Senior Power Systems Architect

Amphenol Communications Solutions (ACS), a division of Amphenol Corporation, is a world leader in interconnect solutions for Communications, Mobile, RF, Optics, and Commercial electronics markets. Amphenol Corporation is one of the world’s largest designers and manufacturers of electrical, electronic and fiber optic connectors and interconnect systems, antennas, sensors and sensor-based products and coaxial and high-speed specialty cable. ACS has an expansive global presence in research and development, manufacturing, and sales.

We design and manufacture a wide range of innovative connectors as well as cable assemblies for diverse applications including server, storage, data center, mobile, RF, networking, industrial, business equipment, and automotive.

The Senior Power Systems Architect is a customer-facing technical role at the intersection of system-level power architecture and connector/cable interconnect engineering. Working directly with hyperscalers, GPU/CPU partners, infrastructure partners, and Rack Power ODMs to understand current and future power delivery architectures and turn that insight into connector and cable power solutions. The role sits between the customer's engineering teams and internal product development engineering, R&D, and applications engineering, acting as the primary technical liaison who gathers technical requirements, aligns architecture with product capability, and presents solutions back to the customer.

Senior Power Systems Architect works under only general direction, independently determining their approach to customer support. Owning the technical relationship for one or more key customers and/or key programs to drive technical requirements through to documented interconnect specifications and design wins.

• Technical Requirements:
  Independently own the technical requirements-gathering relationship with customer engineering teams for power architecture requirements.
• Architecture translation:
  Translate system-level power architecture (e.g., 800V bus conversion, sidecar or vertical power delivery, busbar distribution) into connector and cable technology requirements to define product development.
• Customer-facing solutioning:
  Lead power architecture discussions with customer engineering teams, presenting connector/cable solution options, trade-offs, and roadmap alignment.
• Cross-functional alignment:
  Partner with product engineering, manufacturing, and R&D to shape roadmap decisions in response to customer power architecture requirements.
• Specification development:
  Develop and own technical requirement documents and specification inputs that drive new product development and design-in activities.
• Design-in support:
  Lead qualification, validation, and design-in activities for new power interconnect solutions at customer sites.
• Industry Standards:
  Track and begin contributing to relevant industry standards and consortia (e.g., OCP, hyperscaler-specific specifications) that shape power delivery and interconnect roadmaps.
• Voice of customer:
  Deliver customer and market insight back into internal roadmap and new product development.
• Mentor Associate (Junior) Engineers and review their technical outputs.
• Identify architecture shifts (e.g., new bus voltages, new form factors) early enough to influence internal roadmap planning.

• Bachelor or Master of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or related engineering technical field.
• Bachelor’s degree with 5-8 years of experience in power connector, systems engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Master’s degree with 3-6 years of experience in power connector, systems engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• Demonstrated experience translating system-level power…
