test systems you build will directly determine how fast Heron can iterate, validate, and ship products.

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent practical experience)
Strong experience designing and delivering automated test systems for high-voltage / high-power electronics (inverters, converters, or similar)
Demonstrated end-to-end ownership of test systems — from concept and architecture through deployment and sustainment
Hands-on expertise with instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, electronic loads, DAQs, DMMs)
Strong Python experience for test automation (preferred) or deep experience with LabVIEW/TestStand + willingness to go deep on Python
Solid fundamentals in circuits, power electronics, and high-voltage safety
