Job Summary
Design high-density, board-mounted power supplies and Point-of-Load converters by optimizing footprint, efficiency, and thermal performance through advanced packaging and high-frequency switching. Develop finite element analysis models to simulate electromagnetic, thermal, and mechanical behavior, then validate designs via physical testing with prototype teams and suppliers. Create custom simulation tools and scripts to automate workflows for consistency and efficiency.
Required Qualifications
- Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Microelectronics, or Material Science with a research focus on integrated power electronics (PwrSiP / PwrSoC)
- 4–6+ years of industry experience in power solutions, specifically in power magnetics and modules with deep understanding of data center power systems and all relevant power topologies
- Demonstrated success in high-frequency, Package-level (IVR/FIVR), Board level (VRM/TLVR/isolated DC-DC) power module, System-level design of power delivery architectures for data center
- Proficiency in the design of high-density inductors/planar transformers (LLC, HSC, etc.), with the ability to judge manufacturing and process feasibility
- Solid knowledge and experience of advanced packaging technologies, substrate/assembly manufacturing methodologies, PCB/substrate-embedding fabrication process (plating, PTH processes, and solid copper pillar electroplating for substrate embedded passives)
- Strong knowledge of Silicon / LV GaN and hands on experience with stress, thermal and electrical modeling analysis and tools
- In depth understanding of high-frequency magnetic material behavior, loss modeling, and reliability testing
- Experience with FEM multi-physics simulations (COMSOL), including coupled electro-thermal-mechanical analysis
- Familiarity with high-frequency magnetic material characterization (permeability, core loss density, and saturation constraints in the 5MHz+ range)
- Fluency in written and spoken English
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with manufacturing/prototyping PCB/substrate-embedded magnetics & power module packaging
- Agile thinking, with the ability to think outside the box and propose flexible, diversified solutions
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
