Role Overview: 

The Peripheral & Variant Lead is the technical leader responsible for peripheral blockset development and scalable device-variant enablement within Renesas Hardware Support Packages (HSPs). This role delivers production-quality Simulink peripheral blocks (e.g., ADC, PWM, UART, CAN) built on the foundation layer and drives consistent, automated enablement across MCU variants through well-defined architecture, validation strategies, and standardized integration patterns. 

The role ensures tight alignment with core platform dependencies and works closely with the foundation team to deliver maintainable, customer-ready solutions. Candidates are expected to have strong MATLAB/Simulink Model-Based Design and Embedded Coder experience. Prior MATLAB HSP or custom blockset development experience is preferred but not mandatory. Candidates with advanced MATLAB/Simulink and embedded code-generation experience will receive a structured 1–2 month ramp-up on MATLAB HSP architecture, target library development, and peripheral block implementation.

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Lead the development of peripheral blocksets (ADC, PWM, UART, CAN, etc.) leveraging foundation components and established integration patterns. 
  • Drive scalable device-variant enablement by defining validation strategies and automation frameworks that efficiently support multiple Renesas MCU families. 
  • Define block architecture, coding standards, and integration patterns to ensure consistency, reusability, performance, and long-term maintainability. 
  • Review and optimize IO Builder / MATLAB System Object implementations for performance, usability, and customer experience. 
  • Collaborate closely with the foundation team to maintain alignment with core dependencies and release compatibility. 
  • Develop deep expertise in MATLAB HSP architecture, target library development, peripheral block implementation, and associated target-enablement workflows. 

Qualifications:

• B.Tech / M.Tech in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or related field with 10+ years of experience in embedded systems and strong experience in peripheral driver development. 
  • Strong hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink and Model-Based Design for production embedded software development. 
  • Strong experience with Embedded Coder and code-generation workflows, including configuration, generation, integration, build, and deployment of generated C/C++ code on embedded targets. 
  • Experience integrating MATLAB/Simulink-generated code with existing embedded software, legacy C/C++ code, BSP/SDK, MCAL, AUTOSAR stacks, or equivalent production embedded software architectures. 
  • Experience developing application models and troubleshooting issues across the model, generated code, embedded software, and target hardware boundaries. 
  • Proven ability to design scalable architectures for multi-variant device support, automation, and validation/regression testing. 
  • Senior Staff-level technical leadership demonstrated through architecture ownership, rigorous technical reviews, mentoring, and cross-team influence. 
  • Prior experience developing MATLAB Hardware Support Packages, target libraries, custom Simulink blocksets, or equivalent target-enablement frameworks is preferred, but not mandatory.

Added Advantage: 

• Experience creating custom blockset packages, peripheral libraries, MCAL, or CDD for semiconductor solutions. 
• Familiarity with IO Builder / System Object patterns and performance tuning in model-based workflows. 
• Experience with MATLAB HSP development, Simulink custom blocks, MATLAB System Objects, target registration/configuration, or embedded target support. 
•  Experience with AUTOSAR Blockset, Embedded Coder, SIL/PIL, model/code verification, or production AUTOSAR code-generation workflows. 
• Experience with Renesas MCU peripherals, FSP/MCAL, BSP/SDK integration, or equivalent semiconductor MCU ecosystems.
