TL;DR · Senior Engineer, Power Systems Design, Data Center GPU

Sr. Engineer, Power Systems Design - Data Center GPU joins the MI Platform Power Design Team to architect and shape graphics boards based on Instinct Graphics Processing Units. This role involves supporting the architecture, design, analysis, and verification of power systems for high-performance CPUs, GPUs, and APUs. The engineer will develop full power delivery networks, model and validate PDN impedance and droop targets, and provide component selection and layout guidelines. Key responsibilities include conducting feasibility studies, mentoring junior engineers, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure system integrity. Required expertise includes multi-phase buck/buck-boost regulators, digital PWM controllers, high-frequency magnetics, and PCB design using OrCAD or Allegro. The role requires proficiency in 2D/2.5D EM simulation tools like PowerSI, analog modeling in Simplis or PSpice, and lab equipment such as oscilloscopes to solve complex power delivery challenges for high-performance computing.

What you'll do

  • Support the architecture, design, analysis, and verification of power systems for high-performance CPUs, GPUs, and APUs.
  • Model and validate power delivery network (PDN) impedance and droop targets.
  • Verify power supply integrity using lab measurements and in-situ silicon data.
  • Provide guidance on component selection and detailed layout guidelines during the design execution phase.
  • Develop test plans and procedures with the Board Validation team to characterize design margins.
  • Conduct feasibility studies and analyze industry solutions to drive power delivery innovations.
  • Mentor junior engineers and verify their technical design and validation work.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (preferred).
  • Proven technical understanding of power supply architectures and PDN in server, OAM, and PCIe environments.
  • Experience with multi-phase buck/buck-boost regulators, digital PWM controllers, bus converters, LDOs, PMICs, charge pumps, ADCs, and DACs.
  • Proficiency with 2D/2.5D EM simulation tools such as Sigrity’s PowerDC, PowerSI, SiWave, or equivalent.
  • Expertise in schematic capture and PCB design tools such as OrCAD or Allegro.
  • Strong knowledge of high frequency magnetics design for power electronics.
  • Experience with analog circuit modeling and simulation tools like Simplis, PSpice, or HSpice.
  • Proficiency with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, eloads, and function generators.
