Job Description
Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide lowlatency highspeed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
The mission of Project Kuipers Government Solutions (KGS) team is to leverage existing Kuiper technology and provide high speed low latency and secure satellite broadband services to the United States and our allied government customers.
The Senior Power Electronics Engineer will play a pivotal role in the team delivering innovative and fastpaced analysis and design solutions focusing on satellite and ground system design and analysis as well as on the design of the various communication and control needs (compute storage data transfer etc. of the power electronics subsystems. They will be expected to lead a variety of tasks from schematic design and component selection circuit analysis and simulation to layout review and board bringup and test. They will work across teams and support fellow engineers with design reviews and the preparation of joint reports and proposals. The candidate will have a sharp focus on the specific needs of the customer and be able to conduct trades and analyses to show that proposed solutions will meet the customers goals.
The successful candidate will have demonstrated experience working on complex programs with a diverse set of talented individuals as well as with partner organizations (including government agencies). The candidate will exhibit the potential to lead small subteams of electrical engineers and be able to prepare easytoread and technically compelling written reports.
This position requires that the candidate selected be a U.S. Citizen in order to comply with U.S. governmentimposed requirements related to the nature of the work and/or where it will be performed.
Key job responsibilities
Interact directly with customers to understand technical requirements and translate them into technically robust solutions backed by data and analysis.
Responsible for electrical circuit design (including digital and analog power) for hosting sensitive RF and communications payloads including processing memory and communication buses.
Strong technical background and work experience designing electronic circuits including Analog Power circuits for power and delivery with filtering voltage/current protection and IR drop considerations.
Strong technical background and work experience designing electronic circuits including switch mode power supplies (SMPS) buck/boost converter linear regulators AC/DC and DC/DC converters.
Design using different DC/DC converter topologies including: buck boost flyback currentmode voltagemode and various feedback mechanisms.
Analyze designed circuits using software tools for performance and characterization including Power Integrity (PI) and Power Distribution Networks (PDN) on fabricated Printed Circuit Board (PCB) designs.
Identify top level customer requirements and ensure high quality and innovative designs are pursued.
Perform electrical design and layout trade studies for electrical and power subsystems contributing to overall system architecture including inputs and requirements from cross discipline teams.
Facilitate cost trades on multiple parallel configurations for cost/manufacturability vs design uncertainty.
Deliver wellwritten documentation reports and presentations for technical design reviews and as part of proposal efforts.
Design and support test campaigns both development and qualification/acceptance for space hardware.
This position requires the candidate be a US Citizen.

7 years of experience in hardware development across the full product life cycle (concept to production)
7 years of electrical engineering work experience in Space Aerospace/Defense Automotive and/or Communications fields or combination thereof
7 years of experience with schematic and layout ECAD tools and with PCB design and debugging
Masters or PhD degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related discipline
Experience with complex board designs such as highspeed interconnects highreliability designs avionics vehicle control systems and/or motor & actuator control electronics
Experience in development and test of satellite bus systems and space/flight hardware
Electronics design/qualification experience with radiation environments or radiation tolerant hardware
Experience with rapid iteration prototyping and joint hardware/firmware development; partnering with software engineers to bringup and test new hardware designs
Experience with analysis to define the spacecraft electromagnetic environment including radiated and conducted emissions and susceptibility (RE/CE/RS/CS) to inform design and test of spacecraft
Working knowledge of at least one programming language such as Python or C/C
Track record of successfully delivering compelling written reports and complete designs on time to scope with high quality
High sense of ownership urgency and drive; resourceful and able to deliver results with minimal direction
Excellent oral and written communication skills
