Senior Engineer, Power Systems Design - Data Center GPU

Job Title

Senior Engineer, Power Systems Design - Data Center GPU

Role Summary

Join AMD's MI Platform Power Design Team to architect, design, and verify power converters and power delivery networks for data-center GPUs and high-performance compute platforms.

Location: Austin, TX. This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Experience Level

Senior-level.

Responsibilities

Design, validate, and support power delivery for high-performance GPU/SoC platforms; collaborate across functions to move architecture into silicon and board implementations.

• Architect, design, analyze, and verify power systems and full power delivery networks (PDNs) for high-performance CPUs/GPUs/APUs.
• Model and validate PDN impedance and voltage-droop targets; verify power-supply integrity via lab and in-silicon measurements.
• Provide component selection guidance and detailed PCB/layout recommendations during design execution.
• Develop system-level validation test plans and procedures; characterize design margins for power domains.
• Collaborate with SoC and system architects, board validation teams, and external partners to drive power-delivery technology decisions.
• Run feasibility studies, perform solution trade-offs, and translate architecture into system and silicon implementations.
• Mentor and technically review work produced by junior power engineers.

Requirements

Core technical skills and hands-on experience required for successful performance in this role.

Must-have

• Proven understanding of power supply architectures and PDN for server, OAM, or PCIe environments.
• Printed circuit board design experience and familiarity with PCB layout trade-offs for power delivery.
• Hands-on experience with multi-phase buck/buck-boost regulators, PMICs, LDOs, charge pumps, and power-stage components.
• Experience with schematic capture and PCB design tools (examples: OrCAD, Allegro).
• Experience with analog circuit modeling and simulation tools (e.g., Simplis, PSpice, HSpice).
• Solid knowledge of control theory: closed-loop compensation, stability analysis, and phase margin.
• Proficiency using lab equipment (oscilloscope, electronic load, function generator) and performing measurements.
• Ability to develop system-level test plans and validate power design margins.
• Experience mentoring or guiding junior engineers.

Nice-to-have

• Working knowledge of 2D/2.5D EM simulation tools such as Sigrity PowerDC/PowerSI or SiWave.
• Experience in high-frequency magnetics design for power electronics.
• Familiarity with AMD's SVIx power-management interface.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering (Master's preferred) as stated in the posting.
