Job Description

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.

Qualifications

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.

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.
