Are you passionate about building cool devices and technologies? The Surface Team focuses on lighting up Microsoft experiences with touch first computing. A fundamental part of our strategy is having desirable and powerful devices that enable the experiences people want and elicit their excitement. Creating these devices involves a close partnership between hardware and software engineers, designers, and manufacturing. We are currently building the next generation and Surface needs you!

We are looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer to focus on power and performance of future Surface products. The candidate will possess the ability to collaborate closely with our mechanical and thermal development teams, electrical engineering team, and software/firmware team to optimize system performance and battery life.

The candidate will be experienced in electrical engineering but also understand thermo-mechanical aspects of the active cooling technologies utilized in desktop/laptop computers and consumer electronic devices. Additionally, they should understand power states and power management features in Windows and/or other operating systems, control system theory, PID fan control, and thermal/acoustic tradeoffs as it applies to consumer electronics devices. The candidate should have a good understanding of System-on-Chip (SoC) power/performance trade-offs between frequency, voltage, and power, and voltage and performance binning techniques for SoCs.

 

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
