Job Description

Senior Engineer II (Hardware Design)

Job Responsibilities

Define power supply architectures (AC/DC and DC/DC) for data centre servers and rack-level systems, optimizing for maximum efficiency and power density.
Design system power trees, and perform power budgeting calculations. Determine thermal power budget and work with thermal engineers to provide thermal solutions.
Design and select power supply solutions for high DC input voltage from 12-400V to the desired high current low voltages for digital circuitries.
Analyze power supply conversion efficiency, calculate, thermal dissipation, and perform loss budgeting for switching devices, magnetic, and passive components.
Perform schematic capture and guide PCB layouts to minimize EMI/EMC and ensure signal/power integrity.
Conduct rigorous simulations for power conversion efficiency, thermal management, and magnetic design.
Perform board bring-up, characterize designs and validate power consumption against calculated budget, and execute lab testing.
Work with firmware, mechanical and thermal design teams to ensure power supply solutions meet physical and cooling constraints.
Ensure designs meet international safety and regulatory requirements and align with Open Compute Project (OCP) standards.
Work with cross functional and manufacturing team to resolve design issues and to support production problems
Provide technical expertise and consultation to peers
Maintain consistent high quality of engineering design work to develop robust, high performance and cost effective designs and products
Meet project schedules and budgets
Perform additional duties as assigned
