Job summary

Navitas Semiconductor seeks an Applications Engineer for Integrated Voltage Regulators (IVR) to own system-level performance from lab bench to customer board evaluation. You will develop evaluation platforms, reference designs, and customer model kits while supporting design-in and bring-up processes for Vertical Power Delivery and Embedded Power Delivery.

You will build test platforms, analyze PDN behavior, collaborate with OSATs and PCB teams, and create application notes and design

Qualifications

• Deep knowledge of DC-DC conversion especially buck regulators and high-current PDN.
• Ability to analyze control-loop stability, transient response, efficiency, and fault behavior.
• Hands-on with oscilloscopes, current probes, electronic loads, power analyzers, and network analyzers.
• Ability to correlate simulations with lab measurements.
• Experience documenting technical results for customers or teams.
• Willingness to travel for engagements and on-site bring-ups.

Responsibilities

• Develop system-level test plans for single- and multi-IVR power delivery under customer conditions.
• Build processor load-emulation platforms and test vehicles for IVR performance before silicon availability.
• Benchmark IVRs against competing solutions to identify gaps.
• Extend automation framework to deliver repeatable measurements and data analysis.
• Perform PDN and power-integrity analysis including DC/AC behavior.
• Create IVR models and validate with lab measurements.
• Assess thermal integration with processor cooling with thermal specialists.
• Define and bring up evaluation boards and reference designs with PCB designers.
• Deliver complete design packages including schematics, layouts, BOMs, tests, and GUI/scripts.
• Develop multi-IVR demonstration platforms for high-current processors.
• Lead customer evaluations and design-ins with vendors and ODMs.
• Collaborate with OSATs and substrate suppliers for IVR integration.
• Author application notes and design guides covering simulation, PDN, and thermal behavior.
• Present reviews and translate field learning into product roadmap.
