Hardware Senior Principal Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, architecture, and analysis of high-current, low-voltage DC power-distribution systems (1 kW–100 kW+) for AI server and rack-scale platforms
• Develop rack-level power-delivery components such as power shelves and battery interfaces, focusing on safety, thermal performance, and electrical integrity
• Perform advanced simulations for current density, thermal behavior, electromagnetic/inductive/resistive effects, and EMI/EMC in high-current applications
• Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, thermal, and architecture teams to deliver manufacturable, scalable designs and support rapid prototyping
• Document designs, drive trade studies, and contribute to product strategy for next-generation AI server power-delivery platforms

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field)
• 10+ years of experience in high-power electrical system design (e.g., EV power paths, industrial/UPS systems, or high-current DC/HV distribution)
• Expertise in designing high-current DC bus bars, power shelves, and high-power distribution assemblies
• Strong experience with high-current PCB design, including heavy-copper layouts and >100 Amps trace design
• Deep understanding of UL/IEC safety standards, creepage/clearance requirements, and power-system protection principles

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with rack-scale or server-level power architectures and AI server design constraints
• Hands-on experience with rapid prototyping, custom bus-bar fabrication, or HV system bring-up
• Proficiency with multiphysics simulation tools (Ansys, COMSOL) and power-system modeling (SPICE/PLECS)

Benefits

• Comprehensive healthcare programs
• Award-winning financial wellness tools and resources
• Generous leave of absence for new parents and caregivers
• Industry-leading wellness platform
