TL;DR · Staff Board Power Application Engineer

Staff Board Power Application Engineer The Staff Board Power Application Engineer joins the Packaging, Boards and Multiphysics team to develop hardware platform prototypes for System-on-Chip products. This role focuses on designing and optimizing efficient DC-DC solutions, including multi-phase converters, VRMs, and PMICs. You will define board power architectures, analyze power delivery networks (PDN), and perform simulations using tools like SIMPLIS, SPICE, PowerDC, and Ansys SIWave. Day-to-day responsibilities include developing schematics, reviewing PCB layouts for parasitic reduction, and validating solutions in the lab using oscilloscopes and electronic loads. You will collaborate with multi-functional teams to address thermal management, EMI/EMC mitigation, and telemetry requirements via PMBus or SMBus. The role requires expertise in power distribution, buck and boost topologies, and potentially Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW for automation while solving complex power integrity challenges for high-performance compute platforms.

What you'll do

  • Design and optimize DC-DC solutions including multi-phase converters, VRMs, and PMICs for high-performance compute platforms.
  • Develop and analyze board-level power delivery networks (PDN) to ensure robust performance under demanding conditions.
  • Define board power architectures and trees while selecting components to meet efficiency and transient response requirements.
  • Perform PDN simulations and analyses using tools such as SIMPLIS, SPICE, PowerDC, and Ansys SIWave.
  • Develop schematics and review PCB layouts to ensure high-quality power delivery and integrity.
  • Validate and debug power solutions in the lab using oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and load slammers.
  • Assist with customer design-in of VR/PMIC solutions for reference designs and cost optimization.
  • Document technical specifications, test reports, simulation results, and standard methodologies for power solutions.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in power distribution and design.
  • Proficiency in DC-DC converter topologies, PWM controllers, MOSFETs, and power stages.
  • Knowledge of telemetry interfaces such as PMBus, SMBus, and AVBus.
  • Experience with simulation tools including Simplis, SPICE, PowerDC, and Ansys SIWave.
  • Strong knowledge of PCB layout considerations for power circuits and parasitic reduction.
  • Capability in PDN and PI analysis, including dynamic load testing/slamming techniques.
  • Familiarity with lab equipment like oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and power integrity test setups.
  • Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation and thermal management solutions for high-power-density systems.
  • Experience with MCU or FPGA-based prototyping (preferred).
  • Scripting or automation experience using Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar tools (preferred).
