Senior Hardware Power Engineer

Hewlett Packard Enterprise•Sunnyvale, CA

7d•Onsite

About The Position

The Senior Hardware Power Engineer is an individual contributor on Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Power Systems Development team, designing and evaluating electrical and electronic components, subsystems, and integrated circuitry for hardware power delivery. The role contributes advanced subject-matter expertise to complex product and system design work and may provide technical leadership, mentoring, and partnership across project teams. The position is based in Sunnyvale and requires working onsite at least three days per week, potentially more to meet business needs. For board-mount power, the engineer defines design requirements, selects critical components, designs and simulates power circuit blocks, captures schematics, coordinates with board-level and PCB layout engineers, and brings up and characterizes prototypes through manufacturing introduction. For front-end power systems, the engineer supports system-level concept development, prepares power-supply module functional specifications, and manages engineering development with HPE suppliers, including prototype testing, system integration, documentation, and manufacturing support. The role also prepares or reviews test plans, supervises testing, leads technical peer reviews of their work, and participates in reviews of colleagues’ work. Senior-level contributions include mentoring less experienced power engineers, developing technology initiatives, and participating in HPE’s patent application process.

Requirements

At least 6 years of related power design engineering experience.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or higher.
Solid experience with schematic-capture and simulation tools, including SPICE.
Practical background with multilayer PCB layout tools and techniques.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
Experience in the overall architecture of electronic hardware for products and solutions.
Experience designing and integrating electronic components, integrated circuitry, and algorithms into an overall architecture.
Ability to evaluate and propose empirical analysis, modeling, and testing methods to validate component, circuit, and hardware designs, including thermal and emissions management.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with mastery of English and the local language.
Ability to communicate product architectures and design proposals effectively and negotiate options at senior-management levels.
Ability to work onsite in Sunnyvale at least three days per week, potentially more to meet business needs.
