Embedded Systems Firmware Architect

Renesas is seeking an experienced Embedded Systems/Firmware Architect to define firmware architecture control interfaces telemetry systems and diagnostic frameworks for next-generation digital power management products for AI data center and high-performance computing applications.

This role works at the intersection of embedded firmware control systems semiconductor hardware validation and system architecture. The successful candidate will help define scalable firmware frameworks that enable advanced power management monitoring characterization tuning diagnostics and system optimization features across multiple product families.

This is an architecture-focused role that partners closely with firmware development teams. It is ideal for someone who can prototype quickly understand implementation tradeoffs and define clean firmware-facing contracts for complex mixed-signal control systems.

Responsibilities

• Define firmware architecture requirements for digital multiphase power controllers and related power management products.
• Develop system-facing firmware interfaces for telemetry monitoring diagnostics tuning characterization and control-loop support.
• Translate system architecture needs into clean firmware contracts data structures APIs timing expectations and execution flows.
• Collaborate with systems firmware digital design analog design verification validation applications and software/tool teams.
• Support embedded characterization methods such as signal injection frequency-response measurement fixed-point signal processing runtime monitoring and health-oriented diagnostics.
• Create reference implementations or early prototypes when needed to reduce architectural risk and validate implementation feasibility.
• Document firmware architecture specifications interface behavior operating ranges limits timing requirements and validation expectations.
• Help establish reusable firmware patterns across product families while leaving production firmware delivery ownership with the firmware implementation team.

Qualifications :

• 8 years of experience in embedded firmware embedded systems digital power SoC firmware control-oriented firmware or related semiconductor product development.
• Strong C programming experience for resource-constrained embedded systems.
• Experience with microcontrollers embedded peripherals interrupts timers fixed-point math register interfaces and hardware bring-up.
• Ability to translate system-level requirements into firmware APIs data structures execution flows and testable contracts.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills including the ability to document architecture clearly for multiple execution teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with digital power controllers DC/DC converters voltage regulators telemetry diagnostics or firmware-enabled power management products.
• Experience with frequency-response measurement Bode-style characterization embedded auto-tuning or signal-processing techniques.
• Experience with Python automation data analysis firmware test infrastructure or model-based development workflows.
• Familiarity with Verilog SystemVerilog hardware modeling or hardware/software interface definition.
• Experience working across firmware hardware validation software tools applications and systems engineering teams.

Education

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering Computer Science or a related technical discipline.
