A Power System Operator monitors and controls electrical power generation and distribution to ensure a stable and reliable supply. They use advanced control systems to manage grid operations, balance demand and supply, and respond to outages or emergencies. Operators work in control centers, often on rotating shifts, to oversee real-time power flow and coordinate with other utility personnel. Their role is critical in preventing blackouts and maintaining system efficiency.
Power System Operators require strong analytical abilities, attention to detail, and a background in electrical engineering or a related field, often supported by industry certifications or relevant work experience. Familiarity with energy management systems, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) software, and NERC certifications is typically essential in this role. Effective communication, decision-making under pressure, and teamwork are critical soft skills for excelling as an operator. These competencies ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of power grids, minimizing downtime and maintaining service continuity.
Power System Operators usually work in control centers, which are secure facilities featuring advanced computer systems, large monitoring displays, and communication equipment. Most positions require working in shifts, including nights, weekends, and holidays, since the power grid must be monitored 24/7 to ensure reliable service. Operators frequently collaborate with engineers, field technicians, and other operators to respond rapidly to system disturbances or scheduled outages. This role is fast-paced and requires vigilance, but it offers a dynamic environment where teamwork and real-time problem-solving are highly valued. Many operators find the work rewarding due to its vital role in maintaining critical infrastructure.

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.
A day in the life
You might spend the morning working through magnetics tradeoffs for a new isolated converter, then head to the lab to characterize a prototype you designed. After lunch you're leading a design review, helping a team understand the limits of a converter they're adopting. Then you're back at your desk refining a simulation that caught a thermal issue before it became expensive
The work is varied, technical, and yours.
About the team
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.
