Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated Field Applications Engineer (Analog & Power) to join our team in the Boston area and support customers in New England and Eastern Canada. This role will serve as the technical lead for power and analog solutions, supporting system-level design engagements across key customers, including pre- and post-design support activities such as schematic review, component selection, technical resource guidance, and issue resolution to help drive design-in to design-win success.

The FAE will:

• Lead customer power architecture development, including power tree design, device selection, and system optimization.
• Perform technical design reviews, root-cause analysis, and hands-on debug for complex analog and power-related issues.
• Drive new product evaluations and competitive positioning for Renesas power and analog portfolio (PMICs, DC/DC, GaN & MOSFETs, LDOs, battery management, signal chain).
• Execute extensive hands-on lab work, including board bring-up, measurement, validation, and failure analysis.
• Support system-level design integration, ensuring alignment between power, processor, and connectivity subsystems.
• Provide direct technical guidance to customers to accelerate designs from concept to production revenue.
• Deliver field feedback to product divisions, influencing roadmap, feature prioritization, and system solution gaps.
• Develop and present customer trainings, technical seminars, and internal enablement content.

Success in this role requires the ability to translate component-level expertise into system-level solutions, while building strong, trusted relationships with customers and internal teams.

Qualifications

• REMOTE - MUST BE WILLING TO BE LOCATED IN NEW ENGLAND - PREFERRED BOSTON AREA

• Establish strong relationships with sales, FAEs, and distribution, acting as the regional expert for power/analog.
• Partner closely with product marketing and BU teams to drive alignment between field needs and roadmap.
• Lead customers through power design challenges, from architecture through debug and production readiness.
• Provide actionable, system-level feedback to influence new product development.
• Support cross-functional engagements where power is a critical system dependency (MCU/MPU, AI, connectivity platforms).
• Deliver technical presentations, customer training, and design workshops.
• Travel as needed to support key customer engagements (approx. ≤10-20%).

Preferred Qualifications

• Deep expertise in power conversion and management:
  • Buck/boost converters, PMICs, LDOs
  • Power tree sequencing and optimization
  • Battery-powered system design (fuel gauging, charging, protection)
• Strong understanding of analog signal chain:
  • Amplifiers, data converters, sensors, filtering, Noise, stability, and signal integrity considerations
• Proven experience in:
  • System-level power architecture design, Schematic and PCB layout review, especially for power integrity and thermal considerations, Bench characterization, validation, and debug of power systems
