Power Electronics Engineer, Amazon Leo Power Team
Amazon.com
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.
The Power Electronics Design team provides power solutions across the entire satellite, working with hardware programs to deliver designs that end up on 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
-Work directly with hardware design teams across multiple satellite subsystems to define power requirements, interfaces, and power budgets.
-Integrate validated power converter blocks into customer board designs, owning schematic integration and working with the power integrity team on stackup, routing, and decoupling strategy.
-Drive prototype builds through PCBA manufacturing, assembly, and initial validation.
-Conduct and support design reviews for schematic, layout, and thermal considerations.
-Support board bring-up, lab testing, debug, and design verification activities.
-Provide consulting and root cause analysis for power-related issues across programs.
-Maintain block documentation, application notes, and derating summaries.
-Collaborate with the broader power team on standards, tooling, and reusable design assets.
-Support designs through their full lifecycle as needed, from concept through qualification and into production.
-Contribute to new converter development. The team maintains an active pipeline of custom power block designs, and engineers are expected to grow into topology design, magnetics development, and power architecture ownership.
A day in the life
You'll typically support 2-3 programs at different lifecycle stages. One morning you might review a layout for a team integrating a point-of-load converter block, then spend the afternoon debugging a power issue on a board in qualification testing. You'll work closely with mechanical, thermal, and electrical engineering peers on those programs, and with power team colleagues who design the converter blocks you're integrating. As you build expertise, you'll take on more complex architecture and design challenges.
About the team
The Power Electronics Design team owns power across the satellite, from bus architecture and converter design through component qualification and end-to-end design lifecycle support. You'll join a small, high-leverage team where a single block design can cover multiple rails across multiple subsystems, and a single component qualification unlocks it for the entire constellation.
