About the role

  • Renesas is a global semiconductor company delivering innovative embedded processing, analog, power, and connectivity solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Develop executable models and emulation-oriented representations that allow system behavior to be explored before RTL and silicon are complete.
  • Collaborate with analog design experts on ADC and sensing assumptions while focusing ownership on the digital architecture, control data path, emulation behavior, and system-level integration.
  • Work with firmware teams to define observability, debug access, telemetry behavior, configuration flows, and bring-up hooks needed for characterization and customer support.
  • Document architecture clearly for cross-functional execution teams, including assumptions, interface contracts, model behavior, limits, corner cases, and validation expectations.
  • Experience defining ADC-facing digital logic, sensor data paths, telemetry data paths, digital controllers, or control-loop support logic in a semiconductor product environment.
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills, including the ability to align systems, digital design, firmware, analog, verification, validation, applications, and software/tool teams.
  • This role supports advanced power management products for demanding compute, AI, datacenter, and infrastructure applications.
  • Renesas is seeking an experienced Digital Mixed-Signal System Architect to define, model, and validate the digitally implemented mixed-signal data paths used in next-generation digital power management products for AI, datacenter, and high-performance computing applications.
  • The successful candidate will work closely with systems, digital design, firmware, verification, validation, applications, and analog design teams to translate product requirements into executable architecture, emulation-ready models, RTL-facing specifications, and silicon-validation evidence.
  • This is not a traditional analog design role; it is a digital systems architecture role for mixed-signal power products.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
  • Strong understanding of digital signal-processing concepts, fixed-point arithmetic, sampling theory, filtering, timing, latency, quantization, saturation, and numeric precision tradeoffs.

Nice to have

  • Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Signal Processing, Control Systems, Power Electronics, or a related discipline.
  • Experience with digital power controllers, DC/DC converters, voltage regulators, power management ICs, multiphase control, or high-current datacenter power applications.
  • Experience with RTL architecture, SystemVerilog, Python, MATLAB, C/C++, emulation, FPGA prototyping, behavioral modeling, real-number modeling, or hardware/software co-design.
  • Experience with ADC controller architecture, coherent sampling, digital filtering, decimation, telemetry, protection paths, loop compensation support, or real-time control data paths.
  • Experience creating reusable models, reference tests, or structured engineering data that improve model-to-RTL, model-to-emulation, or model-to-silicon correlation.
  • Ability to work comfortably at the boundary between algorithms, hardware architecture, firmware interface definition, and silicon validation evidence.
  • Renesas is an embedded semiconductor solution provider driven by its Purpose, To Make Our Lives Easier.
  • More information will be provided during the hiring process.

Benefits

  • Partner with verification and validation teams to define reference scenarios, pass/fail criteria, correlation expectations, coverage targets, and structured evidence for architectural decisions.
