Systems Engineering Manager - CA, Milpitas, Tasman, United States
$212,520 - $307,740 USD yearly
Originally posted 5 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role involves leading a multidisciplinary team to define, analyze, and deliver power conversion products. The team focuses on integrated DC/DC converter solutions from concept through production.
What you'll do
- Manage, mentor, and grow a team of engineers across Systems, Firmware, Packaging, and Magnetics disciplines.
- Guide DC/DC converter architecture definition, including topology selection, power stage design, and control loop analysis/compensation.
- Oversee firmware requirements and architecture for digital control, telemetry, and system-level communication (e.g., PMBus).
- Direct package engineering efforts for power packages, balancing thermal, electrical, and manufacturability constraints.
- Guide magnetics selection and co-design (inductor/transformer) to meet efficiency, size, and EMI targets.
- Partner with Product Marketing, Design, Test, and Package Development teams to define product requirements and specifications.
What you'll need
- MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- 7+ years of experience in power electronics, including DC/DC converter design and control loop analysis.
- Prior experience leading or mentoring engineers, either as a people manager or senior technical lead.
- Working knowledge of firmware/embedded systems concepts as applied to power management (control algorithms, digital compensation, telemetry).
- Familiarity with power package design considerations (thermal management, parasitic inductance, current sensing).
- Familiarity with magnetics design tradeoffs (core material, saturation, winding losses, integration).
Nice to have
- Experience managing teams spanning multiple engineering disciplines.
- Direct hands-on experience with control loop modeling/simulation tools (e.g., SIMPLIS, MATLAB/Simulink).
- Experience with power module or SiP (System-in-Package) development.
- Track record of taking products from architecture definition through testchip and into production.
