Overview: In this role you will architect and validate DC-DC power delivery for compute, storage, and AI platforms within Microsoft’s Cloud Hardware Systems Engineering. You’ll drive high-efficiency power solutions across data centers, influencing architecture and collaborating with ODMs and suppliers. You help ensure performance, reliability, and cost targets while guiding cross-functional teams through complex bring-up and debugging. This is a chance to shape power systems for hyperscale infrastructure and contribute to a trusted cloud experience.
Responsibilities: Architect and validate DC-DC power delivery for compute, storage, and AI platforms Lead design and simulation of multiphase regulators, point-of-load converters, and high-power ASIC module integration Develop power solution concepts with clear trade-offs and risk assessments Provide oversight and guidance on power development activities to ensure alignment with requirements and risk mitigations Support engineering leads, power and SI engineers on constraints, components, power tree design, test plans, bring-up and debugging Engage with industry groups and suppliers to pursue advanced power solutions Drive root-cause analysis and resolution of power-related issues in production and development Collaborate with ODMs and suppliers to qualify components and systems Conduct EMI, thermal, and reliability testing across global deployments Influence product architecture and roadmap through deep DC-DC power expertise Mentor engineers and cross-functional partners
Key requirements: 5+ years (MS) or 3 years (PhD) in multiphase regulation, point-of-load conversion, and system-level integration Proven knowledge of power converter control theory and PWM topologies (Buck, Boost, Buck/Boost, LLC) Experience with design/simulation tools (LTspice, Simplis/Simetrix, Cadence or Altium) 5+ years (MS) or 3 years (PhD) in DC-DC power system design and validation Experience with high-frequency/high-power inductor design and simulations (HFSS a plus) Experience with high-power DC-DC module design; vertical power module is a plus SI/PI experience with PowerDC/PowerSI/SIwave/ADS is a plus Experience in hyperscale data center infrastructure and ODM/JDM development Familiarity with PCB layout for low-loss, low-noise power conversion Advanced package power delivery and PDN optimization knowledge is a plus 5+ years of product bring-up and troubleshooting in power supply testing 5+ years developing design specifications, guidelines, and test plans Familiar with digital bus design (I2C/PMBus, Modbus, CANbus) Familiar with power supply qualification standards (derating, MTBF, EMC) Detail-oriented communication cross-functional collaboration strong communication mentorship multiphase regulation point-of-load conversion PWM converters (Buck, Boost, Buck/Boost, LLC)
