Staff Power Applications Engineer (Data Center)

About the role

At ADI, we are building the next generation of high-performance power solutions to meet the rapidly evolving demands of AI computing, cloud infrastructure, and the intelligent edge. As part of the Data Center Power team, you'll have the opportunity to drive innovation at the heart of the world's most advanced computing systems.

This role is more than a job - it's a chance to make a lasting impact on the global data center ecosystem while advancing your career alongside some of the brightest minds in power technology. You'll work on cutting-edge architectures, collaborate with leading industry partners, and contribute to solutions that push the boundaries of power efficiency, density, and scalability.

The candidate will work in a team of engineers to develop core power products for the data center market, with a focus on multiphase controllers, smart power stages, point-of-load DC/DC converters, and vertical power delivery architectures. This will involve close collaboration with some of the best circuit designers in the industry, armed with the tools, knowledge, and technologies of the leader in power management.

The job requires a strong understanding of power electronics and hands-on laboratory skills. Additional responsibilities include writing circuit documentation and application notes as well as product promotion in front of customers and business development. More specifically, the candidate is expected to contribute in the following areas:

Product Development

• Lead system, architecture, and product definitions for data center core power solutions
• Develop proof-of-concept simulation models and correlate with bench performance
• Engage with key customers on product roadmap discussions, including next-generation voltage regulator and power delivery requirements
• Perform experimental verification of products in development to identify problems and limitations

Product Support

• Generate and validate reference designs for system verification and customer applications
• Develop design collaterals to assist customers, such as datasheets, evaluation kit manuals, application notes, layout guidelines, and simulation models
• Verify and test evaluation kits, and generate evaluation reports for customers
• Support troubleshooting of difficult or unusual technical problems
