Electrical Engineer Power Systems
Join us as a Electrical Engineer Power Systems on our Concept Engineering team in [Location] to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact.
Dell’s Concept Engineering organization is responsible for exploring the boundaries of next‑generation datacenter and AI server architectures. Our cross‑functional team develops early‑phase designs, proof‑of‑concept systems, and technology demonstrations that influence Dell’s long-term product strategy. We work at the intersection of electrical, mechanical, thermal, and system architecture to define what comes next.
What you’ll achieve
We are seeking a highly experienced Electrical Engineer specializing in high‑current and high‑voltage power distribution. If you have designed power distribution systems for demanding environments—such as electric vehicles, industrial power systems, high‑density compute platforms, or advanced energy storage—this role will leverage your deep expertise.
You will architect and design high-current DC bus bars, power shelves, HV/LV distribution networks, and high‑power PCB assemblies that support the next generation of AI compute platforms and datacenter rack-level architectures. This is an early‑concept role: you will explore new technologies, build prototypes, evaluate new materials, and guide system‑level decisions long before products enter development.
You will:
Lead the design, architecture, and analysis of high‑current, low‑voltage DC power‑distribution systems (1 kW–100 kW+) for AI server and rack‑scale platforms, including bus bars, high‑power PCBAs, and early‑phase power‑delivery concepts
Develop rack‑level power‑delivery components such as power shelves and battery interfaces, creating system‑level topologies focused on safety, thermal performance, and electrical integrity
Perform advanced simulations for current density, thermal behavior, electromagnetic/inductive/resistive effects, isolation/creepage/clearance, and EMI/EMC in high‑current applications
Collaborate cross‑functionally with mechanical, thermal, and architecture teams to deliver manufacturable, scalable designs and support rapid prototyping, bring‑up, and early validation
Document designs, drive trade studies, stay current on materials/connector technologies, and contribute to product strategy for next‑generation AI server power‑delivery platforms
Essential Requirements
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field) with 10+ years of experience in high‑power electrical system design across EV power paths, industrial/UPS systems, or high‑current DC/HV distribution
Expertise in designing high‑current DC bus bars, power shelves, and high‑power distribution assemblies
Strong experience with high‑current PCB design, including heavy‑copper layouts, embedded bus bars, and >100 A trace design
Deep understanding of UL/IEC safety standards, creepage/clearance requirements, and power‑system protection principles
Strong cross‑functional communication skills with the ability to operate effectively in early‑concept, ambiguous design environments
Desirable Requirements
Experience with rack‑scale or server‑level power architectures, AI server design constraints (thermal, mechanical, interconnect), and hands‑on work such as rapid prototyping, custom bus‑bar fabrication, or HV system bring‑up
Strong proficiency with simulation tools, including multiphysics solvers (Ansys, COMSOL), SPICE/PLECS for power‑system modeling, and thermal‑analysis tools for high‑current conductors
Compensation
Dell is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The salary range for this position is $221k - $286k.
