About The Position

Renesas Electronics is expanding its Configurable Mixed-Signal Division (CMSD), the team behind the market-leading GreenPAK™ product family. With billions of units shipped globally, this customer-configurable platform enables companies to differentiate their products, reduce BOM costs, and accelerate development times across automotive, industrial, data center, and consumer applications. As we continuously expand our portfolio to include high-performance analog IPs, DC-DC converters, and FPGAs, we are seeking an Analog Senior Staff Engineer – High-Voltage Analog/Precision to join our R&D organization. As an Analog Senior Staff Engineer, you will design and verify complex analog block-level and sub-system circuits to meet the functional and performance specifications of custom mixed-signal ASICs to give the company a competitive advantage in the IC market. It will be your responsibility to perform feasibility studies and analyze new analog design concepts. You will be involved in the comparison of competitor solutions and propose differentiating solutions.
