Job ID: 1620589

Job Title: Power Electronics Engineer

DESCRIPTION
This is a fast paced and challenging position where you will be working on power electronics designs that are used on the Project Kuiper Satellite. Your power designs will need to meet tough requirements in terms of efficiency, size, mass, thermal and survive challenging environments with high reliability.

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 hiring group
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.

Job responsibilities
Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

In this role you will be a power electronics engineer in an engineering team responsible for new product development. You will a subject matter expert in the area of power electronics focusing on DCDC power conversion and associated power electronics components.

You will own efficiency, mass and cost models of various power electronics designs and investigate different topologies to optimize the system. You will be responsible for design of power electronics prototypes, including component selection, schematic capture and layout. You will be responsible for driving designs through PCBA manufacturing and assembly, and for board bring-up, testing, design verification and proposing and implementing solutions to design issues.

This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging position, and you’ll work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. You’ll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to improve your products performance, quality and cost. We want individuals who are ready for this challenge and want to reach beyond what is possible today.

Everyone on the team needs to be entrepreneurial, wear many hats and work in a highly collaborative environment that’s more startup than a big company. We will need to tackle problems that span a variety of domains.
