From Amazon's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Amazon Leo is Amazon's low Earth orbit satellite network. Our mission is to deliver fast, reliable internet connectivity to customers beyond the reach of existing networks. From individual households to schools, hospitals, businesses, and government agencies, Amazon Leo will serve people and organizations operating in locations without reliable connectivity.
In this role you will design the power converters that fly on Amazon Leo satellites. You'll own topology selection, magnetics design, and prototype validation for custom DCDC converters that power the constellation. Your designs go from simulation to bench to orbit.
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.
Key job 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. Your recommendations determine what gets built.
Design, simulate, and build prototype converters. When something doesn't behave, get to the bottom of it and fix it.
Lead design reviews and set the technical bar for power on the satellite.
Define power specifications and interface requirements that govern how subsystems interact with the power system.
Analyze power system interactions and ensure EMI/EMC compliance across designs.
Mentor engineers and provide technical direction to programs integrating your designs.
Work closely with mechanical, thermal, and systems teams to close budgets and solve problems within real-world constraints.
The Power Electronics Design team owns power for the entire satellite. We design our own converters, qualify our own magnetics, and write our own specs. A single converter design can cover multiple subsystems, and a single qualification unlocks a component for the entire constellation. Small team, outsized impact.
The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location.
Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
