Senior Staff Digital Engineer

Renesas is seeking an experienced Senior Staff Digital Engineer to lead verification and evidence 
development for control-loop features and functions in advanced digital power management products 
used in AI datacenter and high-performance computing applications.
This role focuses on proving that specific control-loop features behave as intended across requirements 
behavioral models digital implementation analog interactions simulation emulation bench validation 
and silicon.
The successful candidate will translate feature intent into measurable test plans define clear pass/fail 
criteria develop reusable verification methods and correlate results across engineering environments. 
The role requires a strong understanding of digital control loops mixed-signal behavior power-system 
dynamics data analysis and verification automation.
The ideal candidate combines hands-on control-loop expertise with disciplined verification and the 
ability to identify and resolve differences between expected behavior implementation results and 
measured performance.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
Build clear repeatable evidence that control-loop features and functions operate as intended.
Improve confidence in feature and architecture decisions by connecting requirements models 
implementation tests and measured results.
Identify feature-level gaps and unexpected interactions before they become product or customer issues.
Create reusable verification methods that improve engineering quality and reduce repeated manual 
testing.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Lead verification and evidence development for digital control-loop features and functions.
Translate feature requirements and system intent into measurable verification plans test scenarios and 
pass/fail criteria.

cases.
Develop tests covering compensation stability bandwidth transient response latency sampling 
quantization saturation limits mode transitions sensing behavior telemetry and feature interactions.
Correlate feature behavior across behavioral models RTL analog/mixed-signal simulation emulation 
bench validation and silicon measurements where applicable.
Evaluate interactions between digital loop functions and analog components including sensing paths 
ADCs DACs references PWM generation timing paths and power stages.
Produce clear verification evidence containing test conditions configurations metrics plots waveforms 
results conclusions and identified risks.
Develop reusable automation for parameter sweeps corner testing waveform analysis regression 
testing and evidence generation.
Investigate discrepancies between expected feature behavior and results from simulation emulation 
bench testing or silicon.
Collaborate with systems analog design digital design firmware design verification validation 
applications and software/tool teams.
Identify missing requirements test coverage observability or infrastructure needed to verify loop 
features effectively.
Document test intent assumptions configurations results limitations and residual risks clearly for 
technical and leadership audiences.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers working on control-loop verification and 
validation.
