Sr Staff Application Engineer

Role Overview

The Peripheral & Variant Lead is the technical leader for peripheral blocksets and device variant scaling within Renesas Hardware Support Packages. This role delivers high‑quality Simulink peripheral blocks (e.g., ADC, PWM, UART, CAN) using the foundation layer, and drives scalable enablement across MCU variants through automation, validation, and standardized architecture. The role ensures alignment with core dependencies and works closely with the foundation team to deliver production‑ready solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead development of peripheral blocksets (ADC, PWM, UART, CAN, etc.) leveraging foundation components and established integration patterns.
• Drive device variant augmentation, defining validation strategies and automation frameworks to scale across Renesas MCU families
• Define block architecture, coding standards, and integration patterns to ensure consistency, reusability, and long‑term maintainability.
• Review IO Builder / System Object implementations and optimize for performance, usability, and customer experience.
• Collaborate closely with the MW foundation team to maintain alignment with core dependencies and release compatibility.

• B. Tech/M. Tech in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or related field with 10+ years of experience in embedded systems with strong experience in peripheral driver development.
• Demonstrated experience building support packages / peripheral enablement frameworks at a semiconductor supplier or tools ecosystem team.
• Strong experience with MATLAB/Simulink and MBD concepts, including reusable modeling patterns and integration with code generation.
• Proven ability to design scalable architectures for device variant support, automation, and validation/regression testing.
• Senior Staff‑level technical leadership: architecture ownership, rigorous reviews, mentoring, and cross‑team influence.

Added Advantage

• Experience creating custom blockset packages / peripheral libraries / MCAL / CDD for semiconductor solutions.
• Familiarity with IO Builder/System Object patterns and performance tuning in model‑based workflows.
