Renesas Electronics Corporation
Sr. Staff System Architect – Robotics Applications (Motion & Architecture)
Renesas Electronics Corporation, New York, New York, us, 10261
About the Role
We are seeking an
experienced System Architect
to lead the definition and development of
next-generation robotic platforms , with a primary focus on
motion systems, motor control strategies, and overall robotic system architecture . In this role, you will
bridge motor drive technology, control algorithms, and system-level integration
to enable robots that are
precise, safe, efficient, and scalable
across industrial, service, and humanoid domains. Key Responsibilities Motion & Motor Control Architect
robotic actuation systems
including motors, drives, encoders, and sensors. Define
motor control strategies
for PMSM, BLDC, induction, and stepper motors to achieve precision, efficiency, and robustness. Develop
control architectures
for torque, velocity, and position control, including multi-axis coordination. Ensure
real-time embedded implementations
(MCUs, DSPs, FPGAs) meet safety and latency requirements. Deliver
reference designs, SRDs, PoCs, and evaluation kits
for robotic motion platforms. System Architecture Define
end-to-end robotic architectures , integrating motion, sensing, compute, and safety. Conduct
system-level modeling and simulation
(mechanical dynamics, thermal, magnetic, electrical). Specify
HW/SW partitioning
and key interfaces across subsystems. Ensure compliance with
functional safety and reliability standards
(ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO 13849). Collaborate with perception/AI teams to ensure balanced integration between
intelligence and actuation layers . Collaboration & Strategy Align with
product lines, silicon teams, and application engineers
to ensure optimized system solutions. Track
industry trends
in robotics (humanoids, cobots, service robots, exoskeletons) to guide product roadmaps. Partner with
universities, startups, and ecosystem players
on innovative motion and control architectures. Qualifications Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, or related field. 8+ years of experience in
robotics, embedded control, or motor drive systems . Proven expertise in:
Motor control algorithms
(FOC, vector control, sensorless control). Embedded real-time systems
for multi-axis motor control (MCUs, DSPs, FPGAs). Actuator and drive system integration
with feedback sensors (encoders, torque, force). System modeling and simulation
(MATLAB/Simulink, PLECS, SPICE, ANSYS). Functional safety standards
(ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO 13849).
Excellent
cross-functional leadership and communication skills . Nice to Have Experience with
battery management systems (BMS), charging architectures, and power conversion
for mobile robots. Familiarity with
predictive maintenance and condition monitoring
using AI/ML. Knowledge of
advanced actuators
(series elastic actuators, soft robotics, exoskeleton joints). Background in
humanoid robotics actuation systems . Renesas Electronics is an equal opportunity and affirmative action employer, committed to supporting diversity and fostering a work environment free of discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, military status, veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.
