About the role
Lead, coach, and develop a global team of power system architects and engineers responsible for Infrastructure and Server/Datacenter power solutions. The position oversees technical strategy and architectures for complex power electronics systems spanning the 1 to 250 kW range.
What you'll do
- Own the team’s technical strategy and portfolio of power electronics system architectures (1 - 250 kW), aligning with electrical performance, reliability, safety, scalability, cost, and business requirements.
- Translate business, customer, and technology priorities into program roadmaps, staffing plans, budgets, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
- Prioritize and allocate engineering resources across Proof-of-Concept and reference-design programs while managing scope, dependencies, risks, and schedules.
- Provide technical and managerial oversight from architecture and simulation through schematic implementation, system validation, documentation, and customer enablement.
- Influence Renesas product and technology roadmaps by synthesizing market insights, customer needs, portfolio gaps, and system value propositions into product requirements.
- Partner with Chip Design, Applications, Software, Product Marketing, Business Development, Sales, Operations, external vendors, and ecosystem partners.
What you'll need
- MSEE with 12+ years of relevant experience in power-system and power-electronics architecture, design, and development across the 1 - 250 kW range.
- Direct experience managing, developing, and retaining engineers or system architects in a global, matrixed organization.
- Expert knowledge of power-conversion topologies (AC-DC, inverter, isolated DC-DC converters, LDO, buck, boost, and buck-boost), magnetics, control theory, thermal design, protection, and discrete power devices (MOSFET, IGBT, GaN, SiC).
- Deep experience in power-supply architectures for communication infrastructure, datacenters, traditional servers, and AI servers.
- Strong proficiency with power-electronics simulation tools including MATLAB Simulink, SIMetrix/Simplis, and SPICE.
- Practical understanding of schematic design, PCB layout, thermal management, safety, and EMC/EMI mitigation for high-power applications (1 - 250 kW).
Nice to have
- PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field.
- Direct engagement experience with hyperscale customers or platform partners.
- Evidence of broader technical impact, such as patents, publications, standards participation, or conference contributions.
