Field Applications Engineer Analog & Power - Local To The Boston/New England Area
About The Position
Renesas is seeking a Field Applications Engineer focused on analog and power solutions to serve as the technical lead for customers in New England and Eastern Canada. The role supports system-level design engagements and pre- and post-design activities, including schematic reviews, component selection, technical guidance, and issue resolution, helping customers progress from design-in to design-win and production revenue. The engineer will translate component-level expertise into system-level solutions and build trusted relationships with customers and internal teams. The position involves close collaboration with sales, field applications, distribution, product marketing, and business-unit teams; field feedback to product divisions; and customer training and technical presentations. The role is remote, but the candidate must be located in New England, preferably in the Boston area, and must travel as needed for key customer engagements, approximately 10–20% or less.
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.
- Must be located in New England; the Boston area is preferred.
- Willingness to travel as needed for key customer engagements, approximately 10–20% or less.
Nice To Haves
- Master of Science in Electrical Engineering preferred.
- Deep expertise in power conversion and management, including buck/boost converters, PMICs, and LDOs.
- Knowledge of 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 in system-level power-architecture design; schematic and PCB layout review, particularly for power integrity and thermal considerations; and bench characterization, validation, and debugging of power systems.
- Ability to work across domains, including interactions between power and MCUs/MPUs, DDR, high-speed interfaces, and connectivity subsystems.
- Hands-on laboratory proficiency with oscilloscopes, power analyzers, thermal analysis, and transient-response measurements.
- Strong communication skills and ability to translate technical content into customer-facing solutions and value propositions.
- Self-driven, highly collaborative approach and ability to own complex technical engagements.
Responsibilities
- Lead customer power-architecture development, including power-tree design, device selection, and system optimization.
- Perform technical design reviews, root-cause analysis, and hands-on debugging of 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 alignment between power, processor, and connectivity subsystems.
- Provide direct technical guidance to customers to help advance designs from concept to production revenue.
- Provide actionable field feedback to product divisions to influence roadmaps, feature prioritization, and system-solution gaps.
- Develop and deliver customer training, technical seminars, design workshops, and internal enablement content.
- Build 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 debug and production readiness.
- Support cross-functional engagements where power is a critical system dependency, including MCU/MPU, AI, and connectivity platforms.
- Travel as needed for key customer engagements, approximately 10–20% or less.
Benefits
- Competitive benefits package; further information will be provided during the hiring process.
- Eligible for bonus opportunities.
