The ideal candidate brings deep experience designing power infrastructure for data centers, including power conversion, distribution, and system-level architecture. This individual will influence platform direction across internal engineering teams, hyperscale customers, and ecosystem partners.
Skills/Experience Needed:
- 10 - 15+ years of experience in power architecture or power systems design
- Extensive experience designing power infrastructure for data center platforms
- Demonstrated expertise in Grid-to-Chip power architecture and high-power rack systems
- Strong background in power electronics and system-level power delivery design
- Proven ability to influence system architecture decisions across cross-functional teams
- Experience working with hyperscale data center operators, server OEMs, or infrastructure vendors
- Deep knowledge of data center power architecture and infrastructure
- Experience designing Grid-to-Chip power delivery systems
- Expertise in AC-DC and DC-DC conversion architecture
- Experience with UPS systems, power distribution units (PDUs), rack power shelves, and busbar architecture
- Strong understanding of high-power rack architectures for hyperscale and AI workloads
- Familiarity with server and accelerator platform power delivery requirements
- Understanding of high-speed compute platforms, CPGPUs, and system architecture implications on power delivery
- Knowledge of modern data center technologies, including: PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, InfiniBand, NVMe / NVMe-oF
- Ability to evaluate system-level power efficiency and reliability tradeoffs
Responsibilities:
- Define and drive end-to-end data center power architecture spanning utility/grid interface, UPS systems, power distribution, rack-level power shelves, and board-level voltage regulation.
- Lead the development of next-generation Grid-to-Chip power delivery strategies for hyperscale and AI/HPC data center platforms.
- Architect high-efficiency power conversion and distribution systems supporting modern compute platforms with rapidly increasing power density requirements.
- Collaborate closely with system engineering, product management, silicon partners, and hyperscale customers to define future power infrastructure needs.
- Translate AI, cloud, and high-performance computing workload trends into power infrastructure requirements at the facility, row, and rack levels.
- Drive reference power architectures and system design guidelines for next-generation data center platforms.
- Evaluate and optimize AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion topologies, including centralized, distributed, and intermediate bus architectures.
- Lead trade-off analysis across efficiency, scalability, reliability, and cost to determine optimal system power architecture.
- Develop architectural strategies supporting emerging high-power racks (100kW+), AI clusters, and advanced accelerator platforms.
- Collaborate with internal and external teams to develop proof-of-concept systems and reference designs validating new power delivery approaches.
- Provide technical leadership across engineering teams and influence product roadmaps aligned with evolving hyperscale infrastructure requirements.
- Stay current on industry trends in data center power systems, high-efficiency conversion technologies, power distribution architectures, and power delivery innovations.
