Job description

Power Architect – Data Center Infrastructure

Location: Plano, TX

About the Role

Our client is seeking a Power Architect – Data Center Infrastructure to lead the development of next-generation Grid-to-Chip power delivery architectures supporting hyperscale and enterprise data center platforms.

This role will drive system-level power strategy across facility, rack, and board levels, with a focus on efficient, scalable, and reliable power solutions for rapidly increasing AI/HPC power requirements.

The ideal candidate brings deep experience in data center power infrastructure, power conversion, distribution, and system-level architecture.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and drive end-to-end data center power architecture spanning the utility/grid interface, UPS systems, power distribution, rack-level power shelves, and board-level voltage regulation.
  • Lead next-generation Grid-to-Chip power delivery strategies for hyperscale and AI/HPC data center platforms.
  • Architect high-efficiency power conversion and distribution systems for modern compute platforms.
  • Translate AI, cloud, and HPC workload trends into facility-, row-, and rack-level power requirements.
  • Develop reference power architectures and system design guidelines.
  • Evaluate and optimize AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion topologies, including centralized, distributed, and intermediate bus architectures.
  • Lead trade-off analysis across efficiency, scalability, reliability, and cost.
  • Develop architectural strategies supporting 100kW+ racks, AI clusters, and advanced accelerator platforms.
  • Develop proof-of-concept systems and reference designs with internal and external engineering teams.
  • Collaborate with system engineering, product management, silicon partners, hyperscale customers, and ecosystem partners.
  • Provide technical leadership and influence product roadmaps for evolving hyperscale infrastructure requirements.

Core Technical Requirements

  • Deep knowledge of data center power architecture and infrastructure.
  • Experience designing Grid-to-Chip power delivery systems.
  • Expertise in AC-DC and DC-DC conversion architecture.
  • Experience with UPS systems, PDUs, rack power shelves, and busbar architecture.
  • Strong understanding of high-power rack architectures for hyperscale and AI workloads.
  • Familiarity with server and accelerator platform power delivery requirements.
  • Understanding of CPU/GPU compute platforms and their impact on power delivery.
  • Knowledge of technologies including PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, InfiniBand, and NVMe/NVMe-oF.
  • Ability to evaluate system-level power efficiency and reliability trade-offs.

Minimum Qualifications

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 10+ years of experience in power architecture or power systems design.
  • Extensive experience designing power infrastructure for data center platforms.
  • Demonstrated expertise in Grid-to-Chip power architecture and high-power rack systems.
  • Strong background in power electronics and system-level power delivery design.
  • Experience influencing architecture decisions across cross-functional engineering teams.
  • Experience working with hyperscale data center operators, server OEMs, or infrastructure vendors.
