About the role

Power Validation Engineer on the Machine Learning Acceleration team responsible for power-domain validation, DVFS, and power-management across the product lifecycle for next-generation ML accelerators in AWS data centers.

Responsibilities

  • Developing comprehensive power validation strategies and detailed test plans covering sequencing, DVFS, peak power, di/dt, and stress testing from silicon bring-up to product release
  • Characterizing peak power consumption and transient droop under real ML training workloads across PVT corners
  • Conducting hands-on power measurements and debug in the lab using DC power analyzers, current probes, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, and VNA/TDR
  • Validating power management algorithms, DVFS transitions, thermal throttling, and power capping mechanisms on silicon
  • Correlating silicon power measurements against pre-silicon power models and driving model-to-silicon feedback with architecture teams
  • Building automated power regression frameworks, dashboards, and anomaly detection to track power across steppings at scale
  • Collaborating across power architecture, design, firmware, and software teams to triage power anomalies and drive root cause analysis to closure
  • Supporting production systems in AWS data centers and addressing power-related field issues as they arise

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of non-internship professional software development experience
  • 2+ years of non-internship design or architecture (design patterns, reliability and scaling) of new and existing systems experience
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or experience programming with at least one modern language such as C++, C#, Java, Python, Golang, PowerShell, Ruby
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience in power characterization, power delivery validation, or power architecture verification for high-performance digital systems
  • Strong understanding of DVFS flows, power control schemes, peak power management, and di/dt handling techniques
  • Proficiency with power measurement instrumentation: DC power analyzers, current probes, high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, and VNA/TDR for PDN impedance characterization
  • Experience applying data analysis and visualization techniques to interpret power measurement data and drive optimization decisions
