Server Power Architect
Description
About Our Team
We are hiring a senior Data Center Power Architect for Lenovo’s Cloud Service Provider Group (CSP). This role will lead next-generation end-to-end power architecture for hyperscale, cloud, AI/GPU, server, and storage infrastructure—from data center AC distribution through rack and server DC power delivery.
What You’ll Do
Lead end-to-end power architecture from utility/grid interface to rack and server loads.
Define AC infrastructure covering MV/LV distribution, transformers, switchgear, UPS, generators, PDU, busway, protection, grounding, redundancy, and power quality.
Define rack/server DC architecture covering PSU/power shelves, 48V/54V/12V, DC busbars, BBU/capacitor shelves, DC-DC/POL, and emerging HVDC.
Develop architectures for 100 kW, 200 kW, 500 kW and future MW-class AI racks/pods.
Optimize efficiency, density, availability, redundancy, serviceability, scalability, and cost across the complete power chain.
Analyze peak/dynamic GPU loads, power excursions, transient response, ride-through, backup power, and energy storage.
Develop system/rack power budgets, capacity models, redundancy schemes, and fault-protection strategies.
Evaluate centralized vs. distributed power and emerging AC/DC/HVDC architectures.
Lead architecture trade-offs, specification/design reviews, technology evaluation, and validation strategy.
Develop next-generation data center and rack power technology roadmaps.
Partner with thermal, mechanical, cooling, rack, server, GPU, facilities, and system architecture teams.
Engage hyperscale/cloud customers, suppliers, ODM/OEMs, and technology partners.
Lead complex system/rack power issue root-cause analysis.

10+ years of data center power, critical power infrastructure, rack/server power, or power electronics experience.
Strong expertise in data center AC electrical infrastructure and three-phase power systems.
Experience with transformers, switchgear, UPS, generators, PDU, busway, protection, grounding, and redundancy.
Working knowledge of rack/server DC architectures including 48V/54V, PSU, power shelves, busbars, BBU, and DC-DC conversion.
Strong system-level architecture and technical trade-off capability.
Experience developing power specifications, architecture documents, and validation plans.
Preferred Qualifications
Master’s degree in Electrical/Power Engineering or related field.
Hyperscale, cloud, or AI data center experience.
Experience with 100 kW+ AI racks and MW-class rack/pod architectures.
Knowledge of MV/LV distribution, HVDC, advanced energy storage, and solid-state power conversion.
Knowledge of OCP architectures and IEC, UL, and IEEE requirements.
Understanding of interactions among power, cooling, thermal, mechanical, compute, networking, and rack infrastructure.
Experience engaging directly with hyperscale customers and ecosystem partners.
Strong technical leadership, communication, and executive presentation skills.
