Who we are: We are a stealth-mode startup building foundational technology to address performance, scalability, and resiliency challenges in large-scale AI data center clusters. We are backed by top-tier VC firms and notable angel investors. The company is led by experienced builders and operators who have founded companies, taken them to scale, and exited successfully. We work with a strong sense of unity and shared responsibility, and we expect trust, integrity, and respect in how we collaborate and make decisions. We hold ourselves accountable to one another and to the quality of the work we deliver. Headquartered in Silicon Valley, we operate across a mix of remote and on-site locations in the U.S. and Canada. We aim to create an environment where people are treated fairly, supported in their growth, and empowered to do meaningful work alongside others who take the craft seriously. About the role: We are seeking a Principal Power Design Engineer to own the design, implementation, and validation of the power delivery systems that support our high-performance AI compute hardware. AI compute systems create extreme, high-frequency transient current steps that can destabilize hardware, introduce power supply noise, and corrupt sensitive high-speed data links. In this role, you will be responsible for component selection, schematic design, layout oversight, and hands-on lab validation of high-current power subsystems. You will design and test multi-phase voltage regulators, point-of-load converters, and sequencing circuitry to ensure our systems remain stable under demanding, dynamic AI inference workloads.
