Your Role

Key responsibilities in your new role

In this role as a strategic and technically accomplished leader, you will head our Product Definition Engineering (PDE) team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between customer system requirements and breakthrough power silicon. You will lead a high-performing team responsible for defining next-generation power delivery products, including digital controllers, point-of-load (POL) converters, and vertical power delivery modules (VPDMs), specifically optimized for High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure.

* Lead, mentor, and scale an inclusive team of PDEs; foster a culture of ownership, innovation, and accountability.

* Build a highly visible, customer-centric function; translate complex platform needs into actionable roadmaps and rigorous PRDs/system specs.

* Own requirements and set the architectural vision for digital multiphase controllers, integrated power stages (DrMOS), and advanced VPDMs (control schemes, phase scaling, telemetry, protection).

* Drive innovation in high-density, Low-voltage power solutions for next-gen CPUs/GPUs/AI accelerators.

* Ensure cross-functional alignment with IC Design, Firmware, Marketing, and Operations; lead system trade-offs (integration, efficiency vs. density, thermal) to meet performance, cost, and scalability goals.

* Partner with Systems Application Engineering to deliver robust validation across transient, thermal, and EMI/EMC metrics.

* Engage the industry (Hyperscalers, OEMs, platform architects) and provide technical advocacy and deep-dive reviews to position our products as the ecosystem's gold standard (e.g., co-packaged power)
