Ascending descending base exponent transform of $2^n$

The primary defining sequence a. $a(n)$ is the ascending descending base exponent transform of $2^n$. $$a(n) = \sum_{i=0}^n 2^{i \cdot 2^{n-i}}$$

def a (n : ) : := i Finset.range (n + 1), 2 ^ (i * 2 ^ (n - i))@[category test, AMS 11] theorem a_0 : a 0 = 1 := a 0 = 1 All goals completed! 🐙@[category test, AMS 11] theorem a_1 : a 1 = 3 := a 1 = 3 All goals completed! 🐙@[category test, AMS 11] theorem a_2 : a 2 = 9 := a 2 = 9 All goals completed! 🐙@[category test, AMS 11] theorem a_3 : a 3 = 41 := a 3 = 41 All goals completed! 🐙@[category test, AMS 11] theorem a_4 : a 4 = 593 := a 4 = 593 All goals completed! 🐙

The smallest primes in this (always odd) sequence are $a(1) = 3$, $a(3) = 41$ and $a(5) = 543$. What is the next prime?
