TL;DR · Senior Power Electronics Engineer

Sr. Power Electronics Engineer, Amazon Leo Customer Terminal will join the CT Power Team to design power delivery systems for a portfolio of customer terminals. The role involves owning point-of-load regulator designs, power distribution network analysis, and converter development from simulation through production. Key responsibilities include performing DC drop and AC PDN impedance analysis, defining decoupling strategies, and managing power telemetry solutions via I2C, PMBUS, and SPI interfaces. Candidates will lead architecture trades balancing efficiency, cost, thermal, and performance for both high-volume and high-performance platforms. Required expertise includes designing linear and switching DC-DC converters for SOC/ASIC applications and using PDN analysis tools like Sigrity or Ansys SIwave. The role addresses the technical challenge of providing power systems that meet specific silicon requirements while navigating real-world constraints in a complex hardware environment.

What you'll do

  • Own end-to-end power delivery design including regulator selection, PDN design, and control loop compensation.
  • Lead power architecture trades to balance efficiency, cost, thermal, and performance for various product scales.
  • Perform DC drop and AC PDN impedance analysis to define decoupling strategies and remote sensing solutions.
  • Design, simulate, and build prototype converters while troubleshooting and resolving hardware issues.
  • Develop power telemetry solutions and manage digital interfaces such as I2C, PMBUS, and SPI.
  • Track power budgets with silicon teams to ensure the PDN supports all terminal use cases.
  • Lead design reviews to set technical standards for power delivery across product lines.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, or granted asylum/refugee status for export control compliance.
  • 5+ years of experience designing linear and switching DC-DC Converters for SOC/ASIC/CPU applications.
  • Experience with PDN analysis tools such as Sigrity, Ansys SIwave, or similar.
  • Experience with measurement and debugging of power electronics and PDNs.
  • Experience taking power electronics from concept through production.
  • Experience developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and functional test procedures.
  • Master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or equivalent (preferred); SI/PI co-simulation experience (preferred).
