About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own system development of high-voltage power converters, from power system architecture and power distribution boxes (PDBs) to intelligent power integration platforms
Design, develop, and optimize multi-kW intelligent system products, including high-voltage PDBs, DC/DC modules, and intelligent power for AI data centers
Debug, test, bring up, and troubleshoot system prototypes in the lab, including hands-on measurement and root-cause analysis
Perform system modeling, simulation, validation, and troubleshooting to ensure robust system performance
Develop power modules and system products through electrical, thermal, and mechanical integration of DC/DC controllers, power stages, GaN or SiC devices, and protection solutions
Design isolated power solutions and magnetic components to meet performance, safety, efficiency, and EMI requirements
Implement high-voltage power management and protection functions, including hot-swap controllers, DC/DC converters, and power-stage solutions
Collaborate with silicon, firmware, software, and validation teams to deliver fully integrated and tested lab solutions

Requirements

What you’ll need

M.S. or above in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a closely related field
3+ years of industrial experience in project development for power converters (DC/DC, AC/DC, or inverter systems)
Understanding of power converter topologies including LLC, phase-shifted full bridge, DAB, MMC, and interleaved buck/boost
Deep expertise in control design and implementation, including voltage/current mode control, digital compensator design, and dynamic response optimization
Deep expertise in design tools for simulations, such as Simetrix/Simplis, Mathcad, PLECS, or PSIM
Deep understanding of GaN/SiC device characteristics and system benefits
Proven ability to debug and troubleshoot power electronics systems in a lab environment using oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and thermal characterization
Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical concepts to cross-functional teams
Knowledge of datacenter power architectures, including 800V distribution, rack-level power delivery, and battery backup integration, preferred
Experience with FPGA-based control system development (VHDL/Verilog) or FPGA/MCU partitioning for power converter applications, a plus
For positions requiring access to technical data, non-exempt applicants may have to undergo an export licensing review process
Required travel: 10% of the time
