TL;DR · Senior Power Electronics Engineer

Senior Power Electronics Engineer, Amazon Leo Power Team As a Senior Power Electronics Engineer on the Amazon Leo Power Team, you will design power converters for low Earth orbit satellites. You will own the end-to-end development of custom DC-DC converters, including topology selection, magnetics design, control loop compensation, and prototype validation from simulation to orbit. Your daily work involves leading architecture trades regarding efficiency, mass, thermal, and reliability while ensuring EMI/EMC compliance. You will define power specifications, mentor other engineers, and collaborate with mechanical and systems teams to solve complex hardware problems. The role requires expertise in isolated and non-isolated converter topologies, custom magnetics, and simulation tools like LTspice or PLECS. You will apply deep knowledge of Si, SiC, and GaN semiconductor tradeoffs to develop high-reliability power systems for the satellite constellation's critical infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Own the end-to-end design of power converters including topology selection, magnetics design, and control loop compensation.
  • Lead architecture trades to balance efficiency, mass, thermal performance, and reliability for satellite systems.
  • Design, simulate, and build prototype converters while troubleshooting and resolving hardware issues in a lab environment.
  • Define power specifications and interface requirements that govern how various subsystems interact with the power system.
  • Analyze power system interactions to ensure compliance with EMI/EMC standards across all designs.
  • Lead design reviews and establish technical standards for power systems on the satellite.
  • Mentor engineers and provide technical direction to programs integrating your specific hardware designs.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
  • 5+ years of experience designing switching DCDC power converters including topology selection, magnetics design, and control loop compensation.
  • Experience taking power electronics designs from concept through production.
  • Experience with both isolated and non-isolated converter topologies in production hardware.
  • Experience with measurement, troubleshooting, and debugging of power electronics in a lab environment.
  • Experience developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and test procedures.
  • Preferred experience in aerospace, satellite, or high-reliability hardware environments.
