Job#: 3059010 Job Description: Senior Field Applications Engineer - Datacenter Power Energy Storage, Battery Management
Location: San Jose, California (Hybrid)
Alternate Location: Austin, Texas
Role Overview
An experienced engineer is required to join a high-performance team supporting the rapidly growing datacenter power market. Accelerating developments in artificial intelligence and high-performance computing drive higher power density, tighter transient requirements, demanding thermal constraints, and increased demand for intelligent energy management. The successful candidate will assist customers in deploying advanced power conversion and storage solutions, including AC/DC and DC/DC conversion, rack and server power supply units, power distribution units, uninterruptible power supplies, battery backup units, energy storage systems, protection, monitoring, battery management, and emerging point-of-load architectures. This hybrid role involves working closely with hyperscalers, server and power-system original equipment manufacturers, and internal product-line and systems engineering teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the technical lead and system-level expert for 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 point-of-load rails for central processing units, graphics processing units, system-on-chips, field-programmable gate arrays, board management controllers, and system-management loads.
- Provide hands-on design and validation support through schematic and power-tree reviews, board bring-up, lab measurements, efficiency, transient, and thermal analysis, and root-cause debugging.
- Deliver proof-of-concepts, reference-design demonstrations, and technical training using evaluation platforms, software, control algorithms, and measurement tools.
- Coordinate across sales, systems engineering, product marketing, product-line applications, and design teams to resolve technical issues and translate field feedback into roadmap actions.
Required Qualifications
Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or an equivalent technical field of study.
Experience: Minimum of 10 years of experience in power electronics, embedded systems, applications engineering, or customer technical support, with demonstrated technical leadership capabilities.
Technical Skills: Strong understanding of AC/DC and DC/DC conversion, switching power supplies, feedback/control loops, and power-tree architecture. Proven experience with schematic review, prototype bring-up, validation, lab measurements, and troubleshooting using oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power analyzers, and current probes. Ability to analyze efficiency, transient response, thermal performance, power density, startup behavior, protection, and fault handling. Familiarity with battery management systems, battery chemistry, and how battery energy storage systems operate and are integrated.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with high-voltage, medium-voltage, or low-voltage power conversion, power factor correction, LLC/resonant conversion, isolated gate drivers, or digital power control.
- Knowledge of 48 V, 12 V, direct 48 V-to-point-of-load, multiphase, voltage regulator modules, or high-current processor/accelerator power architectures.
- Experience with point-of-load regulators, fast transient response, thermal management, eFuse protection, rack power, server power supply units, or battery cell monitoring and active cell balancing.
- Knowledge of functional safety, high-voltage safety, isolation, diagnostics, controller area network protocols, Ethernet, embedded software, real-time control, Linux, or scripting.
- Ability to travel up to 25% of the time, primarily within the United States, and work onsite at the office or customer locations three days per week.
