The Role

Join our platform design team in Shanghai at the forefront of powering next-generation computing! You'll dive into the exciting challenge of designing and optimizing cutting-edge DC-DC power solutions (like multi-phase buck converters and VRMs) for high-performance CPU and GPU platforms. Collaborate closely with Architecture, Hardware, Thermal, SI/PI, and Layout experts to deliver innovative motherboard and graphics card reference designs. You'll own the full 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 power efficiency, work with advanced tools, solve complex technical puzzles, and see your designs come to life in systems that shape the future of computing.

The Person

We are seeking a talented Platform Power Design Engineer to join our team, focusing on the development of cutting-edge DC-DC power delivery solutions for next-generation motherboard and graphics card platforms. Solving tough technical challenges. A natural problem-solver, meticulous in validation and debugging but also think big-picture to optimize system-level performance. Communicate clearly (in English) and proactively bridge gaps between cross-functional teams, valuing diverse inputs to achieve shared goals.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, simulate, and optimize high-efficiency DC-DC power solutions (e.g., multi-phase buck converters, VRMs) for battery life and high-performance CPU/GPU platforms.
• Schematic design, 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 delivery motherboard reference board and graphics card 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 graphic card.
• 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 mobile product, including battery 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 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

3+ years of hands-on experience in power hardware design, preferably for high-speed computing platforms (e.g., CPUs, GPUs, ASICs).
