Senior Power Electronics Engineer, Amazon Leo Power Team

Job ID: 3127838 | Amazon Kuiper Manufacturing Enterprises LLC

Overview

This is a fast paced and challenging position where you will be working on power electronics designs that are used on the Amazon Leo Satellite. Your power designs must meet requirements in terms of efficiency, size, mass, thermal performance and survive challenging environments with high reliability.

Key Responsibilities

• Design power electronics prototypes, including component selection, schematic capture, and layout.
• Own efficiency, mass, and cost models for various power electronics designs and investigate different topologies to optimize the system.
• Drive designs through PCBA manufacturing and assembly.
• Perform board bring‑up, testing, design verification, and propose solutions to design issues.
• Collaborate cross‑team to define architecture, requirements and deliver high‑performing, high‑quality power electronics designs, schematics, and PCBA for multiple satellite subsystems.

A day in the life

You will work cross‑team to define architecture, requirements working with multiple teams, and deliver high performing and high quality power electronics designs, schematics, PCBAs for a number of different satellite subsystems.

About the team

You will work closely with peers and stakeholders from within the power team as well as solar array, battery, mechanical, thermal, EE, sensors, actuators and antenna teams to iterate on design and provide optimal solutions for the satellite.

Export Control Requirement

Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
