System Architecture Engineer

Analog Devices • Durham, NC

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

As a System Engineer, you will own the system development of high-voltage power converters — from power system architecture, power distribution box (PDBs) to intelligent power integration platforms. You will work at the intersection of power electronics, embedded firmware, and system architecture to deliver high-efficiency solutions that support the rapidly evolving power demands of AI data center.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), power electronics or a related technical field.
• 2+ years of experience in power electronics, power systems, or related fields.
• Highly proficient in mainstream EDA tools, specifically Cadence Allegro and Altium Designer.
• Good at the design tools for simulations, such as Simetrix/Simplis, Mathcad, PLECS or PSIM.
• Proficiently operate electronic test equipment, including programmable DC power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, and thermal cameras to validate design performance.
• Strong manual soldering and rework skills.
• Ability to use basic shop tools for mechanical modifications.
• Understanding of power converter topologies (LLC, DAB, PFC) and the control algorithm for soft-switching and hard-switching converter.
• Understanding of the advanced PCBA fabrication processes (stack-up design, copper weight, plating, via technologies) and DFM rules.

Nice To Haves

• Candidates with additional experience may be considered at the Senior Engineer level.

Responsibilities

• Responsible for the project development of intelligent system integrations on AI data center, including project execution, system prototyping, debugging/testing and end customer support.
• Lead test benches setting up, conducting debug, performing hardware verification, and executing the test plan of high voltage power modules (DC/DC modules), hotswap and PDBs.
• Lead and execute multi-layer PCB designs for high-voltage and high-power density data center solutions, ensuring optimal placement and routing for signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management.
• Create and maintain schematic symbols and PCB footprints according to industry standards (IPC); manage Gerber files and manufacturing documentation (BOM, SCH, Layout files).
• Work closely with system architecture, mechanical and thermal experts to implement layout constraints and mechanical requirements.
• Communicate with manufacture and suppliers to resolve DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) issues.
• Support customer engagements by providing technical expertise and helping to demonstrate high performance products to end customers.
