This role supports advanced power management products for demanding compute, AI, datacenter, and infrastructure applications.\n Renesas is seeking an experienced Staff Digital Mixed-Signal Systems Engineer to develop, model, and verify digitally implemented mixed-signal data paths for next-generation digital power management products used in AI, datacenter, and high-performance computing applications.\nThis role focuses on the digital processing that connects real-world analog measurements to control-loop decisions. Areas of responsibility include ADC interfaces and controllers, front-end filtering, digital signal processing, telemetry paths, emulation models, timing behavior, fixed-point implementation, and hardware and firmware interfaces.\nThe successful candidate will work closely with systems, digital design, firmware, verification, validation, applications, and analog design teams to translate product and feature requirements into executable models, detailed engineering specifications, RTL implementation requirements, and verification evidence.\nThis is a digital systems engineering role for mixed-signal power products. It does not involve transistor-level analog circuit design, but it requires a solid understanding of analog behavior and its interaction with digital control and signal-processing functions.\nWHY THIS ROLE MATTERS\nDevelop the digital processing paths that connect sensed power-rail behavior to control-loop, telemetry, protection, and diagnostic functions.\n\nImprove the modeling, observability, and verification of mixed-signal behavior in advanced digital power products.\n\nHelp engineering teams identify and resolve differences among system requirements, models, digital implementation, and measured behavior.\n\nCreate reusable models, test methods, and specifications that improve engineering execution across product development.\n\nKEY RESPONSIBILITIES\nDevelop digital mixed-signal data paths for digital multiphase power controllers and related power management products.\n\nDesign and evaluate front-end digital signal-processing functions that filter, condition, scale, decimate, observe, and route sensed voltage and current information.\n\nDevelop requirements for ADC interfaces and controllers, including sampling relationships, data-valid timing, channel sequencing, calibration support, latency, saturation, quantization, and error handling.\n\nCreate executable behavioral models and emulation-oriented representations that allow system and feature behavior to be evaluated before RTL and silicon are complete.\n\nTranslate system and control-loop requirements into detailed RTL requirements, fixed-point formats, datapath behavior, register definitions, firmware interfaces, and verification criteria.\n\nAnalyze fixed-point implementation tradeoffs involving numeric range, precision, quantization, rounding, saturation, latency, area, and implementation complexity.\n\nCollaborate with analog design engineers to understand ADC, sensing, reference, timing, noise, and accuracy assumptions that affect digital implementation.\n\nWork with firmware engineers to develop configuration, observability, debug, telemetry, and bring-up capabilities needed for characterization and customer support.\n\nWork with design verification and validation engineers to develop reference scenarios, measurable pass/fail criteria, correlation methods, and test coverage for assigned features.\n\nAnalyze results from behavioral models, RTL simulations, emulation, bench testing, and silicon measurements to identify differences and support issue resolution.\n\nContribute to technical tradeoff decisions involving loop performance, latency, noise sensitivity, resolution, dynamic range, power, area, configurability, and customer-visible behavior.\n\nDocument data-path behavior, interfaces, assumptions, models, limits, corner cases, and verification expectations for cross-functional engineering teams.\n\nParticipate in technical reviews and communicate analysis, results, implementation risks, and recommended solutions.\n\ne contracts, model behavior, limits, corner cases, and validation expectations.\n Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.\n\n5+ years of relevant experience in digital design, mixed-signal systems, digital signal processing, power management, control-oriented digital design, semiconductor verification, or related product development.\n\nStrong understanding of digital signal-processing concepts, fixed-point arithmetic, sampling, filtering, timing, latency, quantization, saturation, and numeric precision.\n\nExperience developing or verifying ADC-facing digital logic, sensor data paths, telemetry paths, digital controllers, or control-loop support functions.\n\nExperience translating system or feature requirements into detailed digital implementation requirements and measurable verification criteria.\n\nExperience with behavioral modeling, data analysis, simulation, or engineering automation using Python, MATLAB, C/C++, SystemVerilog, or similar tools.\n\nAbility to analyze complex behavior across digital and analog boundaries and methodically investigate differences between expected and observed results.\n\nAbility to collaborate effectively with systems, digital design, firmware, analog design, verification, validation, applications, and software teams.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document technical behavior and present engineering results clearly.\n\nPREFERRED\nMaster’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Signal Processing, Control Systems, Power Electronics, or a related discipline.\n\nExperience with digital power controllers, DC/DC converters, voltage regulators, power management ICs, multiphase control, or high-current datacenter power applications.\n\nExperience with RTL development or verification using SystemVerilog or a similar hardware-description language.\n\nExperience with Python, MATLAB, C/C++, emulation, FPGA prototyping, behavioral modeling, real-number modeling, or hardware/software co-development.\n\nExperience with ADC controllers, coherent sampling, digital filtering, decimation, telemetry, protection functions, loop-compensation support, or real-time control data paths.\n\nExperience developing fixed-point models and comparing their behavior with floating-point reference models or RTL implementations.\n\nExperience creating reusable models, automated tests, reference data, or structured results that improve model-to-RTL, model-to-emulation, or model-to-silicon correlation.\n\nFamiliarity with control-loop behavior, including stability, bandwidth, transient response, sampling effects, latency, saturation, and noise.\n\nExperience debugging issues at the boundary among algorithms, RTL implementation, firmware configuration, mixed-signal behavior, and silicon measurements.\n\n Renesas is an embedded semiconductor solution provider driven
