As a Staff System Engineer, you will own the digital control and firmware development of high-voltage power converters - from DC/DC module, 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.

• Design, develop, and optimize digital control loops and firmware for multi-kW power converters (DC/DC modules, PDBs, intelligent power).
• Architect control software including state machines, protection schemes, startup/shutdown sequencing, and mode transitions for converter topologies such as LLC, phase-shifted full bridge, and other topologies.
• Develop and validate embedded firmware on MCU, DSP, and FPGA platforms for real-time power converter control.
• Lead system-level integration of ADI new controller into power converter solutions, driving intelligent power integration.
• Collaborate with system architecture engineers on converter design, debug, and performance optimization - bridging the firmware-hardware interface.
• Support debug, bring-up, and troubleshooting of prototype power converter hardware in the lab, including hands-on measurement and root-cause analysis.
• Contribute to system-level architecture decisions for distributed power delivery within data centers, including control strategies for power distribution and power management sequencing.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with silicon, applications, and customer engineering teams to translate system-level requirements into firmware and control specifications.

• Ph.D. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a closely related field.
• 5+ years of experience in digital control design and firmware development for power converters (DC/DC, AC/DC, or inverter systems).
• Deep expertise in control loop design and implementation - voltage/current mode control, digital compensator design, and dynamic response optimization.
• Hands-on experience with embedded platforms for power control: MCU/DSP/FPGA.
• Understanding of power converter topologies (LLC, phase-shifted full bridge, DAB, MMC, interleaved buck/boost) and their control requirements.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded firmware development; experience with real-time operating systems and hardware abstraction layers.
• Proven ability to debug and troubleshoot power electronics systems in a lab environment - oscilloscopes, power analyzers, thermal characterization.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly articulate complex technical concepts to cross-functional teams.
• Knowledge of datacenter power architectures - 800V distribution, rack-level power delivery, battery backup integration are preferred.
• Experience with FPGA-based control system development (VHDL/Verilog) or FPGA/MCU partitioning for power converter applications is a plus
