About The Position

The Module Engineering Technician provides hands-on execution support to the Module Product Engineering and Test Engineering teams in Tempe, AZ. This role directly supports PE/TE engineers focused on New Product Introduction (NPI) for advanced power modules, with occasional support to sustaining engineering activities. This is a hands-on execution role. The technician will collect data, build fixtures and cabling, rework PCBs, debug test setups, calibrate testers, coordinate module sample logistics, execute customer sample testing, support module electrical debug, and maintain a clean and organized engineering workspace. The ideal candidate is a semiconductor-experienced technician who is comfortable at the bench, works well with engineers, and has board rework and fixture construction experience. Renesas Electronics, a leading global semiconductor company, is rapidly scaling its AI-focused power delivery business. Products include high-performance digital power VRMs, multiphase controllers, Smart Power Stages (SPS), Vertical Power Stages (SPS with integrated capacitors and multiple silicon die), Power Towers (power modules integrating multiple SPS-equivalents with capacitors and inductors), and power MOSFETs.
