TL;DR · Power System Engineer

Power System Engineer, Amazon Leo is an electrical systems engineering role focused on the satellite power system for a low Earth orbit satellite network. The engineer will own requirements, trade studies, and simulation analysis to optimize performance, quality, and cost. Day-to-day responsibilities include building electrical models of the satellite power system, developing capabilities to assess solar array power generation across various orbital parameters, and managing simulations to analyze vehicle power demand in different modes. The role involves performing trade studies to influence the architecture and sizing of solar arrays, batteries, power conversion, and distribution blocks. Candidates should possess experience in simulation, modeling, and requirements definition for electric power systems. Required technical skills include proficiency in Matlab or Python for processing large datasets, along with knowledge of orbital mechanics, coordinate transformations, control systems, and robotics.

What you'll do

  • Own requirements, trade studies, and simulation analysis for the satellite power system.
  • Build electrical models of the satellite power system to assess solar array generation across various orbital parameters.
  • Create and manage simulations to analyze vehicle power demand in different operating modes.
  • Conduct trade studies to optimize performance and influence system architecture.
  • Determine sizing for solar arrays, batteries, power conversion, and distribution blocks.
  • Translate technical constraints into actionable specifications for hardware and software teams.
  • Process and store information from large datasets using Matlab or Python.

What we're looking for

  • Candidates must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.
  • 3+ years of engineering experience in electrical power systems or power electronics.
  • 3+ years of experience in simulation, modeling, and requirements definition for electric power system development.
  • Working knowledge of Matlab or Python to process information from large datasets.
  • Experience with solar, battery, electric vehicle, drone, satellite, or rocket power system design.
  • Knowledge of orbital mechanics, coordinate transformations, control systems, and/or robotics.
  • Ability to communicate technical requirements clearly across cross-functional hardware and software teams.
