About the Role

Power Integrations is seeking an ambitious, highly motivated Sr. Staff AI/Data Center Systems Engineer to help define and develop next-generation high-density power solutions for AI and data center applications.

In this role, you will contribute to the development of high-density power converters, intermediate bus converter (IBC) modules, and protection circuits for next-generation AI and data center systems using Power Integrations products and technologies.

You will work closely with the new product development team to create novel applications for high-frequency power converters using state-of-the-art GaN and silicon technologies, and to deliver differentiated solutions that address critical customer needs.

You will also develop best-in-class reference designs using Power Integrations products for next-generation AI and data center power architectures.

Responsibilities

  • Develop innovative high-frequency power converter solutions for AI and data center applications across AC/DC and DC/DC architectures using Power Integrations products.

  • Define power converter architectures and key system components for emerging AI and data center power solutions.

  • Provide switching power supply design support and technical guidance for applications based on Power Integrations products.

  • Develop reference designs and application solutions that demonstrate performance, efficiency, and system value for next-generation AI and data center power architectures.

  • Collaborate with product development teams and customers to solve complex technical challenges, evaluate design tradeoffs, and optimize system performance, density, and reliability.

  • Serve as a technical expert and provide advanced application support to customers worldwide.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, or foreign equivalent

  • Minimum 12 years of relevant industry experience

  • Hands-on experience and deep expertise in high-density, high-frequency power converter design, including server power applications above 3 kW

  • Strong familiarity with power supply topologies including:

  • Active power factor correction circuits

  • Phase-shifted and LLC resonant converters

  • Buck, boost, buck-boost, and flyback converters

  • Expert knowledge of high-frequency magnetics design

  • Ability to perform complex calculations, including worst-case analysis, for circuits designed using Power Integrations products

  • Experience with tools such as MATLAB, Excel, and simulation software such as SIMPLIS/ LTspice/PLECS

  • Strong hands-on capability and experience using lab equipment to test high-frequency switching power supplies

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience creating specifications, technical reports, and test plans or instructions

  • Knowledge of relevant industry standards and system architectures

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience developing firmware in C/C++ for embedded controllers in power supply applications, along with the ability to provide firmware guidance for applications using Power Integrations products

  • Experience using finite element tools such as ANSYS

  • Experience designing power supplies/power converters from concept to production and supporting post production

  • Knowledge of communication protocols such as I2C and PMBus

  • Familiarity with tools for debug of power converters with embedded controllers
