About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop and design high-efficiency power delivery architectures, including DC-DC converters, switching regulators, and power distribution networks (PDNs).
Ensure power supply designs meet performance, thermal, and cost targets for advanced hardware systems.
Perform detailed power simulations, including load regulation, transient response, efficiency, and thermal performance using tools like HyperLynx, Ansys, SPICE, PLECS, or MATLAB.
Analyze power integrity (PI) and optimize designs for stability and minimal electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Select power components such as power MOSFETs, inductors, capacitors, and controllers based on system requirements and performance goals.
Work with suppliers to source and evaluate new power components for improved efficiency and reliability.
Build, test, and validate power delivery systems on prototypes, using lab equipment like oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and thermal cameras to ensure they meet design specifications.
Diagnose and resolve power-related issues during design, testing, and production phases, addressing failures such as over-temperature, EMI, and voltage regulation faults.
Create and maintain power design documentation, including guidelines, specifications, and test protocols.
