The Voltage Regulator (VR) Architect joins the Power Delivery Team to define and drive next-generation power delivery solutions for AI, HPC, mobile, automotive, and data center platforms. This role involves designing architectures for voltage regulators and power conversion systems, ranging from 48V/12V input rails to sub-1V silicon loads. The architect will lead the development of multiphase buck converters, PMICs, integrated voltage regulators (IVRs), and switched-capacitor converters while optimizing for efficiency, transient response, and thermal performance. Key technical competencies include power electronics, analog and mixed-signal circuit design, control theory, loop compensation, and power delivery networks (PDNs). The role requires expertise in DC-DC converter design and advanced technologies like FinFET, GAA, and backside power delivery to solve complex power conversion challenges across system, package, and silicon levels for high-current applications.
