Job Description
**About the AI Division**
The AI Division is a unique and dedicated group within Ceva, driving innovation in Machine Learning and Generative AI architectures for edge devices and cloud inference. Our R&D domains span Neural Network Processors (NPU), Vision DSPs, and advanced AI algorithms for applications across smartphones, tablets, automotive, surveillance cameras and many more edge AI systems.
We combine cutting-edge hardware IP design with embedded software and system-level solutions, enabling the next generation of intelligent and energy-efficient devices.
**About the Role:**
In this role, you will be a key contributor to the design and implementation of Ceva’s AI Graph Compiler software stack for Neural Processing Units (NPUs). You will take part in defining software architecture, implementing performance-critical components, and enabling efficient execution of advanced neural networks under tight power, memory, and latency constraints.
You will work closely with hardware and system architects, software and hardware engineers, influencing both software and hardware decisions. You will design and implement major parts of Ceva NPU embedded solutions, actively promoting Ceva AI capabilities to the customers.
**What will you do:**
Own and design key components of the AI Graph Compiler software stack for NPU-based systems.
Lead optimization of inference performance (latency, throughput, memory footprint, power) for edge deployments
Collaborate on HW–SW co-design, influencing NPU architecture
Support IP evaluations and silicon bring-up, root-cause complex HW/SW issues, and influence development methodologies
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical best practices
- 7+ years of experience in building high-quality embedded software using C/C++.
- BSc/MSc in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent.
- Experience developing and maintaining embedded systems, including multi-component software stacks, tight HW/SW integration, and system-level debugging
- Experience in designing and implementing software based on product & hardware specifications
- Experience working under tight memory, power, and real-time constraints
- Strong English proficiency with the ability to communicate clearly and effectively in writing and verbally.
