Full Job Description
Job Description

Renesas' Performance Core Power (PCP) Business Group is scaling its Custom AI Power product line - Power Modules, Digital Controllers, and Lateral Power Stages - to serve the compute infrastructure of the world's largest AI platform providers. Both the Business Group and the Custom AI Power product line are growing extremely fast. This organization is structured around dedicated Business Unit (BU) teams for each of the "Big 3" hyperscale/AI accelerator customers: AWS, Google, and NVIDIA.

We are hiring a Business Unit Leader to take full, end-to-end ownership of the business for one of these two currently open seats - AWS or NVIDIA. This is senior leadership role where the BU Leader is the general manager of the business for their customer - accountable for strategy, product roadmap, portfolio decisions, P&L health, while leading a cross-functional team.

What You'll Own

Business & Strategy Leadership
  • Serve as the single point of accountability for the AWS or NVIDIA business within Custom AI Power - strategy, roadmap, revenue/margin outcomes, and execution of the products already designed-in.
  • Build and maintain the multi-generation product roadmap (Modules, Digital Controllers, Lateral Power Stages) in direct alignment with the customer's roadmaps.
  • Portfolio management decisions - what to pursue, what to pass on, and how to sequence investment across competing opportunities.
  • Own the business case and investment justification for new product/program starts, partnering with Finance and the Custom AI Power Leader.
  • Set and defend priorities within centralized organization's (design, operations, packaging, test, etc) resources to meet BU's execution needs

Customer & Executive Engagement
  • Act as the primary business-level relationship owner with the customer's power, silicon, systems and business teams - building trust at the working level and up through their leadership.
  • Represent the voice of the customer internally, and represent Renesas' capabilities and roadmap externally, including at executive business reviews.
  • Lead pricing, forecasting, commercial and manufacturing strategy discussions in partnership with Sales and Finance.

Cross-Functional & Team Leadership
  • Directly lead Product Management, Customer Program Management, and Product Marketing resources dedicated to the BU.
  • Partner closely with Module Design Engineering, Customer AEs, Module Manufacturing, and the Module Execution team to align capacity with roadmap commitments.
  • For the first ~12 months, personally own end-to-end execution of a key product from NPI through volume ramp - working the details alongside the team, not just directing from above. Hands-on involvement across every aspect of execution - design, silicon, test, vendors (inductors, capacitors, substrates), internal and external manufacturing - is a core, ongoing expectation of this role, not a temporary phase to graduate out of.
  • Build organizational capability over time - hiring, developing, and eventually delegating execution ownership as the business scales


Qualifications

  • 10+ years in the power management / power semiconductor industry, with deep technical grounding in power delivery (modules, digital controllers, power stages, or closely related power conversion technologies).
  • Prior experience running a business or product line end-to-end - strategy, roadmap ownership, portfolio decisions, and business/financial management - not solely a product marketing or applications role.
  • Track record engaging directly with large, sophisticated customers (hyperscalers, cloud infrastructure, or AI/compute silicon providers strongly preferred) at both working and executive levels.
  • Experience leading cross-functional teams (product management, program management, marketing, and/or engineering) without necessarily having direct reporting authority over every function involved.
  • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, still-forming business - building process and structure rather than inheriting it.

Skills & Attributes
  • Strong technical fluency in power management to earn credibility with both customer engineering teams and internal design/engineering teams.
  • General-manager mindset: equally comfortable in a roadmap review, a pricing negotiation, and an engineering design review.
  • High degree of self-direction and ownership - willing and able to be hands-on with execution details in year one while building toward broader strategic scope.
  • Excellent executive communication and cross-cultural collaboration skills, given the global, cross-site nature of the design and operations teams (US, Taiwan, China).

Education
  • BS in Electrical Engineering or related field required; MS or MBA a plus.
