• Develop advanced power supply solutions to support high-power AI workloads and next-generation networking platforms.
• Design and optimize multi-phase power delivery solutions for low-voltage, high-current applications.
• Create power conversion architectures that translate 48V rack power (OCP-style infrastructure) into the lower voltages required by high-power ASICs.
• Perform PCB power integrity analysis, including IR drop and power loss analysis, and optimize power distribution networks using simulation tools.
• Support power delivery design for large BGA packages, ensuring proper current distribution and thermal performance.
• Lead testing, validation, and debugging power supply designs to ensure performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across ASIC, Mechanical, Thermal systems, and infrastructure engineering to deliver robust power solutions.
• Evaluate and adopt emerging power technologies relevant to AI hardware and data center infrastructure.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of industry experience in electrical engineering or power electronics.
• 5+ years of hands-on power supply design experience.
• Strong knowledge of high-efficiency DC-DC conversion architectures.
• Experience with power electronics simulation tools (e.g., SPICE or equivalent).
• Deep understanding of control loop design and stability analysis.
• Expertise in multi-phase power design for high current loads specifically for vertical power delivery applications.
• Experience designing power delivery systems for high-power ASICs or large BGA devices.
• Knowledge of PCB power integrity, IR drop analysis, and PDN optimization.
• Familiarity with AI hardware platforms, data center infrastructure, or HPC systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with 48V rack power architectures (OCP or similar).
• Experience designing power solutions for AI accelerators, GPUs, or high-performance ASICs.
• Knowledge of thermal considerations and system-level power management.
• Experience supporting hardware bring-up and manufacturing validation.
