About Renesas India (India for India – IFI)

Renesas continues to significantly expand its presence in India, with headcount approaching 1,000 and strong engagement across government, academia, and the broader semiconductor ecosystem. As India emerges as a strategic semiconductor market and a global talent hub, Renesas’ India for India (IFI) initiative is focused on creating differentiated products that address local market needs, while remaining globally competitive.

This role represents a rare opportunity to shape future silicon platforms from India—directly influencing product architecture, execution methodologies, and portfolio direction for a fast‑growing, strategically important market. The individual will play a pivotal role in defining end‑to‑end SoC solutions that serve India’s unique applications across automotive, industrial, infrastructure, and emerging domains.

Key Responsibilities

Product & Portfolio Architecture

• Work closely with Business, Product Management, Sales, and Customers to define product portfolio strategy and translate market needs into clear SoC/MCU requirements.
• Architect scalable SoC/MCU platforms, including detailed technical specifications and cost–benefit trade‑offs across architecture options, process nodes, IP reuse, and integration strategies.
• Define–Own–Deliver SoC implementations that meet product KPIs, quality, cost, and schedule targets.
• Ensure end‑to‑end specification compliance across verification, validation, characterization, and production test, with rigorous review of outcomes prior to release.
• Drive paradigm shifts in SoC/MCU execution—covering team structures, tools, design methodologies, and processes—to enable high‑quality, first‑pass silicon.
• Lead IP selection strategies, including make/buy decisions, third‑party IP evaluation, and long‑term platform reuse.
• Collaborate deeply with RTL design, Design Verification, Firmware/Software, Pre‑ and Post‑Silicon Validation, Test, and Program Management teams.
• Enable delivery of first‑pass functional silicon on aggressive and aspirational schedules through architectural rigor and execution discipline.
• Engage with external stakeholders, including IP vendors, EDA partners, foundries, and OSATs.
• Represent Renesas at technical conferences, standards bodies, and ecosystem forums, contributing to thought leadership and technology direction.
• Contribute to training program definition and rollout, mentor senior engineers, and drive systematic lessons‑learned and best‑practice sharing across teams and programs.

Qualifications & Experience

• Strong can‑do attitude, adaptability, and openness to diverse people, cultures, and working environments.
• Educational background in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
• Hands‑on experience across key portions of the SoC development lifecycle, including:
  • Front‑end architecture and RTL design
  • Verification
  • RTL‑to‑GDSII flow
  • Embedded software and system‑level integration
• Broad technical exposure across multiple domains such as Automotive, Multimedia, Networking, Compute, Computer Vision, and Software‑defined systems.
• Proven ability to influence and coordinate across highly experienced, globally distributed cross‑functional teams.
• Excellent communication, problem‑solving, and technical leadership skills with a strong focus on quality and execution.
• M.Tech / B.Tech in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science with 12+ years of experience in SoC/MCU architecture and RTL design, including leadership across the full NPI lifecycle.
