We are looking for a Lead Embedded AI Software Engineer to design and deploy AI‑enabled embedded systems around a multi‑vendor AI chiplet platform. In this role, you will bridge hardware, low‑level AI accelerators, and complex software stacks to enable sustainable, safety‑ and security‑aware AI pipelines in embedded automotive or industrial environments. 

Key responsibilities:

• Define the embedded AI software architecture for multi‑vendor AI chiplet platforms. 
• Drives host‑side Application processing unit (CPU) orchestration and code optimizations. 
• Design and implement efficient hardware‑software interfaces (HSI) between AI chiplets and host systems via UCIe‑based communication, drivers, and access‑management layers. 
• Implement and optimize embedded AI inference pipelines using C++ and OpenVX, targeting performance, latency, and resource constraints. 
• Develop and maintain safety‑ and security‑monitoring components for AI workloads (e.g., health checks, secure execution, anomaly detection). 
• Consults on embedded deployment, including model partitioning, slicing, retraining (or fine‑tuning) strategies, and quantization‑aware deployment. 
• Lead the initial deployment and tuning of AI models on embedded targets, including memory, bandwidth, and power‑aware partitioning. 

• Strong proficiency in C++ and embedded systems programming, with experience in real‑time or safety‑critical environments. 
• Deep expertise in OpenVX, OpenCL, and/or GPU compute frameworks (e.g., Vulkan), especially for computer vision and/or AI pipelines. 
• Solid understanding of AI chiplets, heterogeneous acceleration, and high‑speed interconnects (e.g., UCIe) and host‑side drivers. 
• Familiarity with AI accelerator toolchains and neural network models to AI chiplet mapping. 
• Strong systems‑thinking and cross‑layer design skills (from sensor data acquisition and pre-processing to inference and post-processing). 
• Strong collaboration skills with hardware architects, firmware, safety/security, and algorithm teams. 
• Good written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to document architecture, APIs, and integration guidelines.
