You'll contribute in the architecture and development of the platform software - drivers, middleware, and RTOS — that runs on Renesas devices. ### Responsibilities - Own the software architecture for embedded platform components — define interfaces, layering, and portability strategy across Renesas device families, and make the build-vs-adopt and design trade-off calls - Lead the technical execution of embedded software projects end to end: break down scope, identify risk early, resolve cross-team dependencies, and keep delivery on track against schedule and quality targets - Provide technical leadership across the team — set coding, review, and testing standards - Design, develop, and maintain platform software hands-on, including low-level drivers, middleware, and RTOS integration - Own the quality of delivered software, from architecture and design review through verification and release - Plan and estimate work for yourself and the project team, manage competing priorities across parallel efforts, and report status and risk to project and engineering leadership - Mentor and grow senior and junior engineers through design review, code review, and direct technical coaching - Work closely with hardware, silicon, applications, and product teams, and represent the team's technical position to internal stakeholders and customers ## Qualifications - Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with 10+ years of embedded software development experience in consumer electronics, automotive, medical, or a similar domain - Proven track record architecting embedded software platforms that shipped in volume, including ownership of designs across multiple product generations Expert C programming skills and deep experience designing software for deeply embedded, resource-constrained platforms Deep knowledge of 8/16/32-bit MCU architectures, including ARM Cortex-M, and of the hardware/software boundary: memory maps, interrupt and DMA architecture, clocking, and low-power design - Proficient with CMake and embedded cross-compilation toolchains (GCC, LLVM/Clang, or vendor compilers), and with Docker for reproducible build and test environments - Strong experience with CI/CD and test automation for embedded targets, including hardware-in-the-loop testing Expert across the full software engineering lifecycle, including verification of deliverables against specifications and requirements Fluent debugging with lab equipment and tooling: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers, multimeters, and JTAG/SWD debuggers - Demonstrated ability to lead technical work across a team — driving decisions to closure, aligning stakeholders, and delivering to committed dates - Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical trade-offs to non-specialist and customer audiences Nice to have Multiple RTOS and OS environments — Zephyr, FreeRTOS, embedded Linux — and experience porting or abstracting across them Renesas FSP (Flexible Software Package) or comparable vendor HAL/driver frameworks Hard real-time and safety-critical software design — schedulability, latency and jitter analysis, deterministic behavior under load Security architecture: secure boot, key storage, ARM TrustZone, cryptographic accelerators Connectivity protocols e.g. Bluetooth Low Energy stacks Sustained contributions to open-source projects, ideally as a maintainer or reviewer AI-assisted development experience: coding agents, agentic workflows, MCP ## At a glance -
