Director, High-Performance Computing Power Modules

Job Title

Director, High-Performance Computing Power Modules

Role Summary

Lead strategy, development, and execution of next-generation power module products for high-performance computing (HPC), AI accelerators, servers, data-center, networking, and other high-power-density systems. Manage a cross-functional global organization including product development, applications engineering, semiconductor technology, packaging, thermal management, reliability, manufacturing, and customer engagement.

Experience Level

Senior. The role requires extensive industry experience; the posting specifies 15+ years of relevant experience in semiconductor, power electronics, power modules, advanced packaging, or related technologies.

Responsibilities

Accountable for product strategy, technical leadership, product development, and customer engagement across the lifecycle from concept to production and market adoption.

• Define and execute long-term HPC power module technology and product roadmaps aligned with market and customer requirements.
• Identify market and technology trends in AI, HPC, GPUs/CPUs, data-center power delivery, and networking to inform product strategy.
• Lead development of next-generation power modules from concept through qualification, production release, and market adoption.
• Set product requirements, technical specifications, development schedules, and performance targets; ensure design-for-manufacturing and design-for-reliability principles.
• Provide technical direction on semiconductor selection, module architecture, thermal management, packaging, interconnects, and system integration.
• Engage and support strategic customers to translate system-level requirements into module-level electrical, thermal, mechanical, and reliability specifications.
• Establish and manage technology partnerships with customers, semiconductor suppliers, and internal R&D.
• Lead technology reviews and evaluate emerging technologies (Si, SiC, GaN, advanced packaging) for commercial applicability.
• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing global engineering organization; recruit, mentor, and develop technical leaders and succession plans.

Requirements

Education details are listed separately below. The bullets here list required and preferred professional experience and skills.

Must-have:

• 15+ years of relevant experience in semiconductor, power electronics, power modules, advanced packaging, or related technology domains.
• Proven experience leading complex, global, cross-functional product development organizations from concept through production.
• Strong technical understanding of power semiconductor devices and power module technologies, including high-power/high-current applications.
• Experience working directly with major customers and technology partners to influence product and system designs.
• Track record of delivering products that meet performance, cost, quality, reliability, and time-to-market objectives.
• Experience establishing development schedules, qualification plans, and manufacturing/process development to support high-volume production.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with advanced semiconductor packaging, thermal management, and cooling technologies.
• Familiarity with MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC, GaN, VRMs, high-current DC/DC conversion, and low-inductance module design.
• Background in HPC/AI/data-center power applications, GPU/CPU power delivery, or cloud infrastructure power systems.
• Experience with electrical and thermal simulation, reliability qualification, and high-volume semiconductor manufacturing.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline. Advanced degree (MS/PhD) preferred.
