 * Proficiently operate electronic test equipment, including programmable DC power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, and thermal cameras to validate design performance.
 * Hands-on Skills: Strong manual soldering and rework skills. Ability to use basic shop tools for mechanical modifications.
 * Power Electronics Knowledge: Understanding of power converter topologies (LLC, DAB, PFC) and the control algorithm for soft-switching and hard-switching converter.
 * Manufacturing Knowledge: Understanding of the advanced PCBA fabrication processes (stack-up design, copper weight, plating, via technologies) and DFM rules.

## Description

As a System Engineer, you will own the system development of high-voltage power converters - from power system architecture, power distribution box (PDBs) to intelligent power integration platforms. You will work at the intersection of power electronics, embedded firmware, and system architecture to deliver high-efficiency solutions that support the rapidly evolving power demands of AI data center., * Project Developing & Prototyping: Responsible for the project development of intelligent system integrations on AI data center, including project execution, system prototyping, debugging/testing and end customer support.

 * Lab Evaluation & Testing: Lead test benches setting up, conducting debug, performing hardware verification, and executing the test plan of high voltage power modules (DC/DC modules), hotswap and PDBs.
 * High-Performance PCB Layout: Lead and execute multi-layer PCB designs for high-voltage and high-power density data center solutions, ensuring optimal placement and routing for signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management.
 * Documentation & Library Management: Create and maintain schematic symbols and PCB footprints according to industry standards (IPC); manage Gerber files and manufacturing documentation (BOM, SCH, Layout files).
 * Collaboration: Work closely with system architecture, mechanical and thermal experts to implement layout constraints and mechanical requirements. Communicate with manufacture and suppliers to resolve DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) issues.
 * Support customer engagements by providing technical expertise and helping to demonstrate high performance products to end customers.
