What are the responsibilities and job description for the Associate Product Engineer position at Renesas Electronics?
Job Description
Product development engineers are critical to Renesas' power management products. They interface directly with the design and test teams to verify the highest reliability, electrical performance, and quality for our current and future generation products. Product engineers also play a critical role in working with the applications team to shape the final device datasheet through device characterization and validation activities.
As a product engineer, you will be involved with the entire NPI (New Production Introduction) process that starts from feasibility, design, reliability, ATE characterization, all the way to manufacturing and full product marketplace release. It is the product engineer’s job to ensure that each device shipped meets Renesas’ high quality standards. At the same time, a product engineer also works consistently to identify areas to improve efficiency, yields, quality and cost.
Responsibilities
Renesas is an embedded semiconductor solution provider driven by its Purpose ‘To Make Our Lives Easier.’ As the industry’s leading expert in embedded processing with unmatched quality and system-level know-how, we have evolved to provide scalable and comprehensive semiconductor solutions for automotive, industrial, infrastructure, and IoT industries based on the broadest product portfolio, including High Performance Computing, Embedded Processing, Analog & Connectivity, and Power.
With a diverse team of over 21,000 professionals in more than 30 countries, we continue to expand our boundaries to offer enhanced user experiences through digitalization and usher into a new era of innovation. We design and develop sustainable, power-efficient solutions today that help people and communities thrive tomorrow, ‘To Make Our Lives Easier.’
