About Renesas India (India for India – IFI)

Renesas continues to significantly expand its presence in India, with headcount approaching 1,000 and strong engagement across government, academia, and the broader semiconductor ecosystem. As India emerges as a strategic semiconductor market and a global talent hub, Renesas’ India for India (IFI) initiative is focused on creating differentiated products that address local market needs, while remaining globally competitive.

This role represents a rare chance to shape future silicon platforms from India—directly influencing product architecture, execution methodologies, and portfolio direction for a fast‑growing, strategically important market. The individual will play a pivotal role in defining end‑to‑end SoC solutions that serve India’s unique applications across automotive, industrial, infrastructure, and emerging domains.

Key Responsibilities

Product & Portfolio Architecture

- Work closely with Business, Product Management, Sales, and Customers to define product portfolio strategy and translate market needs into clear SoC/MCU requirements.
- Architect scalable SoC/MCU platforms, including detailed technical specifications and cost–benefit trade‑offs across architecture options, process nodes, IP reuse, and integration strategies.




- Define–Own–Deliver SoC implementations that meet product KPIs, quality, cost, and schedule targets.
- Ensure end‑to‑end specification compliance across verification, validation, characterization, and production test, with rigorous review of outcomes prior to release.
- Drive paradigm shifts in SoC/MCU execution—covering team structures, tools, design methodologies, and processes—to enable high‑quality, first‑pass silicon.
- Lead IP selection strategies, including make/buy decisions, third‑party IP evaluation, and long‑term platform reuse.
- Collaborate deeply with RTL design, Design Verification, Firmware/Software, Pre‑ and Post‑Silicon Validation, Test, and Program Management teams.
- Enable delivery of first‑pass functional silicon on aggressive and aspirational schedules through architectural rigor and execution discipline.
- Engage with external stakeholders, including IP vendors, EDA partners, foundries, and OSATs.
- Represent Renesas at technical conferences, standards bodies, and ecosystem forums, contributing to thought leadership and technology direction.
- Contribute to training program definition and rollout, mentor senior engineers, and drive systematic lessons‑learned and best‑practice sharing across teams and programs.
