Power Delivery & PI Architect for Data Center Platforms

Nutanix; Austin (TX); On-site; USD 181,000 - 271,000; Full time

Job summary

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. in Austin, TX seeks an experienced Power Delivery and Power Integrity Architect to define end-to-end PI solutions from die to system level. You will collaborate across SoC, firmware, packaging, and platform teams to drive VR/PDN development and validation.

Lead PI simulations, lab measurements, and model correlations while shaping technical roadmaps. Strong scripting and CAD tools proficiency required; open compute packaging knowledge is a plus.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in Power delivery, board level VR design, PI analysis, simulation, and PDN measurements.
• Strong understanding of PI fundamentals, power supply architectures, voltage regulator technologies, chip supply design, and PDN.
• Experience developing PI methodologies and PDN modeling from die to system, with model correlation and lab validation.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with SoC, firmware/software, memory vendors, component suppliers, packaging, platform engineering, and system design teams to define and implement power architectures that meet internal and customer requirements.
• Lead voltage regulator (VR) design specification, selection, and co-development with VR suppliers
• Develop E2E VR + PDN simulation flows to reduce time to market
• Perform PDN modeling, simulation, and characterization for SoC, package, PCB, VRs, and LDOs.
• Provide PI-driven feedback to SoC design teams to influence decap, package, and power rail architecture.
• Create Power maps, Power tree and power-flow diagrams, power budgets from die- to system-level.
• Develop and provide implementation and system efficiency guidelines.
• Conduct IR Drop, AC, and transient simulations and provide model-to-hardware correlations.
