Staff Multidisciplinary Designer

What to Expect
Heron Power Electronics is a company building cutting-edge power electronics products 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 sustainable electrification of everything.
Our first goal is to build better converters to connect large-scale renewables, storage, and loads like datacenters to the grid. Heron Power's leadership team is made up of seasoned veterans who have designed and shipped gigawatts of power conversion products.
We believe great design is an important part of building great technology. Our products are physical machines, digital interfaces, tools, environments, documentation, and a brand—and the experience of Heron is shaped by all of them.
We understand that no one individual knows everything. We learn together, build together, and solve difficult problems from first principles. You can expect to work in a fast-moving, deeply technical environment where designers work directly with engineers, operators, customers, and leadership to turn complex technology into products and experiences that are clear, useful, thoughtful, and distinctly Heron.
Job Overview
We are looking for a Staff Multidisciplinary Designer to help shape the products, experiences, and visual language of Heron Power Electronics.
This is a broad design role with industrial design at its center , spanning physical product design, product UX, visual communication, and brand. You might spend one project developing the form, architecture, interfaces, and details of a new power electronics product; another improving how an operator interacts with a product; and another creating the creating graphics, infographics, environmental elements, or documentation that make complex ideas clear.
You will work closely with the Head of Design and leadership across mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, manufacturing, software, commercial, and more. You'll move fluidly between defining a problem, exploring concepts, prototyping solutions, developing production-ready designs, and working with partners to bring them into the world.
As a Staff-level designer, you will be expected to operate with a high degree of autonomy, take ownership of ambiguous design problems, establish a strong point of view, move quickly from thinking to making, and help raise the quality and coherence of design across Heron.
How You Will Contribute
- Drive industrial design efforts across Heron's power electronics products, from early architecture and concept development through detailed design and production.

- Work directly with mechanical, electrical, thermal, manufacturing, and systems engineers to understand technical constraints and turn them into thoughtful product solutions.

- Explore product architecture, proportion, form, materials, finishes, interfaces, serviceability, manufacturing processes, and details.

- Build quickly and think through making—using sketches, CAD, physical prototypes, renderings, mockups, animations, and whatever tools best address the question at hand.

- Help define how people physically interact with Heron products, including installation, operation, service, access, controls, labeling, status communication, and safety.

- Contribute to digital product UX where physical and digital experiences intersect, working with software teams to make complex systems understandable and intuitive.

- Develop clear visual communication for complex technical ideas through diagrams, information graphics, presentations, product graphics, documentation, and other storytelling tools.

- Extend and evolve Heron's visual identity across products, spaces, digital experiences, events, and communications.

- Establish design systems, principles, and patterns that create consistency across an expanding family of Heron products and touchpoints.

- Advocate for the user while balancing engineering pe
