Renesas Electronics America is seeking a mid-level PMIC Firmware Verification Engineer to join our Infrastructure Power team in Austin, TX. In this role, you will verify and validate embedded firmware used to control high-performance power management ICs for data center, AI accelerator, networking, and computing platforms.
This role focuses on pre-silicon and post-silicon verification, requiring a solid understanding of power electronics and practical experience with SystemVerilog-based verification. You will work closely with firmware, silicon design, and applications engineers to ensure reliable PMIC operation in real customer environments.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain SystemVerilog testbenches to verify firmware behavior and firmware-hardware interaction.
- Run simulations and debug issues in pre-silicon environments, including RTL simulations and emulation platforms.
- Support post-silicon bring-up, validation, and characterization of PMIC firmware features.
- Assist firmware developers in implementing and debugging control algorithms, sequencing logic, telemetry, and protections.
- Create automated scripts (Python/Perl) to streamline verification regressions and lab bench measurements.
- Use test equipment (oscilloscopes, power supplies, logic analyzers) to validate functionality and debug hardware/firmware issues.
- Document firmware verification flows, test plans, and test results.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve issues found during validation, simulation, or customer evaluation.
