About Us

Graphcoreis a globally recognised leader in Artificial Intelligence computing systems. The company designs advanced semiconductors and data centre hardware that provide the specialised processing power needed to drive AI innovation, while delivering the efficiency required to support its broader adoption.

As part of the Soft Bank Group,Graphcoreis a member of an elite family of companies responsible for some of the world’s most transformative technologies. We are opening a new AI Engineering Campus in Austin, which will playa central rolein

Graphcore'swork building the future of AI computing.

Job Overview:

Graphcoreis seeking a Principal Engineer, Power Engineering to aid in defining the architecture of the power delivery components from grid to chip. You will work closely with multiple cross-functional teams, including hardware engineers, firmware developers, and datacenteroperations, to ensure the infrastructure we build meets customer requirements as well asattainingstandards of performance, reliability, and scalability.

This role will be based in Austin or San Jose and could potentially be performed onsite or remotely within the US.

Responsibilities:

• Provide thought leadership, planning, and design for power delivery from datacenterpower drop through delivery to systems & chips
• Establish power roadmap. Work with vendors to ensure their planned future technologies are pulled into our system engineering roadmap AND ensure that our (system engineering) requiredtechnological innovation is being driven into their (power vendor) roadmap. Work to improve reliability and efficiency of power engineeringcomponentover time.
• Rack-level power components. Competency with specification of hardware and firmware for rack-level power shelves. Competency with design for resiliency.
• Set power policies in the datacenterfor: power buffer/over subscription, scheduling of jobs based on power, and monitoring (power quality faults) / accommodation faults. Resolve telemetry and data needed to support power policy algorithms.
• Ensure robustness of IT power in the presence of grid disturbances and make sure that IT power loads are compatible with grid power requirements (“good grid power citizen”)
• Board and system-level power regulation components. Understand and able to apply current VRM, TLDR, and POL technologies. Help to develop new technologies to increase efficiency. Understand manufacturing capabilities and limitations ofnew technology. Drive
• Provide guidance to the power equipment manufacturers, ODM and engineering teams on the required testing and validation procedures for power hardware and firmware components.
• Develop and test hardware prototypes as needed to support the exploration and validation of new concepts in power delivery.
• Tackle and resolve sophisticated power hardware and firmware issues as needed.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations.

Required Skills and Experience :

• Bachelor’s or Master’sor PhD degree in Electrical Engineering with a specialized knowledge of Power Engineering.
• demonstrated ability in power system and delivery architecture, design, and development.
