About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Own rack power architecture and requirements for high-power AI supercomputing systems
  • Drive design and supplier development of power shelves, rectifiers, PSUs, PMCs, busbars, connectors, and protection circuits
  • Review electrical designs and control behavior and evaluate performance, cost, reliability, and availability trade-offs
  • Define and execute component, shelf, and rack qualification plans
  • Partner with firmware and software teams to define and validate PMC functionality, telemetry, alarms, power sequencing, power capping, and fault handling
  • Characterize rack power under representative AI workloads and translate demand into design margins, protection settings, energy-storage needs, and deployment requirements
  • Establish fleet rack power health metrics and analyze telemetry, event logs, and failure trends
  • Lead lab and fleet debugging across power hardware, firmware, and system interfaces
  • Reproduce failures, identify root causes with suppliers, validate corrective actions, and improve designs and qualification tests
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, thermal, firmware, manufacturing, reliability, and data center teams through prototype builds, qualification, production, and deployment
  • Drive supplier test reviews, manufacturing test coverage, and closure of power-related issues
  • Evaluate emerging rack power technologies, including higher-voltage DC distribution and battery or supercapacitor energy storage
  • Partner with suppliers and safety and compliance teams to qualify solutions and address product requirements

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • At least 10 years of industry experience in power electronics or power delivery systems
  • Hands-on design and qualification of high-power rack or data center power systems
  • Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Strong knowledge of AC/DC rectifiers, power shelves, PSUs, and DC distribution
  • Knowledge of three-phase inputs, power conversion topologies, control-loop stability, current sharing, redundancy, protection coordination, and high-current busbars and connectors
  • Experience defining and qualifying PMCs or related power controllers
  • Experience with telemetry, fault management, hardware–firmware integration, and PMBus, I²C, CAN, or Ethernet interfaces
  • Strong laboratory and debugging skills using oscilloscopes, power analyzers, programmable AC sources, electronic loads, and data acquisition systems
  • Ability to build automated tests and analyze fleet telemetry with tools such as Python
  • Experience driving root-cause investigations through verified corrective actions
  • Experience taking power products from requirements through qualification and production with suppliers and cross-functional teams
  • Familiarity with safety, EMC, and reliability qualification
  • Experience with high-density AI racks, OCP power architectures, or energy-storage systems is a plus
  • Candidates may need to meet certain legal status requirements under U.S. export control laws and regulations
