Job description

Job Description

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.

How You Will Contribute And What You Will Learn

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)

Key Skills And Experience

You have :

• 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

It would be nice if you also had:

• 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)
