Field Applications Engineer Analog & Power

We are seeking a highly motivated Field Applications Engineer (Analog & Power) to support customers in New England and Eastern Canada. This role serves as the technical lead for power and analog solutions, engaging in system-level design activities across key customers.

About the role

• Lead customer power architecture development, including power tree design, device selection, and system optimization.
• Perform technical design reviews, root-cause analysis, and hands-on debug for complex analog and power-related issues.
• Drive new product evaluations and competitive positioning for Renesas power and analog portfolio (PMICs, DC/DC, GaN & MOSFETs, LDOs, battery management, signal chain).
• Execute extensive hands-on lab work, including board bring-up, measurement, validation, and failure analysis.
• Support system-level design integration, ensuring alignment between power, processor, and connectivity subsystems.
• Provide direct technical guidance to customers to accelerate designs from concept to production revenue.
• Deliver field feedback to product divisions, influencing roadmap, feature prioritization, and system solution gaps.
• Develop and present customer trainings, technical seminars, and internal enablement content.

Success in this role requires translating component-level expertise into system-level solutions while building strong, trusted relationships with customers and internal teams.

Requirements

• Must be willing to be located in New England (preferred Boston area).
• BS in Electrical Engineering (MSEE preferred).
• 3+ years of experience in Analog and Power Electronics (customer-facing or design role).

Responsibilities

• Establish strong relationships with sales, FAEs, and distribution, acting as the regional expert for power/analog.
• Partner closely with product marketing and BU teams to drive alignment between field needs and roadmap.
• Lead customers through power design challenges, from architecture through debug and production readiness.
• Provide actionable, system-level feedback to influence new product development.
• Support cross-functional engagements where power is a critical system dependency (MCU/MPU, AI, connectivity platforms).
• Deliver technical presentations, customer training, and design workshops.
• Travel as needed to support key customer engagements (approx. ≤10–20%).

Skills

• Power conversion and management: Buck/boost converters, PMICs, LDOs, power tree sequencing and optimization, battery-powered system design (fuel gauging, charging, protection).
• Analog signal chain: Amplifiers, data converters, sensors, filtering, noise, stability, and signal integrity considerations.
• System-level expertise: Power architecture design, schematic and PCB layout review (power integrity and thermal considerations), bench characterization, validation, and debug of power systems.
• Cross-domain collaboration: Interaction of power with MCUs/MPUs, DDR, high-speed interfaces, and connectivity subsystems.
• Lab proficiency: Oscilloscopes, power analyzers, thermal analysis, transient response measurements.
• Communication: Translate deep technical content into customer-facing solutions and value propositions.
• Self-driven, highly collaborative, and able to own complex technical engagements.

Pay

The expected annual pay range for this position is $90,000 - $120,000, with eligibility for bonus opportunities. Final offer amount depends on geographic location, experience, and skillset.
