Principal R&D Hardware Design Engineer (Power)

About the role

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is hiring a Principal R&D Hardware Design Engineer (Power) for its networking business, based onsite at an HPE office in Singapore. The engineer acts as a technical authority for power architecture and power circuit design on advanced networking systems, shaping power strategies, efficiency, reliability and scalability across product lines.

Key responsibilities

• Define and own power architecture and power distribution strategies for complex, high-performance networking platforms across product generations
• Design and optimize AC-DC and DC-DC power solutions, including voltage regulators, multiphase converters, hot-swap circuits, protection circuits, sequencing, monitoring and control
• Translate system requirements, load profiles, transient behavior, thermal limits, reliability targets and cost constraints into robust power designs
• Drive component selection and design trade-offs across efficiency, density, transient response, noise, thermal performance, reliability, availability, manufacturability and cost
• Partner with system architects, board designers, signal and power integrity engineers, mechanical and thermal teams, firmware, validation, manufacturing, suppliers and program leadership across global sites
• Lead power design reviews, simulation, schematic development, bring-up, characterization, compliance testing and root-cause investigations from concept through production
• Establish power design standards, reference circuits, modeling practices, derating guidelines and reusable solutions
• Mentor senior engineers and guide technical decision-making

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline
• 10+ years of experience designing power circuits and power distribution systems for complex electronic products or hardware platforms
• Proven track record of solving ambiguous, high-impact power design, bring-up, validation and field issues
• Recognized technical leader who influences power design direction beyond a single team or project

Required skills

• Deep expertise in power conversion and distribution, including DC-DC converters, multiphase regulators, hot-swap and protection circuits, sequencing, telemetry and board-level power delivery
• Hands-on experience with power simulation, measurement, validation and characterization (efficiency, stability, ripple, noise, transient response, thermal performance, fault behavior)
• Schematic and board-level design with Cadence OrCAD and Allegro, and PCB layout for high-current and noise-sensitive power circuits
• Preferred: independent Principal-level decision-making, strong cross-organizational influence, and excellent communication with senior stakeholders
