Field Application Engineer - Data Center Power Electronics

Your Role

We are seeking a Field Application Engineer (FAE) with expertise in data center power conversion systems. The successful candidate will provide technical leadership and customer support for power electronics solutions used in data center infrastructure, including high‑efficiency AC‑DC, DC‑DC converters, power supplies, and power management ICs. A deep understanding of power semiconductor devices, advanced topologies, and system‑level design for high‑density, high‑reliability data center applications is essential.

• Development, testing, and validation of AC‑DC, DC‑DC converters, power supplies, and power management systems tailored for data center environments.
• Assist customers in the development, testing and validation of power systems for data center applications.
• Troubleshoot complex application issues related to power conversion systems, including thermal management, EMI/EMC compliance, and reliability challenges.
• Collaborate with sales and marketing teams to promote ST’s power semiconductor products and system solutions targeted at data center applications.
• Capture market trends, customer feedback, and emerging technology requirements to guide product development and roadmap planning.
• Develop and deliver technical training, application notes, demo boards, and presentations focused on data center power electronics.
• Work closely with R&D and product engineering teams to improve product robustness, performance, and manufacturability.
• Support PCB layout reviews and provide design recommendations for multilayer boards used in high-current, high-density, high switching frequency power electronics.
• Participate in customer design reviews, prototype bring‑up, and qualification activities.
• Manage relationships with key customers and power electronics suppliers to ensure successful project execution.
• Travel to customer sites and industry events as needed to provide on‑site support and technical training.

• 6+ years of experience with data center power standards and architectures (e.g., 800 V power distribution, 48 V power distribution, Open Compute Project specifications).
• Design of high frequency AC‑DC and DC‑DC converters with wide bandgap power semiconductors.
• PCB design with electronic CADs such as Altium.
• Experience with matrix transformer design technologies.
• Knowledge of digital power control and firmware development.
• Familiarity with reliability testing and qualification processes for power electronics.
• Experience with 32‑bit microcontroller programming in C/C++.
• Experience working in semiconductor or power electronics industries supporting OEMs or system integrators.
• Hands‑on experience with electrical test equipment (oscilloscopes, power analyzers, spectrum analyzers).
• Ability to analyze test data and communicate technical results effectively.
• Experience with high‑current, high‑efficiency power supply design and thermal management techniques.
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC design considerations and compliance testing.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

The base annual salary range for this role is between $117,900 and $147,400 USD.
