The Senior Power Electronics Engineer, Amazon Leo Power Team, designs power converters for low Earth orbit satellites. This role involves owning the end-to-end design of custom DCDC converters, including topology selection, magnetics design, control loop compensation, prototype build, characterization, and validation. The engineer leads architecture trades balancing efficiency, mass, thermal, and reliability while defining power specifications and interface requirements. Key responsibilities include leading design reviews, analyzing power system interactions for EMI/EMC compliance, and mentoring other engineers. Required skills include experience with switching DCDC power converters, isolated and non-isolated topologies, and lab-based troubleshooting. Preferred technical competencies include custom magnetics design, resonant converters, flyback, forward, and multi-phase topologies, as well as simulation-driven design using LTspice or PLECS and knowledge of Si, SiC, and GaN semiconductors.
