What to Expect
Heron Power is a startup company 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 less costly hardware solutions, accelerating the electrification of everything.
Our first focus 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 over the past decade.
We understand that no one individual knows everything. We will all learn a lot together and from each other. We strive to build a collaborative, enriching environment conducive to personal, technical, and career growth. You can expect to work in a dynamic and collaborative environment, driven by first principles engineering, solving difficult problems.
Job Overview
As a Compliance Engineering Intern, you will be the bridge between regulatory standards and innovative product design. You’ll identify and interpret compliance requirements, design, develop and execute tests to validate regulatory specifications, and ensure our products achieve certifications to seamlessly enter global markets.
How You Will Contribute
EMC
-
Run conducted and radiated emissions pre-compliance on real power hardware (LISN, spectrum analyzer, near-field probes, current probes) against CISPR 11 / FCC Part 15.
-
Find where the noise comes from (dv/dt, common-mode paths, parasitic capacitance, cable resonances) and help fix it with filters, layout, grounding and shielding.
-
Correlate measurements with simulation (LTspice, Q3D/SIwave, HFSS) so we can predict emissions before we build.
Product safety
-
Apply UL 1741, UL 9540, IEC 62477 and IEC 62109 to real designs: creepage and clearance, insulation coordination, dielectric (hipot), ground fault detection and temperature rise.
-
Write engineering justifications, and prepare test plans and evidence packages for our certification lab (NRTL).
Across all areas
-
Automate test setups and data acquisition in Python.
