Meta runs a massive hardware infrastructure. The computational problems are big and they keep changing. Your work will shape the power strategies for the compute and AI hardware going into our data centers.

We are looking for an experienced power engineer to set the technical direction for power across our server infrastructure.

The scope is the full power chain, from the data center interface to the die. Everything between the building's electrical infrastructure and the IT load, high-voltage DC distribution to the rack, AC/DC and DC/DC conversion in the rack, and DC/DC power delivery on the board. Point of load conversion and power delivery networks feed our accelerators and CPUs at hundreds of amps and sub millivolt tolerances.

The multi-hundred-kilowatt AI rack is where they meet.

This is a technical leadership role that owns the power roadmap. Internally, the role works with silicon, platform, thermal, data center design, and capacity teams to define where power architecture needs to go two to three generations out. Externally, it is Meta's technical voice with power vendors, ODMs, and the industry.

That includes the Open Compute Project, where we have contributed our designs for over a decade.

Technical Lead, Power Systems Infrastructure Responsibilities

• Own Meta's multi-generation rack and row power architecture strategy. This spans AC/DC and DC/DC in the rack and high-voltage DC delivery to the rack. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to adopt architectures across infrastructure
• Own the DC/DC power conversion architecture for accelerators and CPUs. Point of load topology, power delivery network design, vertical power delivery, telemetry and control. Drive it with silicon, package, and platform teams from silicon requirements through production
• Set the technical direction for power technology development and industry alignment. Supplier and ecosystem readiness has to match the hardware roadmap at scale. This applies to AC/DC and DC/DC
• Set the technical bar for power design, review, and qualification across the organization. Be the final technical authority in design reviews and architecture decisions with fleet-wide consequences
• Find and de-risk emerging power technologies ahead of program need. 800V DC distribution, solid state transformers, high density conversion, energy storage and ride through
• Represent Meta with power vendors, ODMs, and standards bodies including the Open Compute Project. Shape industry roadmaps so the supply base can meet our requirements
• Own Meta's power strategy at the data center interface. Rack input voltage and topology, busway and whip interfaces, power factor and harmonics, redundancy model, ride through and energy storage placement, and the power capping and telemetry contract with the site. Drive one position with Data Center Design, and Capacity
• Work with silicon, platform, thermal, data center design, and capacity teams to resolve power-driven trade-offs at the system and site level. Power budget, efficiency, TCO, and deployability
• Lead the rack-level power roadmap with cross-functional teams and vendor partners to achieve long-term scalability of Meta's power infrastructure
• Grow the technical depth of the power organization. Mentor senior engineers and raise design and review quality
• Drive the resolution of the highest severity power issues in the field. Use production experience to gain improvements in vendor and internal design quality

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, or equivalent practical experience
• 15+ years in power electronics, including AC/DC and DC/DC conversion topologies at high power, active PFC, PWM, and resonant converters
• Experience with high current, low voltage DC/DC power delivery to processors or accelerators. Multi-phase point of load conversion and power delivery network design
• Track record of delivering high-power products into volume production, through the full design cycle
• 10+ years of experience with rack-level or data center power system design and deployment
• Experience setting technical direction across multiple product generations and multiple teams
• Experience driving technical alignment with external suppliers and industry partners, and influencing their roadmaps
• Experience defining power requirements and interfaces at the data center boundary, working with data center design, electrical engineering, or utility-facing teams
• Experience with schematic, layout, and simulation tools such as Cadence, PSpice, or Simetrix/Simplis
• Experience in writing design specifications, design guidelines, and qualification plans
• Experience influencing senior technical and business stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

• Ongoing AI skill development. Prompt and context engineering, agent orchestration, staying current with emerging AI technologies
• Experience with data center power delivery at MW scale, including high voltage DC distribution
• Familiarity with data center electrical infrastructure. MV/LV distribution, switchgear, UPS, and battery systems, generators, and the standards that govern them
• Experience with vertical power delivery, integrated voltage regulators, or other ways to reduce PDN loss at the die
• Experience with power supply qualification standards and processes, such as component derating, MTBF, and EMC, and with safety standards and their application process
• Experience with power delivery for AI accelerator racks or comparable high density compute
• Industry contributions in power conversion or distribution. OCP specifications, standards body participation, publications, or patents
• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Power Electronics
• Familiarity with digital bus designs such as I2C/PMBus, Modbus, and CANbus
• Ability to integrate AI tools to redesign workflows and drive measurable impact. Ability to integrate AI tools to redesign workflows and drive measurable impact, such as efficiency gains and quality improvements
• Experience with product brings up and power supply testing methodologies
