About this role
Role Overview
Architect and design the power supply and board-level power delivery network (PDN) for accelerator cards and related platforms:
o Define power trees, rails, sequencing, and margining
o Select VRMs, DC‑DC converters, controllers, FETs, magnetics, and protection components
o Investigate PCB technology options and define power delivery strategies for high-current, low-voltage environments
Enable the supply chain and work with suppliers over the full lifecycle
Perform schematic design for power stages and collaborate with layout engineers to ensure proper placement, routing, and copper utilization for high‑current paths.
Work closely with PI/SI engineers on PDN impedance, decoupling strategies, and transient performance.
Specify and guide power-on sequencing, monitoring, and telemetry (PMBus, I2C, etc.).
Conduct lab validation of power subsystems:
o Efficiency, ripple, transient response, stability
o Load/line regulation and thermal performance
Lead debug of power-related issues (e.g., startup failures, droop, noise coupling, OCP/OVP events).
Collaborate with silicon, hardware, system, reliability, and manufacturing teams to ensure design-for-reliability (DFR) and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) of power solutions.
Generate design documentation, test plans, and bring‑up procedures.
Requirements
Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field.
5+ years of experience in board-level power design for high-performance or server-class systems.
Strong understanding of:
o Switching power converters (buck, multiphase, POL regulators)
o Power topologies, compensation, and stability
o High-current layout techniques and loss optimization
Hands-on experience with schematic capture (e.g., Siemens Xpedition) and familiarity with PCB layout constraint definition.
Proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power analyzers, DMMs).
