$158,000 - $222,000 USD yearly
Support AI accelerators, servers, and networking platforms focusing on digital multiphase power and power modules.
Originally posted 11 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role leads a team of power supply FAEs supporting AI accelerators, servers, and networking platforms for strategic AI and hyperscaler customers. Operating as a player/coach, the position balances hands-on ownership of datacenter power programs with the technical development of the FAE team.
What you'll do
- Serve as the senior technical interface for strategic datacenter accounts, driving system-level power architecture engagements from concept through production.
- Provide technical leadership on digital multiphase power, power modules, and server-class power delivery architectures for AI accelerators, CPUs, and networking platforms.
- Perform hands-on technical reviews, schematic and layout feedback, validation planning, bring-up, power sequencing analysis, and transient response evaluation.
- Troubleshoot complex power issues using lab instrumentation including oscilloscopes, current probes, electronic loads, and transient analysis tools.
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of power supply FAEs, guiding resource allocation across accounts and supporting career development.
- Partner with Sales, Product Line, and Marketing teams to translate customer power requirements into product feedback and roadmap input.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
- Significant prior experience as a Field Applications Engineer with hands-on responsibility for power supply or power management products.
- 8+ years of experience in power electronics, digital multiphase power delivery, server or AI platform power, or related hardware systems.
- Deep technical expertise in power modules, digital multiphase controllers, VRMs, and high-current, low-voltage conversion for datacenter platforms.
- Lab-based debug skills including use of oscilloscopes, current probes, electronic loads, and transient response analysis.
- 2+ years of people leadership experience in a team lead, supervisory, managerial, or equivalent player/coach role.
Nice to have
- Experience supporting hyperscale datacenter customers such as cloud service providers or AI accelerator companies.
- Expertise in system-level power architecture for AI or ML accelerators, CPUs, or high-end networking platforms.
- Familiarity with PMBus, telemetry systems, and digitally controlled multiphase power solutions.
- Strong cross-functional leadership experience working with Product Line, Marketing, Sales, or Systems Engineering organizations.
