Sr. Engineer, Power Systems Design - Data Center GPU

At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. We’re looking for talent who want to leave the planet better than they found it—people who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them. AMD powers the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Every role at AMD contributes to technology that moves the world forward.

About the role

In the MI Platform Power Design Team, we design high-technology platforms for world-class products based on AMD’s Instinct Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Our team plays a major part in architecting and shaping every graphics board offered by AMD. We design cutting-edge power converters for discrete graphics boards that retail around the world, meeting stringent demands for current level, efficiency, and responsiveness to maximize GPU performance in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

Responsibilities

• Support the architecture, design, analysis, and verification of power systems for high-performance CPUs, GPUs, and APUs.
• Work with cross-functional teams to design and implement a full power delivery network, model and validate PDN impedance and droop targets, and verify power supply integrity using lab and in-situ silicon measurements.
• Guide the system design team to provide optimum component selection and detailed layout guidelines during the design execution phase.
• Collaborate with the Board Validation team to develop test plans and procedures for system-level validation and characterization of design margins on power domains.
• Work with SoC and System Architects and external industry partners to drive the latest power delivery technologies and innovations for computers and electronics.
• Analyze and compare solutions, driving team insights and architecture forward into system implementation, SoC silicon, and power delivery silicon.
• Conduct feasibility studies and work with development teams to deliver solutions.
• Technically mentor junior power engineers and verify their design and validation work.

Qualifications

• Proven technical understanding of power supply architectures and PDN in server, OAM, and PCIe environments.
• Understanding of design and validation processes for high-quality and reliable power circuits.
• Experience with multi-phase buck/buck-boost regulators, digital PWM controllers, bus converters, LDOs, PMICs, charge pumps, ADCs & DACs.
• Working knowledge of 2D/2.5D EM simulation tools such as Sigrity’s PowerDC, PowerSI, SiWave, or equivalent.
• Strong knowledge of high-frequency magnetics design for power electronics.
• Printed circuit board design experience is required.
• Expertise in schematic capture and PCB design tools such as OrCAD or Allegro.
• Ability to work with cross-functional teams to make system-level performance trade-offs.
• Excellent knowledge of control theory, closed-loop compensation, stability analysis, and phase margin.
• Proficiency with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and function generators.
• Experience with analog circuit modeling and simulation tools (e.g., Simplis, PSpice, HSpice).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Knowledge of AMD’s SVIx power management interface.
• Bachelor’s or Master's degree (preferred) in Electrical Engineering.
