Senior Engineer, Power Systems Design Engineer - Datacenter GPU
AMD, Austin, TX, United States
Overview
At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next‑generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers to PCs, gaming, and embedded systems. We believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity, and a shared passion to create something extraordinary.
The Role
In the DCGPU Platform Power Design Team, you will design high‑technology platforms for world‑class products based on AMD’s Instinct Graphics Processing Units. You will play a major part in architecting and shaping every graphics board offered by AMD, including cutting‑edge power converters that meet stringent performance, efficiency, and cost goals.
Key Responsibilities
Support the architecture, design, analysis, and verification of power systems intended for high‑performance CPUs/GPUs/APUs.
Design and implement a complete power delivery network, model and validate PDN impedance and droop targets, and verify power supply integrity using lab and in‑situ silicon measurements.
Guide the design team on component selection and layout guidelines during the execution phase.
Collaborate with the Board Validation team to develop test plans and procedures for system‑level validation of power domains.
Work with SoC and System Architects and external industry partners to drive the latest power delivery technologies and innovations.
Analyze solutions and drive architecture forward into system implementation, SoC silicon, and power delivery silicon.
Conduct feasibility studies and work with development teams to deliver solutions.
Mentor junior power engineers and verify their design and validation work.
Preferred Qualifications
Proven technical understanding of power‑supply architectures and PDN in server, OAM, and PCIe environments.
Knowledge of design and validation processes for high‑quality, high‑reliability power circuits.
Experience with multi‑phase buck/buck‑boost regulators, digital PWM controllers, bus converters, LDOs, PMICs, charge pumps, ADCs, DACs, etc.
Working knowledge of 2D/2.5D EM simulation tools such as Sigrity PowerDC, PowerSI, SiWave or equivalent.
Strong knowledge of high‑frequency magnetics design for power electronics.
Printed circuit board design experience (schematic capture, PCB design tools such as OrCAD or Allegro).
Ability to make trade‑offs on system‑level performance with multiple cross‑functional teams.
Excellent knowledge of control theory, closed‑loop compensation, stability analysis, phase margin, etc.
Proficiency with lab equipment such as oscilloscope, eload, function generator, etc.
Experience with analog circuit modeling and simulation tools (PSpice, HSpice, etc.) required.
Good written and verbal communication skills.
Knowledge of AMD’s SVIx power‑management interface.
Academic Credentials & Experience
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (preferred) in Electrical Engineering or related field.
Location
Austin, TX
