Originally posted 27 January 2026 by the employer — open 238 days.
About the role
This role is responsible for defining, designing, and validating the complete power architecture for rack-scale AI data center products. This involves maximizing power efficiency, scalability, and system performance throughout the entire power delivery path, from the rack level to the chip.
What you'll do
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to bring power solutions from concept to production.
- Develop power specifications, power management strategy, and accurate power estimation models.
- Implement voltage regulator designs that meet silicon and system-level specifications.
- Validate complex voltage regulator designs in the lab during initial silicon bring-up, including rigorous workload testing and measurement.
- Ensure designs adhere to relevant industry standards and regulations, including electrical safety and thermal management.
- Provide technical guidance to other engineers during board and system integration.
What you'll need
- 10–15 years in power design.
- In-depth experience working with high-power architecture topologies (buck DC-DC converters, multi-phase VRMs, vertical delivery).
- Proficiency with modeling tools for transient analysis (Simplis, HSPICE), and CAD tools for schematic entry and layout (Allegro).
- Demonstrated ability in lab bring-up, debug techniques, design validation, and use of common lab equipment.
- Proven track record for delivering shipped products.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with ORV3 HPR, VHDC, and data center power delivery.
- Knowledge of dynamic workload management.
