Mac Systems Power Delivery Architect

The Mac System Power Delivery Architecture team has an outstanding opportunity for a power systems architect to influence and drive new product designs. This is a multidisciplinary cross-functional lead engineering role encompassing all aspects of computer system design. You will leverage your skills and experience to create innovative power delivery system architectures surprise and delight our customers and advance our products performance size power thermal and cost objectives.

Provide architectural guidance and leadership to cross-functional engineering teams in establishing new product definitions and requirements with a primary focus on Power Delivery across Mac computer systems. This role requires subject matter expertise in power electronics PMICs and other DC-DC voltage a Mac Systems Power Delivery Architect you will drive innovative power architecture and technology concepts lead system-level partitioning and tradeoff analyses and define mixed-signal power ICs from initial investigation and analysis through to successful product-level implementation.

Lead core architecture and technology investigations by evaluating various options with technical rigor optimizing key power metrics including but not limited to system performance efficiency power density cost reduced carbon footprint and be intimately familiar with DC-DC DC-AC and AC-DC voltage regulator topologies and architectures magnetic design PCB layout and state-of-the-art techniques for integration and efficiency requirements for PMICs (Power Management ICs) and collaborate with internal design teams and external vendors to deliver high-quality silicons on tight possess knowledge of mixed-signal silicon processes methodologies design tools verification tools and back-end design simulations calculations and analytical models to predict design concept outcomes including control loop stability transient responses layout analysis and parasitic and guide peak power measurements on device hardware to help validate power system architecture specifications and block diagrams and conduct reviews with product teams ; anticipate future SoC requirements and engage with internal SoC teams to align on system product a smooth handoff of new architectures to the execution team including design analysis risk assessments mitigation plans lessons learned and proof-of-concept role may require occasional domestic and international travel.

BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or equivalent with at least 10 years of relevant industry competence and subject matter expertise in power electronics design and analysis for computing systems targeted for high-volume technical breadth across multiple computer or datacenter subsystem technologies including CPU GPU storage memory power delivery power management networking I/O and thermal understanding of mixed-signal silicon processes design methodologies and to create review and approve engineering requirement specification analytical verbal written and interpersonal communication skills with the ability to effectively summarize and communicate complex technical issues and action items to key stakeholders and leadership teams.

Experience in mixed-signal silicon and/or PMIC the roles of hardware firmware and software layers and understands how they interact within computer system in reading schematics and PCB layouts and designs with hands-on experience in board bring-up system debug and lab in circuit simulations including behavioral mixed-signal AMS analog SPICE and digital simulations.
