Job Description

Key Responsibilities
Define and own the end‑to‑end silicon validation strategy for automotive and HPC SoCs, from pre‑silicon enablement through post‑silicon production release.
Ensure first‑time‑right silicon, robust validation coverage, and zero customer escapes across all assigned programs.
Lead global validation teams responsible for silicon bring‑up, characterization, and system‑level validation across multiple concurrent programs.
Establish and drive a System Use Case Validation Program, harvesting real customer/OEM and system scenarios and converting them into automated, traceable validation suites.
Influence SoC architecture, design, and program decisions through early validation insights, risk identification, and data‑backed recommendations.
Drive shift‑left validation as a measurable engineering program, increasing reuse across simulation, emulation/FPGA, and silicon to reduce late surprises.
Own escape‑prevention strategy, including robustness testing, fault scenarios, coverage models,



and disciplined validation signoff criteria.
Build and scale high‑performing validation organizations, developing solid technical leadership (Staff/Principal pipeline) and execution ownership.
Lead automation, standardization, and infrastructure modernization across validation labs, board farms, and CI systems.
Establish validation methodologies, quality benchmarks, metrics, and dashboards aligned with Renesas standards and automotive expectations.
Identify technical, execution, and program risks early; drive data‑driven mitigation and executive decision‑making.
Provide transparent executive‑level reporting on validation status, risks, readiness, and outcomes.
Act as a trusted partner to Design, DV, Test, Firmware, Software, Product Engineering, Quality, and BU leadership.
Adoption of industry best practices as a measurable program
