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.
Senior NPU SDK EngineerTo support our rapid development roadmap, we’re looking for a Senior NPU SDK Engineer to help drive the development of our simulation environment by enabling early application development and system validation before hardware is available. As a key member of our SDK team, you’ll be responsible for designing and building accurate and high‑performance C++ hardware simulators that reflect our neuromorphic architecture. This role is critical to how our software and hardware teams collaborate to test, validate, and iterate on next‑gen chip designs.
We will trust you with:- Take 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.
- Set and uphold high standards for code quality, maintainability, testing, and release readiness.
- Conduct code reviews and improve engineering practices and ensure robust documentation within the expertise domain.
- Work closely with other team (Digital Design, Firmware, Applications), translate complex algorithm or hardware specifications into efficient, user friendly, and testable software behaviour, and provide technical feedback.
- Provide support to internal teams and customers to enable them to develop applications quickly using our SDK or help solve any issues.
- Contribute to improving power consumption performance, latency, and any performance bottlenecks for our efficient edge‑AI solution.
- Keep innovating, bring latest trend of the technology and best practice to keep our product competitive in the market.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong Python development skills.
- Extensive experience with PyTorch and its customization, including knowledge of internal mechanics.
- Modern C++ development skills (including C++17/20) would be a big plus, or a willingness to expand the knowledge.
- Proven track record of designing modular, maintainable and testable software architecture.
- Experience in low‑power resource‑constrained embedded programming.
- Familiarity with hardware/software co‑design concepts.
- Great communication skills.
- Exposure to bare‑metal firmware development.
- Solid understanding of computer architecture, particularly ARM or RISC‑V‑based systems, and basic digital design knowledge is a big plus.
- Familiarity with ML compilers like MLIR, IREE or PyTorch compiler (Dynamo).
- Familiarity with the runtime of TinyML or EdgeAI runtimes (TensorFlow Lite Micro, execuTorch).
- Knowledge of SNN (Spiking Neural Networks).
