Renesas's CMSD (Configurable Mixed Signal Division) is seeking a highly experienced product definer with expertise in high performance analog & data converter applications. CMSD develops highly configurable mixed-signal products (GreenPAKTM , GreenFETTM, PowerGreenPAKTM, and ForgeFPGATM families) for a wide range of applications such as consumer, industrial, computing, and automotive applications.

A successful candidate will have in-depth system-level understanding and knowledge about semiconductor, hardware, and software development for high performance analog and mixed-signal systems in consumer, industrial, and automotive applications.

Responsibilities:
  • Listen, fully understand, and anticipate the needs of our current and prospective customers.
  • Work with marketing team to define product roadmap and ensure that we have a plan for sustainable differentiation in the product category.
  • Work with design to conduct feasibility studies for high performance amplifiers, ADC, and DAC IP developments.
  • Identify new product ideas and convert them into objective specifications that can solve customer problems creatively (avoid non-competitive 'me-too' approaches).
  • Work closely with design, apps, marketing, sales/FAE and even customers throughout the product development process to ensure product development and customer's engagement remains on track.
  • Own objective specifications and author preliminary & production datasheets.


Qualifications
  • Education: BSEE/MSEE degree or advanced degree plus minimum 15 years of experience in high performance analog applications with consistent track record of results.
