Sr. Staff Power Module Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design high-current, high-density power modules for CPU/GPU/xPU core power and AI server power delivery applications.
• Collaborate with package engineers and IC designers to develop advanced packaging solutions integrating ICs, inductors, and capacitors.
• Conduct PDN extraction for module packages to assess power path losses and switch-node ringing.
• Design inductors per module and silicon pinmap, working with vendors to bring concept designs to production.
• Build and run module thermal models to ensure components remain within maximum operating temperatures.
• Partner with validation teams to debug power modules and perform bench characterization for efficiency, thermal, and transient performance.
• Support design-for-manufacturing (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) activities.

Requirements

• BSEE or MSEE with 5+ years of hands-on power electronics design experience.
• Strong experience designing high-current, high-frequency DC-DC converters, specifically multiphase buck architectures.
• Hands-on experience in PCB layout for high-current-density and high-frequency applications.
• Proficiency with design and simulation tools including Cadence/Altium Designer, SIMPLIS/SIMetrix, Q3D/PowerSI/Maxwell, and Flotherm/Icepak.
• Proven ability to debug complex power circuits through lab measurement and root-cause analysis.
• Strong collaboration skills to work across IC design, packaging, reliability, and manufacturing teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Direct experience designing power modules, VRMs, or highly integrated power solutions.
• Deep understanding of power stage design and magnetics for high-current applications.
