You will join the Power Management business unit and help drive adoption of the company's power management solutions. You will work with product definition, marketing and field teams to build Winning Combinations (success stories), support key tier-1 customer designs, and help define the next generation of highly efficient DC-DC and multiphase power solutions.

You need hands-on experience with DC/DC power conversion, including digital multiphase PWM controllers.

Responsibilities

• Give on-site and remote technical support to internal and external teams, and carry out root-cause analysis and debugging.
• Build a thorough system-level understanding of customer applications to guide new product development.
• Lead product promotion and design-in work, including power tree architecture and debugging of power delivery systems.
• Help define innovative, differentiated products from technical requirements and market needs.
• Review schematics and PCB layouts for internal evaluation boards and customer designs.
• Build and run simulations of power converter circuits and systems to develop solutions and resolve technical issues.
• Train Field Application Engineers (FAEs) and customer engineering teams on product use and DC-DC converter fundamentals.

Requirements

• You bring strong organization and careful attention to detail.
• You have experience with power ICs, MOSFETs, control loops, digital controllers and multiphase buck converters.
• You are comfortable using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, electronic loads and function generators.
• You have used analog circuit modeling and simulation tools such as SIMPLIS and PSpice. This is required.
• You have advanced knowledge of DC/DC topologies, including buck, boost, buck-boost, charge pump and intermediate bus converters.
• You have used schematic capture and PCB design tools such as OrCAD, Allegro and Cadence.
• Knowledge of Intel SVID, AMD SVI, PMBus and AVSBus power management interfaces is a plus.
• You understand control theory, closed-loop compensation and stability margin analysis.
• You communicate clearly in writing and speaking. This is essential.
• Education: a BSEE or BSECE with 7+ years of relevant experience, or an MSEE (preferred) with 5+ years of relevant experience.
