Sr. Power Design Engineer, DC GPU Platform Design - TX, Austin, United States
Originally posted 23 September 2026 by the employer.
AMD’s Instinct Graphics Processing Units (GPU’s)
About the role
This role involves supporting the architecture, design, analysis, and verification of power systems for high performance CPUs/GPUs/APUs. The team designs power converters for discrete graphics boards to maximize performance from AMD’s Instinct Graphics Processing Units (GPU’s).
What you'll do
- Support the architecture, design, analysis, and verification of power systems for high performance CPUs/GPUs/APUs.
- Design and implement a full power delivery network, model and validate PDN impedance and droop targets, and verify power supply integrity.
- Work and guide the system’s design team to provide optimum component selection and detailed layout guidelines.
- Develop test plans/procedures to perform system-level validation for characterizing design margins on power domains.
- Work with SoC and System Architects and external industry to drive power delivery technologies and innovations.
- Technically mentor junior power engineers and verify their design and validation work.
What you'll need
- Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.
- Experience with analog circuit modeling and simulation tools (e.g. Simplis, PSpice, HSpice).
- Printed circuit board design experience.
- Proficiency with lab equipment such as oscilloscope, eload, function generator.
Nice to have
- Proven technical understanding of power supply architectures and PDN in server, OAM, and PCIe environments.
- Understanding of needed design and validation processes to design power circuits for high quality/reliability requirements.
- Understanding and experience with multi-phase buck/buck-boost regulators, digital PWM controllers, bus converters, LDOs, PMICs, charge pumps, ADCs & DACs.
- Working knowledge of 2D/2.5D EM simulation tools such as Sigrity’s PowerDC, PowerSI, SiWave or equivalent.
- Strong knowledge of high frequency magnetics design for power electronics.
- Expertise in schematic capture, PCB design tools such as OrCAD or Allegro.
- Excellent knowledge of control theory, closed loop compensation, stability analysis, phase margin.
- Knowledge of AMD’s SVIx power management interface.
Skills: power converters, power delivery network, buck/boost regulators, digital PWM controllers, control theory, PCB design
