About The Position

Renesas is seeking a Staff Analog Design Engineer to serve as a technical focal point for major analog and power-management circuit blocks within complex PMIC and mixed-signal products. The engineer applies specialized technical expertise to challenging circuit-design problems, determines appropriate methods and technical approaches for new assignments, and owns significant designs from architecture and feasibility through silicon validation and production.

The role remains hands-on in circuit design while providing technical guidance, leading design reviews, mentoring engineers, and improving analog-design methods, reusable IP, and engineering practices. It involves collaboration across engineering functions and support for customer-facing technical discussions and RFQ activities. Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates throughout the United States. Remote work is not available.

Renesas is an embedded semiconductor solution provider with a global team of over 21,000 engineers and problem solvers in more than 30 countries. Its technologies serve Automotive, Industrial, Infrastructure, and IoT markets. The company describes its culture as Transparent, Agile, Global, Innovative, and Entrepreneurial. Renesas offers a competitive benefits package, with more information provided during the hiring process. Renesas is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer. The role may involve technology subject to U.S. export controls; export-license decisions are at Renesas’s discretion.

• Experience designing complex analog and/or power-management circuits.
• Experience taking significant circuit blocks from specification through tape-out, silicon evaluation, and production.
• Strong understanding of analog layout considerations, parasitics, matching, noise, stability, and physical-design trade-offs.
• Ability to independently select and adapt design methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for complex engineering problems.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct design reviews and provide effective technical guidance.
• Experience collaborating across Analog, Digital, Verification, Layout, Applications, Test, and Product Engineering.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, written, verbal, and presentation skills.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across global engineering teams.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics Engineering, or a related discipline with a minimum of 8 years of related experience; or a master’s degree in a related engineering discipline with a minimum of 6 years of related experience; or a PhD in a related engineering discipline with a minimum of 3 years of related experience; or equivalent relevant education and work experience.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with PMICs, DC/DC converters, LDOs, charger products, control loops, voltage and current references, or other power-management technologies.
• Experience with mixed-signal or top-level verification.
• Experience with silicon characterization, laboratory evaluation, and root-cause analysis.
• Experience developing reusable analog IP or improving circuit-design methodologies.
• Experience mentoring other analog IC designers.
• Experience with automotive, industrial, or other high-reliability semiconductor applications.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the technical owner for major analog and power-management circuit blocks.
• Translate product requirements into block- and subsystem-level architectures and design strategies.
• Lead the design, simulation, verification, and layout supervision of complex CMOS power-management circuits.
• Determine design methods, techniques, and evaluation criteria for complex new assignments.
• Conduct feasibility studies and architectural trade-off analyses for new circuit concepts.
• Own circuit performance against functional, power, area, robustness, quality, and schedule requirements.
• Lead technical and design reviews for assigned circuitry and provide technical guidance to other engineers.
• Work closely with Layout Engineering to optimize physical implementation and resolve layout-dependent performance issues.
• Lead laboratory evaluation and silicon characterization activities in collaboration with Applications and Validation Engineering.
• Identify and resolve complex cross-functional design issues during silicon bring-up and production ramp.
• Collaborate with DFT, Verification, Test, and Product Engineering on chip-level verification, test strategy, qualification, and production readiness.
• Develop and improve analog-design methods, reusable IP, technical practices, and design documentation.
• Coach and mentor less experienced analog designers and serve as a technical resource within the engineering team.
• Support customer-facing technical discussions and RFQ activities as part of the broader project team.

Benefits

• Competitive benefits package; further information will be provided during the hiring process.
• Relocation assistance is available for qualified candidates throughout the United States.
