5+ of relevant industry experience in power electronics, server/data center power architecture, board- or package-level PDN/power integrity, semiconductor power applications, power modules, magnetics, or passive components.
Strong understanding of DC-DC power conversion, including buck and multiphase converters; working knowledge of IBC, POL, switched-capacitor, coupled-inductor, or related architectures.
Working knowledge of target impedance, decoupling, voltage droop, transient response, and parasitic resistance and inductance across board and package interconnects.
Ability to convert customer needs into measurable technical requirements, product specifications, technical proposals, or development plans.
Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to engage circuit designers, package engineers, system architects, commercial teams, and senior leadership.
Ability to work independently, initiate cross-site communication, and lead projects across organizational and geographic boundaries.

Nice To Haves

Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Semiconductor Engineering, Electronic Packaging, or a related field.
Experience with Hyperscalers, AI accelerator companies, server OEMs/ODMs, power solution suppliers, or advanced packaging organizations.
Experience with 48 V/54 V power delivery, high-voltage DC distribution, TLVR, vertical power delivery, IVR, hybrid converters, or processors operating above 1 kW or at kiloampere-class current levels.
Knowledge of advanced packages, interposers, glass-core substrates, TGV, embedded passives, backside power delivery, thermal design, or liquid cooling.
Previous technical marketing, product management, field applications, new product definition, customer co-development, design-in, or design-win experience.

Responsibilities

Analyze end to end AI server power delivery from rack/PDB and 48V IBC stages through multiphase VRs, PoL converters, and integrated regulators.
Translate customer needs into quantitative electrical, thermal, mechanical including voltage, current efficiency, power density, transient response.
Identify the system-level problem behind customer component specifications.
Create and advance design-in, joint-evaluation, and co-development opportunities by connecting customer roadmaps with internal product and R&D capabilities.
Serve as the technical interface among customers, sales, product divisions, corporate R&D, and external partners; proactively initiate communication to obtain required information and drive decisions.
Monitor emerging technologies and ecosystem changes, including 800 VDC rack distribution, vertical power delivery, TLVR, switched-capacitor and hybrid converters, IVR, backside power delivery, glass-core substrates, through-glass vias, embedded power components, and advanced cooling.
Build relationships with universities, startups, semiconductor companies, packaging suppliers, and research institutes to identify collaboration and innovation opportunities.
Support predominantly virtual collaboration with sales, technical support, and customer teams across Dallas, San Jose, and other U.S. and global locations; travel as required for customer and partner engagements.
Perform other related duties and support cross-functional initiatives as assigned.
This position is currently intended as an individual-contributor role with no direct supervisory responsibility unless otherwise assigned.
