Staff System Architecture and Design Engineer

Data Center & Energy (DCE)

San Jose, CA

About the Role

As a System Engineer, you will own the system development of high-voltage power converters — from power system architecture, power distribution box (PDBs) to intelligent power integration platforms. You will work at the intersection of power electronics, embedded firmware, and system architecture to deliver high-efficiency solutions that support the rapidly evolving power demands of AI data center.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize multi-kW intelligent system products including high voltage PDBs, DC/DC modules and intelligent power for AI data center.
• Own the debug, testing, bring-up, and troubleshooting of system prototype in the lab, including hands-on measurement and root-cause analysis.
• Perform system modeling, simulation, validation, and troubleshooting to ensure robust system performance.
• Develop power modules and system products, including electrical, thermal, and mechanical integration of DC/DC controllers, power stages, wide-bandgap (GaN or SiC) devices, and protection solutions.
• Design isolated power solutions and magnetic components to meet performance, safety, efficiency, and EMI requirements.
• Implement high-voltage power management and protection functions, including hot-swap controllers, DC/DC converters, and power-stage solutions.
• Collaborate with silicon, firmware, software, and validation teams to deliver fully integrated and tested solutions in lab.

Required Qualifications

• M.S. or above in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a closely related field.
• 3+ years of industrial experience in the project development for power converters (DC/DC, AC/DC, or inverter systems), Candidates with additional experience may be considered at the Staff Engineer level.
• Understanding of power converter topologies (LLC, phase-shifted full bridge, DAB, MMC, interleaved buck/boost) and their control requirements.
• Deep expertise in control design and implementation — voltage/current mode control, digital compensator design, and dynamic response optimization.
• Deep expertise the design tools for simulations, such as Simetrix/Simplis, Mathcad, PLECS or PSIM.
• Deep understanding of GaN/SiC device characteristics and system benefits.
• Proven ability to debug and troubleshoot power electronics systems in a lab environment — oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and thermal characterization.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical concepts to cross-functional teams.
• Knowledge of datacenter power architectures — 800V distribution, rack-level power delivery, battery backup integration are preferred.
• Experience with FPGA-based control system development (VHDL/Verilog) or FPGA/MCU partitioning for power converter applications is a plus
