Developing technologies takes more than talent: it takes amazing people who understand collaboration and respect. People with passion and the desire to disrupt the status quo,  drive innovation, and unlock their own potential. 

Embark on a journey with us, where you can innovate for a future that we want to make smarter and greener, in a responsible and sustainable way. Our technology starts with you.

YOUR ROLE 

We are seeking multiple (3) highly skilled Field Application Engineers (FAEs) with 6+ years strong 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 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.

Key Responsibilities

  • 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.

Skills

  • Proven experience with data center power standards and architectures (e.g.,800V 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.
  • Design and experience on 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 microcontrollers 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.
At STMicroelectronics, base salary is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range depending on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location. 

The base annual salary range for this role is between $132,100 - $165,100 USD
