About The Position

Renesas is seeking a highly motivated Field Applications Engineer specializing in analog and power to support customers in New England and Eastern Canada. The role serves as the technical lead for power and analog solutions and supports system-level design engagements, including pre- and post-design activities such as schematic review, component selection, technical resource guidance, and issue resolution. The position aims to help customers progress from design-in to design-win and from concept through production readiness. The engineer translates component-level expertise into system-level solutions and builds trusted relationships with customers and internal teams. The role involves collaborating with sales, field applications engineers, distribution, product marketing, and business-unit teams; providing feedback to product divisions; and supporting cross-functional projects where power is a critical dependency, including MCU/MPU, AI, and connectivity platforms. The role is remote, with the employee required to be located in New England; the Boston area is preferred. Travel to customer engagements is approximately 10–20% or less as needed.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
At least 3 years of experience in analog and power electronics in a customer-facing or design role.
Willingness to be located in New England; the Boston area is preferred.
Ability to travel as needed for key customer engagements, approximately 10–20% or less.
Strong communication skills and ability to translate technical content into customer-facing solutions and value propositions.
Ability to work collaboratively and independently, and to take ownership of complex technical engagements.

Nice To Haves

Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.
Deep expertise in power conversion and management, including buck/boost converters, PMICs, and LDOs.
Expertise in power-tree sequencing and optimization.
Experience with battery-powered system design, including fuel gauging, charging, and protection.
Strong understanding of analog signal chains, including amplifiers, data converters, sensors, filtering, noise, stability, and signal-integrity considerations.
Experience with system-level power architecture design, schematic and PCB layout review (especially power integrity and thermal considerations), and bench characterization, validation, and debugging of power systems.
Ability to work across domains and understand power interactions with MCUs/MPUs, DDR, high-speed interfaces, and connectivity subsystems.

Responsibilities

Lead customer power architecture development, including power-tree design, device selection, and system optimization.
Conduct technical design reviews, root-cause analysis, and hands-on debugging for complex analog and power-related issues.
Drive new-product evaluations and competitive positioning for Renesas power and analog products, including PMICs, DC/DC converters, GaN and MOSFETs, LDOs, battery management, and signal-chain products.
Perform hands-on laboratory work, including board bring-up, measurement, validation, and failure analysis.
Support system-level design integration and ensure alignment among power, processor, and connectivity subsystems.
Provide direct technical guidance to customers to accelerate designs from concept to production revenue.
Provide field feedback to product divisions to influence roadmaps, feature prioritization, and system-solution gaps.
Develop and deliver customer training, technical seminars, presentations, design workshops, and internal enablement content.
Establish strong relationships with sales, FAEs, and distribution, serving as the regional power and analog expert.
Partner with product marketing and business-unit teams to align field needs with product roadmaps.
Lead customers through power-design challenges from architecture through debugging and production readiness.
Support cross-functional engagements where power is a critical system dependency, including MCU/MPU, AI, and connectivity platforms.
