Job Description

Company DescriptionOverviewWe are seeking a talented and motivated Software Architect (AI Sub-system) to join our R&D team to own, define, and drive exploration and design of our next generation runtime software involving multi heterogeneous devices in high performance computing (HPC) SoCs.Our division\xe2\x80\x99s mission is to use the latest AI and cloud technologies to develop the best AI inference for advanced driver safety engineers building self-driving vehicles and other high performance compute products. Renesas is the leading automotive electronics supplier globally, and this is a rare opportunity to develop the infrastructure required to deploy our AI software to the billions of devices we ship to customers every year. You will join our newly formed AI & Cloud Engineering organization of around 100 software engineers. Due to strong demand for our AI-related products we are planning to triple in size in the next three years, so there is lots of room for you to help us grow the team together while remaining small. Our team\xe2\x80\x99s key locations are Tokyo, London, Paris, Dusseldorf, Beijing, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, and other metropolitan areas, but you can also join fully remotely from other locations globally or get our support to relocate to our key hubs such as Tokyo.

• Participate and lead in the software architecture design of the runtime software across multi-device and heterogeneity.
• Apply code optimization techniques, ensuring efficient and optimized performance of the runtime software components.
• Deliver architecture specifications to developers and articulate them effectively across stakeholders ranging from toolchain, system and hardware teams, and to technology leadership.
• Collaborate with silicon and platform bring-up to verify and debug the AI sub-system and its delivered performance.

QualificationsQualifications * Bachelor\'s or Master\'s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field; Ph.D. is a plus.

• 10 years of embedded software design and development on SoCs and/or ASICs.
• Great coding skills in C/C++.
