Field Applications Engineer Analog & Power - Local To The Boston/New England Area

About the role

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, driving system-level design engagements across key customers with pre- and post-design support activities such as schematic review, component selection, technical resource guidance, and issue resolution to achieve design-in to design-win success.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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%).

Requirements

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

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep expertise in power conversion and management:
  • Buck/boost converters, PMICs, LDOs
  • Power tree sequencing and optimization
  • Battery-powered system design (fuel gauging, charging, protection)
• Strong understanding of analog signal chain:
  • Amplifiers, data converters, sensors, filtering
  • Noise, stability, and signal integrity considerations
• Proven experience in:
  • System-level power architecture design
  • Schematic and PCB layout review, especially for power integrity and thermal considerations
  • Bench characterization, validation, and debug of power systems
• Ability to work across domains:
  • Interaction of power with MCUs/MPUs, DDR, high-speed interfaces, and connectivity subsystems
• Hands-on lab proficiency:
  • Oscilloscopes, power analyzers, thermal analysis, transient response measurements
• Strong communication skills: capable of translating deep technical content into customer-facing solutions and value propositions.
• Self-driven, highly collaborative, able to own complex technical engagements.
