Job Description
Help define the next generation of power delivery solutions for AI and high-performance computing, from architecture exploration and proof of concept through silicon product definition and laboratory validation.
As a Senior Staff Application Engineer in the Renesas Power Computing Business Unit, you will operate at the intersection of power system architecture, converter design and semiconductor product definition. You will explore state-of-the-art and emerging DC/DC converter topologies that address the rapidly increasing power demands of modern AI and compute ASICs. This fast-moving market rewards strong technical judgment, inventive thinking, quick execution and adaptability.
You will work cross-functionally with Systems Engineering, IC Design, Applications, Packaging, Technology and Marketing teams. In this highly visible technical role, you will provide forward-looking expertise across electrical design, magnetics, power electronics, control and digital technologies, while influencing product roadmaps and solution strategy.
You will join an experienced team focused on power converter architecture, implementation and validation. Your contribution will span the complete development path: creating converter proof‑of‑concept platforms, developing detailed simulation models, translating system requirements into new silicon product specifications, and optimizing solutions for power density, reliability, cost, scalability and flexibility.
What You Will Do
- Define and evaluate next-generation power conversion architectures for AI and high-performance computing platforms.
- Lead technology pathfinding, topology studies and proof‑of‑concept development for high-performance DC/DC converters.
- Develop detailed electrical and system‑level models using SIMPLIS and other appropriate simulation environments.
- Translate system‑level and customer requirements into device‑level specifications that support new silicon product definition.
- Plan and execute conve
