TL;DR · Senior Hardware Engineer, Power Delivery

The Senior Hardware Engineer, Power Delivery (AI Data Center) joins the Hardware Engineering group to develop a new product line for machine learning inference acceleration in the cloud. This role involves specifying board level power designs, selecting voltage regulators, and performing post-silicon board and SoC test validation to ensure system-level performance metrics are met. Key responsibilities include providing schematic and layout guidance, conducting signal and power integrity analysis, and programming PMICs to orchestrate power sequences. The position requires expertise in power electronics, thermal analysis, and firmware coding using Python. Candidates must utilize tools such as MATLAB, SIMPLIS, Excel, and Mentor Graphics. The work focuses on solving power delivery challenges for high-performance hardware, including multi-phase buck, boost, and LDO regulators for complex SoC environments.

What you'll do

  • Specify board-level power designs, power management products, and voltage regulator selections.
  • Perform power correlation to ensure system-level performance and power metrics are met.
  • Provide schematic and layout guidance to the CAD team and conduct design reviews.
  • Drive internal simulation teams to ensure board design meets signal and power integrity requirements.
  • Program PMIC to orchestrate system power-on and power-off sequences on development platforms.
  • Derive, document, and execute board validation test plans for pre- and post-silicon stages.
  • Bring up and test PCBs using oscilloscopes, meters, electronic loads, and debuggers.
  • Triage system-level problems to determine root causes and analyze test results for design margins.

What we're looking for

  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (preferred)
  • Expertise in power electronics, power management, thermal analysis, or power distribution networks.
  • Proficiency in firmware coding and Python or similar scripting languages.
  • Experience with PCB layout, construction, and industry standard interfaces like DDR, PCIe, and USB.
  • Proficiency with design and simulation tools including MATLAB, SIMPLIS, Excel, and Mentor Graphics.
  • Experience with multi-phase buck, boost, and LDO regulators, crystal oscillators, and precision references.
  • Ability to derive and execute board validation test plans using oscilloscopes, meters, and electronic loads.
