Application Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a talented and motivated Application Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will be part of the AI & Cloud Engineering (ACE) Division and AI Workbench team. Our AI Workbench is a cloud-based environment to accelerate Automotive AI Software Development and Evaluation. The AI Workbench has 4 main functional blocks today, with one of those blocks providing access to both SILS (Software in the Loop Simulator) and HILS (Hardware in the Loop Simulator).

As an Application Engineer - ACE, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining web-based applications that meet our organization’s needs and requirements. You should have a strong background in web development, programming languages, and software engineering principles, as well as a passion for creating innovative and user-friendly web applications.

Our division’s 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. We are focusing on our hiring into our Tokyo, Beijing and Singapore sites. If you are successful and living outside of these cities, we can support your relocation to one of the three sites based on team needs.
