Job summary

Amazon Leo leads the design of power converters for a high‑throughput satellite network. You will own topology selection, magnetics design, and prototype validation, taking designs from simulation to bench to orbit.

You will collaborate with mechanical, thermal, and systems teams to meet budgets and constraints while mentoring engineers and advancing power electronics across the constellation.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience designing switching DCDC power converters including topology, 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 debug of power electronics in a lab environment.
• Experience in developing functional specifications, design verification plans, and test procedures.

Responsibilities

• Own power converter design end to end: topology selection, magnetics design, control loop compensation, prototype build, characterization, and validation.
• Lead architecture trades that balance efficiency, mass, thermal, and reliability.
• Design, simulate, and build prototype converters; investigate and fix issues.
• Lead design reviews and set the technical bar for power on the satellite.
• Define power specifications and interface requirements for subsystems.
• Analyze power system interactions and EMI/EMC compliance across designs.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical direction to programs.
• Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, and systems teams to meet budgets and constraints.
