Technical Lead Power Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize power conversion circuits, including DC-DC converters, voltage regulators, and power modules.
• Design high-efficiency, high-reliability power circuits including:
• Buck / boost / buck-boost converters
• Multiphase regulators
• Hot-swap, protection, and sequencing circuits
• Design and optimize power delivery for ASICs, ensuring stable voltage and current distribution across the board. Address power integrity challenges such as voltage ripple, noise, and impedance of mismatches.
• Perform power integrity, transient response, stability, and thermal analysis.
• Evaluate and select appropriate power components, such as voltage regulators, capacitors, and inductors, ensuring they meet performance, thermal, and reliability specifications. Also, will be asked to do the same evaluation on overall system level design components.
• Work closely with component vendors to identify and source the best power solutions, ensuring compatibility with our ASIC designs and meeting quality standards.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including firmware, mechanical, and validation engineers, to integrate designs into complete systems.
• Generate and maintain comprehensive design documentation, including Specifications, schematics and BOMs.
• Conduct thorough debugging and analysis of power-related or system level issue utilizing lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and power analyzers to identify and resolve problems.

Basic Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering or related field.
• Experience: 5-8 years of experience in power and board design engineering, with a focus on ASIC or high-speed digital designs.
• Technical Skills:
• Proficiency in Cadence OrCAD and Allegro for schematic capture and PCB layout.
• Strong understanding of power integrity principles and techniques.
• Experience with power component selection and vendor collaboration.
• Hands-on experience with debugging power-related issues using lab equipment.
• Proficiency with lab equipment (oscilloscopes, electronic loads, spectrum analyzers).

Soft Skills

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, and USB.
• Familiarity with electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) considerations.
• Familiarity with Design for Manufacturability (DFM) considerations.
• Experience in thermal management and reliability analysis.
