Sr. Staff Strategic Power Conversion Technologist

As a Sr. Staff Power Conversion Technologist, you will serve as a key technical thought leader within the Performance Computing Power organization. You will shape and influence strategic product and technology roadmaps, with a focus on the power distribution architecture spanning from the rack bus bar to the ASIC voltage regulator (VR).

Your mission is to drive compelling system‑level innovation, establish the right factors of merit, and deeply analyze architectural trade‑offs to ensure that Renesas maintains market leadership in high‑performance power delivery.

• Engage deeply with top, market‑defining customers to understand emerging system challenges and requirements.
• Model, simulate, and analyze power converters and full power distribution architectures.
• Evaluate, synthesize, and compare technology options required to realize next‑generation architectures.
• Assess manufacturing flows and identify critical process considerations for advanced 3D heterogeneous power packaging.
• Develop long‑term technology roadmaps spanning packaging, manufacturing processes, and IP development.
• Identify opportunities for differentiated, disruptive products and power technology capabilities.
• Lead advanced feasibility studies, develop detailed specification documents, and drive early prototyping with cross‑functional engineering teams.
• Create methodologies and tools to define and track key KPIs and factors of merit that articulate technical value.
• Build organizational alignment around strategic direction and clearly communicate the “why” behind the roadmap to inspire execution and enthusiasm.

You bring deep expertise in high‑performance power conversion, demonstrating strength across theoretical design, modeling, and real‑world system implementation. You possess a broad technical range across key pillars of advanced power engineering, including:

• Magnetic design
• Passive component selection
• Power device/driver interactions
• System‑level implementation constraints and optimization
• Thermal design

This role requires both strong engineering depth and excellent executive‑level communication skills.

Qualifications:

• MSEE or PhD in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• Directly relevant experience in power electronics, power conversion, PDN design, or system architecture.
• Proficiency with key industry‑standard tools is a significant advantage, including:

• Ansys Q3D and Si‑Wave (parasitic extraction, PDN modeling)
• Ansys Icepak or Siemens Flotherm (thermal simulation)
• Ansys Maxwell (3D magnetic modeling)
• Simplis/Simetrix (electrical modeling, architecture simulation)
• Cadence Allegro or Altium (PCB tools)
