TechPowerUp is Hiring a Power Supply (PSU) Reviewer

TPU is looking to hire a PC enthusiast or professional to review PC power supplies (PSUs) full-time. Our current reviewer suvirintojas put out some great work with us since 2023, but has changes in his life that require his attention. We thank him for the wonderful work and hope we find a replacement of equal caliber. TechPowerUp PSU reviews tend to be highly technical, as we dive into the finer aspects of the PSU's switching performance, and quality of electrical output across various voltage domains. We also focus on noise levels and efficiency.

The PSU industry is in a state of transition toward newer standards such as ATX 3.1, PCIe Gen 5 CEM, and perhaps even ATX12VO, which means we'll never run out of new PSUs to review for at least the next few years. This is where you step in—we are looking for a PSU reviewer with fairly high availability for a significant output of reviews. We can help arrange as many PSU samples as you can handle.
  • The position is paid, part-time, remote, meaning you'll work from your own testing setup
  • This means you need some space for equipment to conduct the testing and photography
  • We don't have an exact number in mind, but we're looking for several reviews each month, ideally one a week, more if you can. Please only apply if you think you'll have enough time to achieve this throughput eventually (once you've got a routine figured out)
  • While you may already have some contacts with PSU manufacturers, we're happy to connect you with them to ensure a steady supply of review units
  • If you have our own testing equipment, that's great, but we can also provide gear for you
  • For an idea of our testing process, you can check out our recent PSU reviews. This review structure is not rigid—your feedback is always welcome, and we'll work to onboard you with our in-house content management system
  • You must have a decent understanding of a power supply and its internals, you don't have to be able to design one yourself
  • We don't expect literary works from you, but you must be able to write decent English. Additionally, you should have basic image editing skills to process your photos
  • For shipping logistics, we strongly prefer candidates located in the EU, UK, US, CA, TW, CN and JP (in no particular order). However, if you believe you are exceptional, feel free to make your case. We may consider waiving this requirement for the right candidate
TechPowerUp is a multinational organization with team members across ten time zones. Despite our geographic spread, we've built a tight-knit, collaborative environment, driven by a shared passion for tech. We're geeks at heart. If you're enthusiastic about PC hardware and gaming, and enjoy working in a committed team, we'd love to hear from you.

E-mail your resume to w1zzard@techpowerup.com along with a cover letter on why you think you're the ideal candidate for this position. Please include some basic details about yourself and where you're from. Optionally, you may provide examples of your work in any content medium (text, YouTube, etc.). It's okay if you're not a PSU reviewer, and think you have what it takes to become one.

I'd much rather have proper reviews than someone who's afraid to step on a few toes. Life goes on, no one was murdered. :slap:

Off-site conduct can lead to a bad look. TPU doesn't need someone stepping on toes on other forums.

Not literally, I hope... A typewriter that can explode is not an appealing thought.

he did that to this forums? When and why? shit ive been idle away from here for too long then.

If only I had half my old equipment, I would give it a shot. But I never knew how to drag on an article. I would just say "its good" or "it sucks"

Eh, only if I were actually at least adept at testing PSUs and making sense of their insides. Writing skills are there, spare time is there, yet I'm underqualified from the tech perspective. Also logistics sucks.

CheeseballWe miss you @crmaris :love:
thank you! But I only write for my own site now, hardware busters and I have so much going on with Cybenetics. It was fun working for TPU all these years and I am still close with these guys, especially Wizzard, I consider them close friends, but I had to move on.

Hope they find a good PSU reviewer, worthy of TPU's name!

Not here but to another forum. Don't know his reason but it's not good to do either way.

If you're living in some alternate universe where wrong is right... I have no time for you.

People with more objective opinions are welcome.

One review per week and you call it a part-time job? That would only be possible if you already have all the PSU testing equipment and a clear test procedure with some automation.
