About the Role
In the MI Platform Power Design Team, we design high-technology platforms for world-class products based on AMD’s Instinct Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). Our team plays a major part in architecting and shaping every graphics board offered by AMD. We design cutting-edge power converters for our discrete graphics boards that retail around the world. These designs are essential to maximize the performance from our GPUs in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Responsibilities
- Support the architecture, design, analysis, and verification of power systems for high performance CPUs/GPUs/APUs.
- Work with cross-functional teams to design and implement a full power delivery network.
- Model and validate PDN impedance and droop targets.
- Verify power supply integrity using lab and in-situ silicon measurements.
- Guide the system’s design team on component selection and layout guidelines.
- Work with the Board Validation team to develop test plans and procedures for system-level validation.
- Drive the latest power delivery technologies and innovations for computers and electronics industry.
- Analyze and compare solutions, and drive team insights and architecture into system implementation, SoC silicon, and power delivery silicon.
- Conduct feasibility studies and work with development teams to deliver solutions.
- Technically mentor junior power engineers and verify their design and validation work.
Requirements
- Proven technical understanding of power supply architectures and PDN in server, OAM, and PCIe environments.
- Understanding of design and validation processes for high quality/reliability power circuits.
- Understanding and experience with multi-phase buck/buck-boost regulators, digital PWM controllers, bus converters, LDOs, PMICs, charge pumps, ADCs & DACs.
- Working knowledge of 2D/2.5D EM simulation tools such as Sigrity’s PowerDC, PowerSI, SiWave or equivalent.
- Strong knowledge of high frequency magnetics design for power electronics.
- Printed circuit board design experience is a must.
- Expertise in schematic capture and PCB design tools such as OrCAD or Allegro.
- Ability to work with multiple cross-functional teams to make system-level performance trade-offs.
- Excellent knowledge of control theory, closed loop compensation, stability analysis, and phase margin.
- Proficiency with lab equipment such as oscilloscope, eload, and function generator.
- Experience with analog circuit modeling and simulation tools (e.g. Simplis, PSpice, HSpice etc.) required.
- Good written and verbal communication skills.
- Knowledge of AMD’s SVIx power management interface.
