Senior Power Module Electrical Simulation Engineer - Scottsdale, AZ, United States
Originally posted 31 August 2026 by the employer.
This role focuses on power module architectures for AI data center applications.
About the role
This role involves the electrical simulation of power modules for AI data center applications, focusing on new package and system integration.
What you'll do
- Perform power module, package, and system-level integration electrical simulation for AI data center power delivery applications.
- Model electrical-thermal-mechanical interaction for power modules, including SiC and GaN wide-bandgap devices, ISG chiplet, ASG, and 3D integration.
- Extract and analyze parasitic RLC of module layouts, busbars, interconnects, and packaging to minimize switching loss, overshoot, and EMI.
- Perform high-frequency simulation including S-parameter and power integrity/PDN analysis under fast AI compute load transients.
- Conduct electro-thermal co-simulation to predict junction temperatures, current sharing, and hotspots against reliability and derating targets.
- Analyze and correlate modeling results to measured data from power module hardware.
What you'll need
- PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, electrical simulation, or Physics with e-simulation (or Master's degree with 3 years' experience).
- Experience and skills in electrical modeling and simulation at the power module, package, and system level.
- Understanding of power semiconductor devices (SiC, GaN, silicon), switching dynamics, and power loss mechanisms.
- Knowledge and experience of CAD concepts and SolidWorks.
- Familiarity with semiconductor packaging, power module, and system integration.
- Familiarity with FEA software ANSYS HFSS, SIwave, Q3D, Maxwell, and ANSYS Electronics Desktop.
