Job description

Seeking an experienced Product Engineer (PE) to own the technical readiness, manufacturability, and lifecycle performance of advanced power modules from New Product Introduction (NPI) through high-volume production and sustaining. This role is accountable for end-to-end product execution across design, test, quality, assembly, and manufacturing to deliver performance, quality, cost, and schedule targets at scale.

Renesas Electronics, a leading global semiconductor company, is rapidly scaling its AI-focused power delivery business. Products include high-performance digital power VRMs, multiphase controllers, Smart Power Stages (SPS), Vertical Power Stages (SPS with integrated capacitors and multiple silicon die), Power Towers (power modules integrating multiple SPS-equivalents with capacitors and inductors), and power MOSFETs.

Key Responsibilities

• Own product engineering execution for advanced power modules from NPI through high-volume production and sustaining
• Own the manufacturability of advanced power modules, driving robust assembly processes across OSAT and internal manufacturing sites
• Establish and enforce assembly workmanship standards, ensuring compliance with IPC-A-610 (Acceptability of Electronic Assemblies)
• Drive cross-functional alignment across Design, Test, Quality, and Manufacturing to enable scalable, high-yield module production
• Lead resolution of assembly-related excursions, including die attach, clip attach, solder integrity, and module-level defects
• Lead product bring-up, characterization, and silicon readiness in partnership with Design, Test, and Applications teams
• Define and maintain product specifications, limits, and guard-bands based on silicon behavior and manufacturing capability
• Lead yield analysis, parametric trend monitoring, and root-cause investigations
• Drive cost, yield, and cycle-time improvement through data-driven analysis
• Own manufacturing release, qualification execution, and product change management (PCNs)
• Serve as the technical escalation owner for production issues, customer returns, and corrective actions
• Support critical customer engagements on product, quality, and manufacturing topics as needed
• 10% travel

Education

• Bachelor’s degree required in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field; master’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline preferred. Mechanical Engineering degree preferred, particularly for roles involving module packaging, thermomechanical behavior, and assembly optimization.

Experience & Skills

• 10+ years of experience in semiconductor product engineering, manufacturing engineering, or test engineering, with demonstrated ownership from NPI through high-volume production
• Strong technical depth in semiconductor power products and advanced power module manufacturing
• Strong data analysis skills with the ability to interpret statistical results and drive decisions
• Working knowledge of new product development, qualification, and high-volume manufacturing transfer
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with customers and cross-functional teams
• Proven ability to lead complex technical decisions, escalations, and execution across organizations
