Principal Power Delivery Engineer - AI System

Core Responsibilities

• Power architecture.
• Define end-to-end power delivery architecture for AI/GPU platforms, including 48V/54V direct conversion, intermediate bus, VRM/PMIC topologies, and point-of-load regulation for high-current rails.
• VR and PDN design.
• Design and specify multiphase voltage regulators, select power stages, controllers, inductors, and capacitors, and drive PDN design in partnership with SI/PI and layout teams to meet impedance, transient, and IR-drop targets.
• Efficiency and telemetry.
• Optimize conversion efficiency, thermal footprint, and power density; define power sequencing, telemetry, and protection strategies in coordination with firmware/BMC teams.
• Validation and bring-up.
• Lead power bring-up and validation across EVT/DVT/PVT, including load-line, transient, efficiency, and reliability testing; correlate bench results and drive corrective actions.
• Cross-functional leadership.
• Guide board designers, thermal, mechanical, and firmware teams on power-related trade-offs, set design methodology, and mentor engineers on power delivery best practices.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Experience: 10+ years of power delivery / VRM design experience for servers, GPU platforms, or high-power electronics, with proven delivery of high-current designs into production.
• Technical expertise: Deep knowledge of DC/DC conversion, multiphase VR design, 48V/54V architectures, PDN design and analysis, magnetics, and power component selection; experience with power simulation and bench characterization (electronic loads, oscilloscopes, thermal tools).
• Systems knowledge: Understanding of power sequencing, telemetry, protection, and the interaction of power delivery with thermal, SI, and firmware/BMC domains.
• Communication: Able to lead trade-off discussions and clearly present power architecture decisions to technical leaders and customers.
