Job Description:

Senior Field Applications Engineer - Datacenter Power Conversion

Location: San Jose, CA (client is also potentially open to this being in Austin, TX)

*All interested and qualified candidates can please contact Schuyler Moose at

What to Expect

We are seeking a highly motivated, experienced engineer to join our FAE team supporting the rapidly growing datacenter power market. AI and high-performance computing are driving higher power density, tighter transient requirements, more demanding thermal constraints, and increased demand for intelligent energy management.

You will help our customers deploy power conversion and storage solutions-including AC/DC and DC/DC conversion, rack and server PSUs, PDUs, UPS/BBU/ESS/CBU, protection, monitoring, battery management, and emerging point-of-load (POL) architectures.

Work with hyperscalers, server and power-system OEMs/ODMs, and client product-line and systems teams. Candidates must be willing to travel, primarily within the US.

Ready to help shape how the world powers AI?

Your Role

Serve as the technical lead and system-level expert for client datacenter power conversion, storage, protection, monitoring, and control solutions.

Translate customer requirements into power-tree architectures, including high-voltage/bulk conversion, 48 V and 12 V distribution, and high-current POL rails for CPUs, GPUs, SoCs, FPGAs, BMCs, and system-management loads.

Provide hands-on design and validation support through schematic and power-tree reviews, board bring-up, lab measurements, efficiency/transient/thermal analysis, and root-cause debugging.

Deliver proof-of-concepts, reference-design demonstrations, and technical training using client evaluation platforms, software, control algorithms, and measurement tools.

Coordinate across sales, systems engineering, product marketing, product-line applications, and design teams to close issues and turn field feedback into roadmap actions.

Core Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.

10+ years in power electronics, embedded systems, applications engineering, or customer support, with demonstrated technical leadership appropriate to G4/G5.

Strong understanding of AC/DC and DC/DC conversion, switching power supplies, feedback/control loops, and power-tree architecture.

Experience with schematic review, prototype bring-up, validation, lab measurements, and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power analyzers, current probes, or related equipment.

Ability to analyze efficiency, transient response, thermal performance, power density, startup behavior, protection, and fault handling.

Strong troubleshooting and communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences; demonstrated ability to operate autonomously.

Willing to travel (up to 25%), primarily within the US.

If located near client office, work onsite at office or customer location 3-days per week (hybrid).

Specialty & Bonus Skills

Experience with high-voltage, medium-voltage, or low-voltage power conversion, PFC, LLC/resonant conversion, isolated gate drivers, or digital power control.

Knowledge of 48 V, 12 V, direct 48 V-to-POL, multiphase, VRM/VR, or high-current processor/accelerator power architectures.

Experience with POL regulators, fast transient response, power density, thermal management, PDUs, eFuse/protection, rack power, server PSUs, or M-CRPS ecosystems.

Experience with BMS, battery cell monitoring, active cell balancing, UPS/BBU/CBU, ESS, or grid-connected storage.

Knowledge of functional safety, high-voltage safety, isolation, diagnostics, CAN, Ethernet, embedded software, real-time control, Linux, or scripting.
