Power Supply Design Engineer

About the IP Routing Hardware Organization

The IP Routing Hardware organization is very flat - there are few levels of management between the Individual Contributor and the VP of Hardware. We are also very lean - engineers spend more time doing engineering work and less time on overhead. As a result, your work has high visibility and your decisions directly impact product strategy and product design.

Responsibilities

As a Power Supply Design Engineer, you will:

• Provide power circuit expertise to multiple digital electronics engineers as part of their design of complex, multilayer printed circuit boards
• Study the latest power technology to design and qualify new power solutions at the system and card level
• Evaluate and verify 3rd party system power supplies (i.e. AC to DC, HVDC to DC)
• Manage the vendor relationship including pricing and schedule
• Design or provide expertise for card level DC-to-DC primary voltage conversion and hotswap circuitry
• Design and test Point-of-Load DC-to-DC secondary voltage conversion solutions, including both modular and discrete multiphase buck converter circuits (i.e. controller, FETs, inductors, capacitors, loop gain tuning, monitoring and protection circuits)

Required Qualifications

• Minimum B.Sc or B.Eng in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
• 10+ years of experience designing and testing power circuits
• Understanding of a broad range of power converter circuit designs including control theory (stability/Bode plots)
• Excellent interpersonal, organizational, and leadership skills

Assets

• Experience with PCB design for power planes and switching controller routing
• Familiarity with EMC/EMI/Safety and ITU/IEEE/Bellcore telecommunications standards
• Programming/Scripting ability (C/Python)
