You will engage cross-functionally with IC design, firmware engineering, power systems architects, and systems engineering teams to deliver the most innovative power solutions. ### Responsibilities A broad comprehension of DC/DC power conversion is required, including familiarity with digital multiphase PWM controllers. Experience with high-speed digital interfaces is also required. Key responsibilities include: Design multiphase power solutions for CPU/GPU/ASIC-class loads using digital multiphase controllers and Smart Power Stages. Design boards and power systems that interface with pre-silicon emulation of digital PWM controllers and power stages, enabling system-level validation ahead of silicon. Develop EVBs, including schematic capture, component selection, and thermal design. Oversee PCB layout for CPU/GPU-class boards to meet power delivery requirements, including current density, copper allocation, sensing, PDN, and thermal performance. Design and review high-speed digital routing, including differential clock and data pairs with controlled impedance and high-speed single-ended signals, managing crosstalk, reflections, and EMI. Validate power performance in the lab (load transient, efficiency, sequencing, protection, telemetry) and signal quality using oscilloscopes, VNAs, and TDRs. Support pre-silicon new feature bring-up and tapeout validation, working with IC design, firmware engineering, and power systems architects to debug and close issues. ## Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field. 10+ years of relevant experience in power design for CPU/GPU/ASIC-class loads, including multiphase DC/DC converters and digital power management products, with strong emphasis on board-level design and validation. Experience with high-speed differential clock and data interfaces (SerDes-class) and high-speed single-ended routing (such as DDR), including channel modeling, jitter/crosstalk analysis, eye diagrams, and compliance/margining. Strong lab skills with high-bandwidth instruments (scopes, VNAs, TDRs), power validation equipment, measurement-simulation correlation, fixture/probing design, and de-embedding. Demonstrated leadership in cross-functional design reviews, architectural influence, and clear communication of power and SI/PI concepts to diverse audiences ### Preferred Qualifications Hands-on experience with leading SI/PI/EM tools (e.g., Ansys HFSS 3D/Layout, SIwave, Clarity, CST, Keysight ADS Momentum/Sigrity, HSPICE, HyperLynx). Experience designing boards that interface with pre-silicon emulation platforms. Track record of bringing complex high-speed hardware from concept to production, including multiple design spins and volume manufacturing support. Experience with AVSBUS, SVID, SVI3, and PWM VID control bus architectures. Experience with high-speed differential clock and data interfaces such as PCIe, Ethernet, and USB, and high-speed single-ended interfaces such as DDR memory. ### Key Skills and Tools Power Design Digital multiphase VR design, Smart Power Stages, control loop theory, and PDN analysis. ### Design Tools Proficiency in schematic capture and ECAD layout tools (such as Altium, Cadence Allegro, or Mentor Graphics). ### Analysis Software Using simulation tools for electromagnetic and signal and power integrity analysis (such as Keysight PathWave or Ansys HFSS). ### Lab Equipment Hands-on operation of oscilloscopes, TDRs (Time-Domain Reflectometers), logic analyzers, and electronic loads. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Sep 30, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 12, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 19, 2026 - Listed for: 19 days - Location: Austin, TEXAS, United States - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on Renesas Electronics’s careers site →](https://jobs.smartrecruiters.com/RenesasElectronics/744000152769449-senior-staff-applications-engineer) ## More jobs at Renesas Electronics ### [AI Search & SEO Specialist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/29ef541e65bd041720a7/) Austin, TEXAS, United States ### [Application Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/23a820dc0e636d90d082/) Austin, TEXAS, United States ### [Application Technology Architect – Drone & UAV Applications](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/da0dd5ee2d8eb89c7af7/) Austin, TEXAS, United States ### [Electrical Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/2947093f6d23a1dc6ebc/) Austin, TEXAS, United States ### [Principal Engineer, Automated Derivatives](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/renesas-electronics/jobs/8adde7cab0395b53b0bc/) Austin, TEXAS, United States ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Staff System Applications Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/infineon-technologies/jobs/4befc99c3d324ad8d4c3/) Infineon Technologies · Livonia, MI ### [Staff System Applications Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/infineon-technologies/jobs/36f4861ad8d10ccc8ae5/) Infineon Technologies · San Jose, CA ### [Applications Engineer Senior Staff - Level 5](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/2616ded635e46d07cbd3/) Lockheed Martin · Marietta, GA ### [Staff Hardware Applications Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/39b249e7dd4c8964bd51/) Qualcomm · Santa Clara, California, United States of America ### [Staff Software Applications Development Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/qualcomm/jobs/1d8edcab633e2a348e97/) Qualcomm · Santa Clara, California, United States of America OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
