High-Speed I/F Subsystem Design Leader

About the role

Renesas Electronics is looking for a technical leader to define the design direction and architecture of the High-Speed I/F subsystem for automotive SoCs (the R-Car series). The role covers PCIe, UCIe, USB and UFS, and involves coordinating with design teams in India and Vietnam and with IP vendors in a global, English-speaking environment.

Key responsibilities

• Take part in specification definition and architectural study of the High-Speed I/F subsystem for automotive SoCs.
• Own a primary technical area and organize design directions from a subsystem-level optimization perspective.
• During logic design and verification, identify and structure technical issues, contribute to design decisions and help drive development forward.
• Consider power, performance and reliability constraints and make technical judgments aligned with overall SoC requirements.
• Communicate with IP vendors to confirm specifications, clarify constraints and assumptions and support issue resolution.
• Collaborate with design teams in India and Vietnam and with IP vendors, working in English.

Required profile

• Hands-on experience in at least one of PCIe, UCIe, USB or UFS, including specification study, design, verification or performance evaluation.
• Ability to organize design directions and key discussion points and share them with stakeholders.
• Understanding of the logic design and verification flow and experience in technical reviews and discussions.
• Communication skills and willingness to communicate in English for technical meetings and specification reviews.

Preferred qualifications

• Technical lead experience at subsystem or IP level (design reviews, guiding technical discussions).
• SoC integration experience with PCIe, UCIe, USB and UFS components.
• Knowledge of power domain separation and physical implementation (P&R).
• Automotive SoC experience with functional safety or reliability considerations.
• Experience coordinating with overseas sites and third-party IP vendors.
• Conversational Japanese.
