Board Level Power Delivery Design Engineer

Job Title

Board Level Power Delivery Design Engineer

Role Summary

Join Intel's India Customer Engineering team to support Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) in designing and debugging board-level power delivery for Intel Core and Atom processor-based platforms. The role focuses on power-delivery design, PDN analysis, board bring-up, and customer-facing debug support.

Experience Level

Senior - 7 to 12 years of industry experience, with significant experience designing and debugging hardware boards focused on power delivery for Intel Core/Atom platforms.

Responsibilities

Provide technical leadership in board-level power delivery design, validation, and on-site customer support.

• Design and validate multi-rail power delivery networks (buck, boost, multi-phase) for high-current, low-voltage processor rails.
• Perform PDN analysis and power integrity simulations; iterate designs to meet processor power guidelines (IMVP) and PI targets.
• Create and review schematics and multi-layer PCB layouts (8–16 layers) with attention to power delivery and layout rules.
• Lead board power-on, lab bring-up, and systematic debug using lab instruments (oscilloscope, multimeter, electronic load, etc.).
• Analyze failures, triage root causes, and propose corrective design or process actions.
• Provide technical support and training to customers; translate complex technical issues for diverse audiences during site visits.
• Support manufacturing readiness by applying DFM/DFT practices and working with assembly/test teams.
• Travel to customer sites across India (regular travel, up to 40–50%) for design reviews, debug sessions, and training.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and tools for immediate contribution. Education specifics are listed in the Education Requirements section below.

• Proven hands-on experience designing and debugging board-level power delivery for processor platforms (preferably Intel Core/Atom).
• Deep understanding of power delivery requirements, IMVP guidelines, and PDN behavior.
• Experience with control-loop design for voltage regulators and high-current power systems.
• Proficiency with schematic capture and design review tools (Cadence OrCAD, Mentor Graphics xPedition, Altium Designer, or equivalent).
• Experience with power integrity and PDN simulation tools (Cadence Sigrity, Siemens HyperLynx, or equivalent).
• Familiarity with board manufacturing constraints, DFM/DFT, and assembly processes.
• Strong debugging skills during board bring-up and the ability to use lab equipment effectively.
• Good communication skills for customer interactions and technical documentation.
• Nice-to-have: platform/chipset familiarity, EMI/EMC knowledge, JEDEC and USB Power Delivery standards, prior customer-facing experience, and experience producing technical application notes or training materials.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering or a related field.
