The Mac organization is looking for an outstanding engineer to support the system-level Power Distribution Network (PDN) design, analysis and validation aspects of Mac and Accessory products development. You should have deep knowledge and familiarity with power delivery network design, analysis and validation methods. You will work with multi-functional teams to design and implement a power supply network solution, develop and validate impedance and droop targets, and verify the quality of the power supply using lab and in-situ silicon measurements.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The role involves pathfinding studies in the silicon development phase where feedback is provided to the silicon and packaging team on system integration tradeoffs. Ability to complete target impedance analysis, transient voltage droop and phase margin/stability analysis is required. The candidate is expected to guide and work closely with the system team on the component selections, for optimum power solutions with high and low load transient, at different performance states. The candidate is expected to work closely with System Design teams to provide detailed layout strategy and guidelines during the design execution phase. The candidate is also expected to work with HW Validation teams to develop test-suites to perform system-level validation for evaluation of design margins on the power domains. The role includes the power integrity support throughout the product design process which can include system pathfinding and verification stages, and characterization reviews with continuing guidance through production and ramp.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- M.S Degree with 4~7 years relevant work experience.
- You must have proven technical understanding of power supply architectures covering voltage regulator technologies, power distribution network (PDN) modeling, PCB design practices and trade-offs for PDN design and optimization.
- Skills with associated tools for 2.5D (PowerSI, SIWave, Sentinel-PI, nSys), 3D Full wave (HFSS, nWave), quasi-static tools (Q3D, nApex) is required.
- Relevant proven understanding of HSPICE, Spectre, AMS, and Simplis models for system-level transient droop analysis is also vital.
- Understanding of die-package-board power delivery network co-design constraints and tradeoffs.
- Ability to work with multiple cross-functional teams to make the right trade-offs on the system performance is a must.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- PhD with minimum 3-4 years experience.
- You should have a good understanding of multi-phase of Buck/Boost converter and LDO design principles, operating modes, and system integration care-about.
- Deep Experience in CPM (Chip-Power-Model) usage for system transient analysis is an added benefit.
- Hands-on experiences on package or board layout with Cadence tools is a plus. The candidate with this skill is expected to perform proof of concept layout study with Cadence tools.
- Experience with Python, MATLAB or other programming languages is desired.
- Excellent documentation and communication skills, ability to work independently and interest to mentor as well as demonstrated ability to innovate are required.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Power Systems Engineer
Translate your Australian credentials for U.S. employers
Engineers Australia membership and NPER registration aren't immediately recognizable to U.S. hiring managers. Pair them with a credential evaluation letter and frame your experience around IEEE standards and NERC compliance to signal readiness for U.S. grid work.
Target utilities with active DOL LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data for employers who have filed LCAs for Power Systems Engineer or Electrical Engineer roles. Repeated filings signal an HR team already familiar with E-3 sponsorship paperwork.
Distinguish E-3 from H-1B in every employer conversation
Many U.S. employers assume all work visa sponsorship means H-1B lottery risk. Clarify upfront that your E-3 requires no lottery, no annual cap wait, and can be filed directly with the consulate, keeping your start date predictable.
Verify your role meets specialty occupation requirements
Power systems roles typically qualify, but job descriptions that list a degree as preferred rather than required can trigger E-3 denial. Ask your prospective employer to confirm the job posting requires a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a directly related field.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for your LCA and paperwork
Once you have an offer, the LCA must be certified by the DOL before your visa appointment. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment, so nothing delays your start date.
Prepare for consulate questions on nonimmigrant intent
E-3 is a nonimmigrant visa, so consular officers assess whether you intend to return to Australia. Bring documentation of ties to Australia alongside your job offer, LCA, and degree transcripts to demonstrate your temporary intent clearly.
E-3 Visa Power Systems Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Power Systems Engineer jobs that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to search for Power Systems Engineer roles where employers are already open to E-3 sponsorship. Many U.S. utilities and energy companies sponsor E-3 visas but don't advertise it explicitly in job postings, so filtering by sponsorship willingness saves significant time in your search.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Is the E-3 visa better than the H-1B for Power Systems Engineer roles?
For Australian engineers, the E-3 has a clear structural advantage: there's no lottery and no annual cap, so your employer can file whenever a role is ready. The H-1B selection rate has dropped significantly in recent years, meaning qualified engineers can wait years for a slot. The E-3 removes that uncertainty entirely, making it far more predictable for both you and your employer.
Does a Power Systems Engineer role qualify as an E-3 specialty occupation?
Yes, in the vast majority of cases. Power systems engineering requires a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a closely related field, which satisfies the DOL's specialty occupation definition. The main risk is if an employer's job description uses language like 'degree preferred' rather than 'degree required,' which can create problems during LCA review. Always confirm the job posting specifies a degree as a requirement.
Can I switch employers after starting work on an E-3 visa?
Yes, but you need a new LCA and a new visa stamp tied to the new employer before you start working for them. Your E-3 status is employer-specific, so you can't simply transfer it. The new employer files a fresh LCA with the DOL, and you'll typically need a new consulate appointment in Australia to obtain the updated visa, which takes several weeks to arrange.
