Staff Embedded Systems Engineer – Power Applications

Job Title

Staff Embedded Systems Engineer – Power Applications

Role Summary

Join the Cloud and Data Center Equipment Business Unit to develop and validate next-generation power solutions for hyperscale cloud and AI infrastructure customers. The role combines power electronics, embedded systems, firmware, and customer-facing applications engineering.

Hands-on systems engineering work: evaluate ICs and system solutions, build and validate hardware and firmware, automate lab tests, and engage directly with customers (approx. 20–30% customer-facing).

Experience Level

Senior-level. Minimum 5+ years of relevant industry experience; 7+ years preferred.

Responsibilities

Deliver hardware and firmware evaluations, system analysis, and customer-facing technical support for power management solutions.

• Evaluate and characterize power management ICs and system-level solutions.
• Design, build, and validate hardware evaluation platforms and reference designs.
• Develop and debug embedded firmware for demonstrations and optimization.
• Create tools, scripts, and automated test solutions to improve lab efficiency and product evaluation.
• Support customers with schematic and PCB layout reviews, system bring-up, and troubleshooting.
• Perform system-level analysis, debugging, and optimization of power conversion architectures.
• Generate technical documentation: application notes, reference designs, evaluation reports, and datasheet content.
• Lead or independently execute technical projects and act as a subject matter expert.
• Represent the company in technical engagements with cloud and data center customers.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, hands-on lab experience, and customer communication abilities.

• Minimum 5+ years industry experience in applications engineering, systems engineering, power electronics, embedded systems, firmware development, or related disciplines.
• Strong understanding of power electronics fundamentals and DC-DC power conversion.
• Experience with embedded systems and microcontroller-based development.
• Hands-on laboratory experience with electrical characterization, debugging, and validation.
• Experience designing and troubleshooting PCB-based hardware systems.
• Programming or scripting experience using Python, MATLAB, or similar tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for technical interactions with customers and internal stakeholders.
• Nice-to-have: experience supporting cloud/AI/data center power applications, test/lab automation, power electronics simulation tools (LTspice, SIMPLIS), digital control systems, and leadership/mentoring experience.

Education Requirements

M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field is required (as listed in minimum qualifications).
