Sr. Manager, Power System Architecture – Infrastructure & Datacenter (高级经理-电源系统团队- 基础设施与数据中心）

Lead a global team of power system architects and engineers for Infrastructure and Server/Datacenter power solutions, owning the technical strategy and portfolio of complex power electronics system architectures (1 - 250 kW), and driving execution from architecture through validation and customer enablement. Renesas is an embedded semiconductor solution provider; candidates are asked to submit both Chinese and English resumes.

Responsibilities

Lead, coach, and develop a global team of power system architects and engineers responsible for Infrastructure and Server/Datacenter power solutions; Set clear objectives, define roles and development plans, conduct performance and career discussions, and address performance gaps; Own the team's technical strategy and portfolio of complex power electronics system architectures (1 - 250 kW); Translate business, customer, and technology priorities into executable annual and multi-year plans, including roadmaps, staffing, budgets, and milestones; Prioritize and allocate engineering resources across Proof-of-Concept and reference-design programs; Create an inclusive, accountable, and collaborative team culture; Recruit, onboard, retain, and succession-plan critical talent; Establish architecture principles, design methodologies, review practices, documentation standards, and reusable platform strategies; Ensure robust system-level trade-off analysis (efficiency, power density, cost, reliability, manufacturability, serviceability, availability, regulatory compliance); Provide technical and managerial oversight from architecture and simulation through schematic implementation, validation, documentation, and customer enablement; Serve as the management escalation point for critical architectural, integration, execution, resource, and customer issues; Influence Renesas product and technology roadmaps; Build partnerships with Chip Design, Applications, Software, Product Marketing, Business Development, Sales, Operations, vendors, customers, and ecosystem partners; Represent the team in leadership and customer reviews and ensure commitments and follow-up actions are documented and completed

Requirements

MSEE required; PhD preferred; 12+ years of relevant experience in power-system and power-electronics architecture, design, and development across the 1 - 250 kW range; Proven experience directly managing, developing, and retaining engineers or system architects in a global, matrixed organization; Demonstrated success building high-performing technical teams and delivering multiple complex power-electronics platforms from concept through prototype validation, productization, and customer adoption; Strong organizational leadership and portfolio-management skills, including prioritizing programs, allocating resources, managing budgets and schedules; Recognized expertise in electrical engineering fundamentals, system architecture, and structured problem solving; Expert knowledge of power-conversion topologies (AC-DC, inverter, isolated DC-DC, LDO, buck, boost, buck-boost), magnetics, control theory, thermal design, protection, and discrete power devices (MOSFET, IGBT, GaN, SiC); Strong understanding of power-electronics and system simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB Simulink, SIMetrix/Simplis, SPICE); Demonstrated ability to lead feasibility and trade-off studies (electrical performance, reliability, power density, BOM, manufacturing complexity, total solution cost); Exceptional communication, executive presentation, stakeholder-management, and influencing skills; Deep experience in power-supply architectures for communication infrastructure, datacenters, traditional servers, and AI servers; Hands-on understanding of schematic design, PCB layout, thermal management, safety, and EMC/EMI mitigation for high-power applications; Substantial experience with wide-bandgap devices (GaN and SiC); Demonstrated commitment to inclusive leadership, ethical decision-making, and cross-cultural collaboration

Nice to have

PhD; Patents, publications, standards participation, conference contributions, architecture methodologies, or reusable platform innovations; Direct engagement with hyperscale customers or platform partners
