About Us:
Innatera is a rapidly growing Dutch semiconductor company that develops ultra-efficient neuromorphic processors for AI at the edge. These microprocessors mimic the brain’s mechanisms for processing fast data streams from sensors, enabling complex turn-key sensor analytics functionalities, with 10,000x higher performance per watt than competing solutions. Innatera's technology serves as a critical enabler for next-generation use cases in the IoT, wearable, embedded, and automotive domains.
To support our rapid development roadmap, we’re looking for a Senior NPU SDK Software Engineer to join our SDK team. In this role, you will be responsible for the Python programming API of our chip, PyTorch customization, and the compiler for end-to-end applications.
We will trust you with:
- Taking care of the full life-cycle of our SDK features in one of the components, including the simulator and compiler, or the API and the infrastructure of our SDK;
- Setting and upholding high standards for code quality, maintainability, testing, and release readiness;
- Conducting code reviews and improving engineering practices and ensuring robust documentation within the expertise domain;
- Working closely with other teams (Digital Design, Firmware, Applications), translating complex algorithm or hardware specifications into efficient, user-friendly, and testable software behavior, and providing technical feedback;
- Providing support to internal teams and customers to enable them to develop applications quickly using our SDK or help solve any issues;
- Contributing to improving power consumption performance, latency, and any performance bottlenecks for our efficient edge-AI solution;
- Keeping innovating, bringing the latest trends of the technology and best practices to keep our product competitive in the market.
