The Mac Systems Power Delivery Architect joins the Mac System Power Delivery Architecture team as a multidisciplinary, cross-functional lead engineering role focused on power delivery across Mac computer systems. This position involves providing architectural guidance and leadership to define product requirements, conducting system-level partitioning and tradeoff analyses, and defining mixed-signal power ICs from initial investigation through implementation. The architect will perform design simulations, calculate control loop stability, conduct peak power measurements, and author system architecture specifications. Key technical expertise includes power electronics, PMICs, DC-DC, DC-AC, and AC-DC voltage regulator topologies, as well as magnetic design and PCB layout. Candidates must possess knowledge of mixed-signal silicon processes, verification tools, and back-end flows while addressing critical performance metrics like efficiency, power density, cost, and carbon footprint for high-volume production computing systems.
