Principal Power System Architect - Infrastructure & Datacenter

Job Description

请求职者投递中文与英文简历

• Own and define complex power electronics system architectures (1 - 250 kW) that meet electrical performance, reliability, safety, scalability, and cost requirements for Infrastructure and Server/Datacenter applications.
• Establish the long-term technical vision, architecture principles, and reusable platform strategy for next-generation power delivery solutions.
• Lead system-level trade-off studies and drive data-based architectural decisions regarding power density, efficiency, cost, reliability, manufacturability, and time to market.
• Develop and approve system specifications, design methodologies, and technical requirements, ensuring compliance with applicable standards and regulatory requirements.
• Influence Renesas product and technology roadmaps by identifying portfolio gaps, defining differentiated system value propositions, and translating customer and market needs into product requirements.
• Break down large and complex power electronic systems into modular, scalable, and reusable subsystems that meet the efficiency, power density, serviceability, and availability requirements of modern communications and datacenter infrastructure.
• Guide modelling and simulation of complex power electronics systems in MATLAB Simulink and other appropriate system and circuit simulation environments.
• Provide technical leadership for multiple Proof-of-Concept and reference-design programs, from architecture and schematic implementation through system validation, documentation, and customer enablement.
• Serve as a recognized technical authority and escalation point for critical architectural, integration, and customer issues.
• Lead cross-functional technical reviews, manage architectural risks and dependencies, and align global engineering resources, program priorities, timelines, and budgets.
• Monitor market, standards, and technology trends and shape both solution and IC roadmaps for Datacenter and Infrastructure power systems, including voltage regulators, power-supply controllers, gate drivers, and discrete power switches.
• Build strategic relationships with key customers, ecosystem partners, external vendors, and industry bodies to accelerate solution adoption and strengthen Renesas technical leadership.
• Mentor senior engineers and architects, raise engineering standards, and foster systematic knowledge sharing across hardware, software, systems, applications, marketing, sales, and business-development teams.

Qualifications

• MSEE is required; PhD is preferred, with 12+ years of relevant experience in power-system and power-electronics architecture, design, and development across the 1 - 250 kW range.
• Sustained record of technical leadership and successful delivery of multiple complex power-electronics platforms from concept and architecture through physical prototype validation, productization, and customer adoption.
• Recognized expertise in electrical engineering fundamentals, system architecture, and structured problem solving, with the judgment to make high-impact decisions under technical and business constraints.
• Demonstrated ability to lead feasibility and trade-off studies comparing electrical performance, reliability, power density, Bill of Materials (BOM), manufacturing complexity, and total solution cost.
• Expert knowledge of power-conversion topologies (AC-DC, inverter, isolated DC-DC converters, LDO, and switch-mode topologies such as buck, boost, and buck-boost), magnetics, control theory, thermal design, protection, and discrete power devices (MOSFET, IGBT, GaN, SiC).
• Advanced proficiency with power-electronics and system simulation tools (e.g. MATLAB Simulink, SIMetrix/Simplis, SPICE, etc.) and the ability to establish modelling practices used by broader engineering teams.
• Exceptional communication, executive presentation, and influencing skills, with demonstrated success aligning customers and worldwide cross-functional groups including FAEs, Sales, Power IC design teams, Hardware and Software engineers, Product Marketing Managers, and Business Development.
• Deep experience in power-supply architectures for communication infrastructure, datacenters, traditional servers, and AI servers; direct engagement with hyperscale customers or platform partners is strongly preferred.
• Hands-on understanding of schematic design, PCB layout, thermal management, safety, and EMC/EMI mitigation for high-power applications (1 - 250 kW), sufficient to guide reviews and resolve critical implementation issues.
• Substantial experience designing power-electronics systems using wide-bandgap devices, including GaN and SiC, and evaluating their system-level value and implementation trade-offs.
• Evidence of broader technical impact—such as patents, publications, standards participation, conference contributions, architecture methodologies, or reusable platform innovations—is preferred.
• Demonstrated mentorship of senior technical staff and ability to lead through influence across organizational and geographic boundaries.
