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.
The Applied R&D Engineer conducts target-oriented research to directly apply findings to the specification, design, further development, and incremental improvement of products, services, systems, tools, processes, etc. Integrates, verifies, tests, and modifies SW / HW / system components and capitalises on innovative solutions to meet particular requirements and specifications.
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)
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)
