## About the Role

* Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
 * Experience: 10+ years of power delivery / VRM design experience for servers, GPU platforms, or high-power electronics, with proven delivery of high-current designs into production.
 * Technical expertise: Deep knowledge of DC/DC conversion, multiphase VR design, 48V/54V architectures, PDN design and analysis, magnetics, and power component selection; experience with power simulation and bench characterization (electronic loads, oscilloscopes, thermal tools).
 * Systems knowledge: Understanding of power sequencing, telemetry, protection, and the interaction of power delivery with thermal, SI, and firmware/BMC domains.
 * Communication: Able to lead trade-off discussions and clearly present power architecture decisions to technical leaders and customers.

Compensation: $ 214,000 to $290,000

## Description

* Power architecture. Define end-to-end power delivery architecture for AI/GPU platforms, including 48V/54V direct conversion, intermediate bus, VRM/PMIC topologies, and point-of-load regulation for high-current rails.
 * VR and PDN design. Design and specify multiphase voltage regulators, select power stages, controllers, inductors, and capacitors, and drive PDN design in partnership with SI/PI and layout teams to meet impedance, transient, and IR-drop targets.
 * Efficiency and telemetry. Optimize conversion efficiency, thermal footprint, and power density; define power sequencing, telemetry, and protection strategies in coordination with firmware/BMC teams.
 * Validation and bring-up. Lead power bring-up and validation across EVT/DVT/PVT, including load-line, transient, efficiency, and reliability testing; correlate bench results and drive corrective actions.
 * Cross-functional leadership. Guide board designers, thermal, mechanical, and firmware teams on power-related trade-offs, set design methodology, and mentor engineers on power delivery best practices.
