Senior Engineer (Full Stack Infrastructure & Embedded Systems)

We are looking for a Full Stack & Embedded Systems Engineer who can design, develop, and scale a medium-sized distributed microservices-based system involving web applications, backend services, databases, CI/CD pipelines, and embedded device clients, with hands-on exposure to full stack systems. 

The role spans frontend (JavaScript), backend (Node.js), PostgreSQL databases, and embedded C-based device-side software, with strong ownership of automation, board farms, and system scalability. You will work closely with SoC BSP, platform, and validation teams while building infrastructure used for R-Car Platform, CICD, validation, and customer enablement. 

Relevant working experience

• Design, develop, and scale a distributed system to manage Renesas R‑Car platform, backend services, and lab infrastructure.
• Own end‑to‑end system architecture spanning frontend (JavaScript), backend (Node.js), database (PostgreSQL), CI/CD pipelines, and embedded device clients.
• Architect and implement scalable backend services for board orchestration, job scheduling, workflow/validation execution, logging, artifact management, and result aggregation.
• Develop web-based user interfaces using modern JavaScript frameworks (React/Vue or equivalent) to visualize board state, power/reset control, boot stages, test execution, logs, metrics, and historical trends.
• Design and maintain PostgreSQL data models to track boards, R-Car SoC variants, firmware versions, BSP releases, boot configurations, test results, logs, and system metadata, with a focus on performance and scalability.
• Develop embedded or Linux-based device agents in C running R-Car Platform to enable reliable communication with backend services.
• Understands/Implement device-side capabilities including firmware flashing (IPL, U‑Boot, kernel, DTB, rootfs), boot and recovery validation, test execution, result reporting, and health monitoring.
• Enable scalable validation workflows for Linux/Yocto, QNX, Android, and RTOS-based R-Car Platform.
• Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines integrating BSP builds, automated flashing, provisioning, and test execution on real hardware.
• Integrate distributed services with board farms and lab infrastructure, supporting unattended and parallel execution across multiple R‑Car platforms.
• Debug and resolve full-stack issues spanning frontend, backend, database, network, CI/CD, and R‑Car hardware.
• Analyze boot failures (BootROM → IPL → U‑Boot → OS), flaky board behavior, and infrastructure bottlenecks.
• Continuously improve system scalability, reliability, observability, monitoring, logging, and alerting as platform usage grows.

Education and Background

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electronics or Computer Science
• 4+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating backend services, CI/CD pipelines, and full-stack infrastructure that integrates with embedded platforms based on Linux, QNX, Android, Zephyr, or FreeRTOS.

Expected role in Renesas

• Own and evolve a scalable full‑stack and infrastructure platform supporting Renesas R-Car Platform.
• Build and operate backend microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and board‑farm infrastructure for efficient platform enablement.
• Collaborate with BSP, platform, and validation teams to integrate real hardware labs with modern distributed systems.
• Drive improvements in automation, scalability, reliability, and observability as platform usage and programs scale.

Relevant Experiences (Combination of good-to-have and must-have):

• Overall:
  • Ability to work independently with strong motivation towards meeting deadlines with efficiency and focus
• Architecture
  • System architecture experience for heterogeneous computing platforms.
• Development
  • Ability to design, develop, and integrate end‑to‑end full‑stack systems, spanning frontend, backend microservices, databases, CI/CD pipelines, and embedded device interfaces.
• Debug:
  • Ability to debug complex full‑stack and distributed systems, including frontend issues, backend microservices, databases, CI/CD flows, and interactions with embedded hardware and lab infrastructure.
• Collaboration:
  • Ability to collaborate with sales, marketing, architecture, customer, partners, and other groups to create best in class reference solutions, solve problems, and enable customer success
  • Ability to expand upon existing solutions in collaboration with architects and prior design teams
  • Ability to work independently as well as in small teams
• Communication:
  • Excellent written and verbal communication due to frequent customer and internal communications; ability to provide direct, efficient, and clear customer communications under pressure
  • Familiarity with global business cultures (Japan, Europe, US, India) and strong cross-cultural sensitivity
  • Familiarity with verbal and written Japanese (nice to have)
• Travel:
  • Flexibility to manage occasional international travel on short notice to support customer success or internal initiatives
