Power Delivery and Voltage Regulator Validation Engineer – Datacenter
The Power Delivery and Voltage Regulator Validation Engineer joins the Systems Engineering team to ensure robust, efficient, and reliable power delivery on server-class platforms based on Snapdragon SoC. This high-ownership role involves leading power delivery bring-up from first power-on through production readiness, including rail sequencing verification, and defining end-to-end validation strategies for EVT through PVT stages. The engineer will perform hands-on debug of power issues, characterize transient load responses, and conduct thermal characterization of components. Key responsibilities include validating multi-phase voltage regulators and performing PDN impedance measurements. Required skills include proficiency with high-bandwidth oscilloscopes, Eloads, and PMBus/AVSBus protocols, alongside automation scripting in Python, Shell, or TCL. The role addresses critical power integrity challenges for high-performance computing platforms, ensuring stable operation through rigorous testing of control loops, efficiency curves, and load regulation across complex hardware designs.
