System Engineer - HVDC

Job Title

System Engineer - HVDC

Role Summary

Design and validate high-voltage DC power delivery and high-power-density DC-DC converter systems for data center and hyperscale applications. The role owns system architecture, specification, simulation, and validation while working closely with IC design, magnetics, packaging, thermal, firmware, and applications teams.

Experience Level

Mid-level. No explicit years required; expects established expertise in power electronics and system-level design.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include system architecture, simulation, validation, and customer engagement.

• Define system architectures for high-power-density DC-DC converters, intermediate bus converters (IBCs), and HVDC power delivery solutions.
• Develop power system specifications, requirements, and validation plans.
• Lead topology evaluation, tradeoff analysis, and system optimization for efficiency, power density, cost, and reliability.
• Perform modeling and simulation using tools such as SIMPLIS, SPICE, MATLAB, or equivalent.
• Analyze system performance including efficiency, transient response, EMI, thermal behavior, and fault protection.
• Support product bring-up, debugging, characterization, and customer deployments.
• Collaborate with IC design, magnetics, packaging, thermal, firmware, and applications teams and engage with hyperscale and enterprise customers to translate requirements into roadmaps.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience. Preferred items listed under "Nice-to-have." Degree requirements are summarized separately in Education Requirements.

• Strong background in power electronics and power conversion architectures.
• Deep understanding of magnetics, resonant converters, switching converters, and power semiconductor devices.
• Experience with system modeling, simulation, and hardware validation; proficiency with SIMPLIS, SPICE, or MATLAB preferred.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration abilities.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with LLC, DAB, CLLC, multiphase buck, or switched-capacitor converters.
• Knowledge of high-voltage power distribution (48V, 400V, 800V HVDC).
• Familiarity with AI server, GPU, telecom, or data center power architectures.
• Experience with planar magnetics, GaN devices, and advanced packaging technologies.
• Experience working directly with hyperscale customers.

Education Requirements

M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering (as stated in the posting).
