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 design full power delivery networks, model and validate PDN impedance and droop targets, provide component selection and layout guidelines, and develop test plans for system-level validation. Key technical requirements include experience with multi-phase buck/buck-boost regulators, digital PWM controllers, bus converters, LDOs, PMICs, charge pumps, and high-frequency magnetics. The role requires proficiency in 2D/2.5D EM simulation tools like PowerDC or SiWave, PCB design tools such as OrCAD or Allegro, and analog circuit modeling tools including Simplis, PSpice, or HSpice to solve complex power delivery challenges for discrete graphics boards.
Support the architecture, design, analysis, and verification of power systems for high-performance CPUs, GPUs, and APUs.
Model and validate PDN impedance and droop targets to ensure power supply integrity.
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.
Drive the adoption of new power delivery technologies by collaborating with SoC architects and industry partners.
Conduct feasibility studies and collaborate with development teams to deliver technical solutions.
Mentor junior power engineers and verify their design and validation work.
What we're looking for
Experience with analog circuit modeling and simulation tools such as Simplis, PSpice, or HSpice is required.
Printed circuit board design experience is a must.
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 (preferred).
Understanding of design and validation processes for high quality/reliability power circuits (preferred).
Experience with multi-phase buck/buck-boost regulators, digital PWM controllers, bus converters, LDOs, PMICs, charge pumps, ADCs, and DACs (preferred).
Working knowledge of 2D/2.5D EM simulation tools such as Sigrity’s PowerDC, PowerSI, SiWave or equivalent (preferred).
Strong knowledge of high frequency magnetics design for power electronics (preferred).
