Principal Electrical Engineer

About the role

Renesas is seeking Senior Level Analog IC Designers to join our Rad Hard IC design team in RTP, NC or PB, FL. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of designing Analog and mixed-signal ICs in Precision Analog and Power Management applications. As a design team member, you will design innovative, high-performance, highly profitable products targeted toward Space markets, including state-of-the-art ultra-low quiescent current 40V to 100V DC-DC switching converters, LDOs, and multi-function power management circuits.

Responsibilities

• Participate in product definition working with marketing, applications, and customers.
• Apply in-depth understanding of power process technologies to design innovative power management products.
• Perform transistor-level design of mixed-signal circuits for new and derivative power management products.
• Manage programs to achieve schedule objectives.
• Validate and debug products before transferring to production engineering.
• Interface with process, test, product, application, and marketing teams to bring new products from concept through release to production.

Requirements

• Thorough understanding of integrated analog circuit design.
• Thorough understanding of bipolar, BiCMOS, and BCD process technologies and circuit design techniques.
• Thorough understanding of large power transistor (bipolar and DMOS) design, layout, and robustness.
• Thorough understanding of various switch-mode power conversion topologies (BOOST & BUCK, control methods, multi-phase current sharing, etc.).
• Experience with Cadence tools for analog design and mixed-signal simulations.
• Experience with behavioral top-level modeling and mixed-signal verification methodology.
• Experience with analog/digital interfaces and digital buses.
• Experience with Radiation Hardened power management products (highly desirable).
• Experience with gate driver techniques.
• Understanding of control systems.
• Highly self-motivated and adaptable.

Qualifications

MSEE with 10+ years or PhD with 8+ years (or BSEE with 15+ years) of relevant industry experience with a strong background in analog design and a proven record of successfully released Power Management products.
