About the job

Leads the architecture, development, and productization of Intel’s neuromorphic AI runtime stack for edge and robotic systems.

What you'll do

  • Set the runtime stack’s technical vision, architecture, and roadmap, while contributing hands-on to design and implementation.
  • Develop runtime software and performance tools; define execution behavior and interfaces with firmware, drivers, compilers, and AI and robotics frameworks.
  • Own performance, real-time behavior, and production quality across silicon and simulators; lead and mentor engineers.

What they ask for

  • BSc, MSc, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 5+ years developing and shipping AI runtime software for accelerators, GPUs, or other complex hardware, with working knowledge of drivers and firmware; 5+ years architecting complex software systems; 5+ years owning accelerator software performance and production quality; and 5+ years providing technical leadership.
  • 10+ years of hands-on production-grade systems software development in C/C++, proficiency in Python, and disciplined engineering practices such as code reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD.
  • 1+ years of hands-on experience with agentic software engineering, routinely using AI agents to design, implement, test, and review production code.

Nice to have

  • Experience managing engineering teams, including hiring and developing engineers.
  • Experience with OpenVINO, oneAPI Level Zero, or comparable accelerator software stacks; spatial/dataflow accelerators; robotics or real-time systems; simulators; embedded Linux or RTOS drivers and firmware; or HW/SW co-design or performance modeling.
