• 8+ years of experience in DCDC and ACDC power design, platform engineering, system validation, or hardware debugging.
• Strong knowledge of CPU/GPU platform power delivery map, including multiphase VRMs, point-of-load regulators, sequencing, telemetry, transient response, efficiency, thermal, and protections.
• Experience using AMD SDLE or equivalent voltage-regulator vendor tools for configuration, telemetry, analysis, and debugging.
• Good understanding of motherboard architecture, power-management firmware, BIOS interaction, low-power states, and system-level integration.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical investigations and drive complex issues to closure.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in both English and Mandarin.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
