About the role

Role owning the board-level power delivery system end to end for multi-kilowatt AI accelerator modules, including DC/DC design, PDN architecture, and collaboration with cross-functional teams and external partners to drive designs from concept to production.

Responsibilities

  • Own the module power delivery system end to end: DC/DC topology and component selection, regulation scheme, and the PCB power delivery network
  • Set power specifications and efficiency targets for high-power ASIC loads; make component and architecture choices against space, thermal, cost, and production-reliability constraints
  • Own PCB physical design of the power path: PDN architecture and optimization, power plane design, stack-up definition, placement analysis, and power circuit layout best practices
  • Define and close power integrity targets through modeling and simulation (DC IR drop, AC impedance, transient response), and correlate simulation against lab measurements
  • Partner with ASIC teams on package/board co-design, including socket and interposer power path, current density, and on-die vs. on-board decoupling allocation
  • Lead board bring-up, validation, and debug of power rails; define measurement methodology for high-current, low-voltage rails
  • Drive design reviews with ODM/CM partners; establish layout and DFx best practices adopted across the broader team
  • Explore and develop leading-edge DC/DC and power delivery technologies (e.g., vertical power delivery, near-die power modules) with industry partners
  • Contribute to design guidelines, review checklists, and tooling that raise the quality bar across ARD

Qualifications

  • BS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, plus 8+ years of hardware power design experience (MS + 6 years, or PhD + 4 years)
  • Multiple complex power designs taken to volume production, with ownership of both the converter design and the board-level power delivery path
  • DC/DC power electronics design experience: specification and requirement setting, topology and component selection, regulation scheme definition, and bring-up/validation/troubleshooting
  • Demonstrated efficiency design practice in high-power systems: setting efficiency targets, component selection for efficiency, and trade-offs under space and thermal limitations
  • Deep hands-on PCB physical design experience: PDN design and optimization, power plane design, stack-up definition, placement analysis, and power circuit layout best practices
  • Power integrity expertise: circuit modeling and simulation used to drive design iteration, with proven simulation-to-lab closure, and knowledge of where/how to measure power effectively in DC/DC designs
  • Experience with high-current, low-voltage rails and the decoupling/noise strategy for large digital loads (ASIC, SoC, GPU, or similar)
  • Proficiency with schematic capture and layout tools, and PI/PDN simulation tools (e.g., Ansys SIwave/Q3D, Cadence Sigrity, or equivalent)
  • Lab proficiency: oscilloscopes, electronic loads, thermal imaging, and measurement techniques appropriate to high-current power rails
  • Track record operating independently on ambiguous problems and driving cross-functional efforts to resolution without guidance
