Staff Engineer Agentic Product Developer

Location: Austin, TX, us

Job Description

Renesas Electronics is on the hunt for a trailblazing Agentic Product Developer to supercharge our System-on-Chip (SoC) AI team. If you thrive in a fast-moving, startup-style environment where every day brings new challenges, trends, and opportunities, this role is for you. We're building AI-first products that redefine autonomy and adaptability; our systems are designed to learn, evolve, and make decisions independently. We're looking for someone who’s passionate, self-motivated, and hungry to push boundaries—someone who’s obsessed with staying ahead of the curve and rapidly adapting to the latest in AI and embedded tech. If you have a proven track record in AI, embedded systems, and product innovation, and you love turning groundbreaking ideas into impactful products, join us to shape the future of intelligent devices. 

Responsibilities: 

• Own the full lifecycle of AI-first agentic systems, from rapid ideation and requirements gathering through architecture, implementation, hands-on testing, and launch—using AI for all stages unless a human touch is essential. 

• Work side-by-side with hardware, software, and product teams to embed AI capabilities that drive agentic behavior—autonomy, continuous learning, and real-time adaptability—directly onto smart devices, with human input only when necessary. 

• Constantly scout, experiment with, and deploy the latest AI models and algorithms -like reinforcement learning and multi-agent systems, adopting new tech every day rather than waiting for monthly cycles. 

• Push the limits by tuning AI solutions for top-tier performance, ultra-efficient power usage, and bulletproof reliability on Renesas SoC platforms, leveraging AI-driven optimization wherever possible. 

Qualifications

• Education: Degree in CS, EE, Math, Stats, or Physics. 
• Showcase your hands-on artifacts in AI product development—with real-world agentic projects or a public GitHub bursting with innovation. 
• Bring deep mastery in agentic AI systems, from building autonomous agents and crafting reinforcement learning solutions to deploying adaptive algorithms and cutting-edge tech like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), persistent memory operating systems, and collaborative multi-agent architectures. 
• Be fluent in Python and C/C++, and have strong street cred using top-tier AI frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch. 
• Crush complex problems, communicate like a pro, and inspire teams with your leadership mojo. 
• Preferred Qualifications 
• Deep chops in hardware/software co-design—think seamlessly fusing code and circuits for next-level products. 
• Hands-on experience building and turbocharging embedded software for devices where every byte and milliwatt counts. 
• A proven track record shipping game-changing AI and embedded products that actually make it to market.
