Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or bringing leading edge products to market, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward. Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career.
THE ROLE:
As a Power Engineer in the ODM Enablement, Data Center Platform Engineering (DPEG), you will be responsible to work with ODM/OEM/Customer for the Power Design and validation for the AMD Data Center GPU products in this expanding and strategic market for AMD. To accomplish this, you will need to interact with other key engineering teams such as silicon design, boarding engineering, power delivery, validation, and manufacturing within AMD. Collaborate closely with Architecture, Hardware, Thermal, SI/PI, and Layout experts to deliver robust designs. You’ll own supporting ODM/customer on the full product lifecycle – from simulation and schematic design to hands-on lab validation and debugging – ensuring power integrity meets rigorous performance standards. Here, you’ll constantly push boundaries in to support customer on power efficiency, work with advanced tools, solve complex technical puzzles, and systems validation that shape the future of computing.
THE PERSON:
We are seeking a talented Platform Power Design Engineer to join us, supporting ODM/OEM/Customer focusing on the development of cutting-edge DC-DC power delivery solutions for next-generation Server motherboard and Rack System Power. Solving tough technical challenges. A natural problem-solver, meticulous in validation and debugging but also think big-picture to optimize system-level performance.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Work with ODM/OEM/Customer on Design review, simulate, verification and optimize high-efficiency DC-DC power solutions (e.g., multi-phase buck converters, VRMs) for battery life and high-performance CPU/GPU platforms.
Review customer schematic, PCB layout reviews, and component selection to meet power delivery requirement (e.g., voltage ripple, transient response, efficiency etc.).
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Arch, EE, thermal, layout, SI/PI etc.) to provide motherboard reference board and server Rack power shelf requirement on time.
Conduct PDN(power delivery network) simulation and analysis, ensure power integrity
Co-work with multiple stakeholders to ensure signal integrity and thermal compliance for motherboard and System power.
Validate and debug power solution in the lab using oscilloscopes, e-loads etc.
Document test reports, design spec, and best practices for power solution.
Stay updated on industry trends in power electronics, energy-efficient technologies.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
Proficiency in Server or Data center rack, including power shelf technology, battery management, charger, deeply understand EC/BIOS/ACPI
Proficiency in DC-DC converter topologies (buck, boost, multiphase), PWM controllers, MOSFET, and power stage.
Experience with simulation tools (e.g., Simplis, SPICE, PowerDC, Ansys SIWave).
Strong knowledge of PCB layout considerations for power circuits (e.g., parasitic reduction).
PDN and PI analysis capability
Familiarity with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and power integrity test setups.
Knowledge of EMI/EMC mitigation techniques in power designs.
Familiarity with x86 system power management feature.
Familiarity with thermal management solutions for high-power-density systems.
Exposure to MCU-based, FPGA-based prototyping or scripting (Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW) for automation.
Good English communication
Problem-solving mindset, teamwork.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
BS or above in Electrical/Electronic/Power Engineering, or related field
Hands-on experience in power hardware design, preferably for high-speed computing platforms (e.g., CPUs, GPUs, ASICs).
