Full Time

I’m working with a leading ultra-low-power semiconductor company looking to hire a Senior Staff Edge AI Firmware Engineer to help bring real-time AI onto edge devices.

If you’re excited about deploying machine learning directly on constrained hardware, this is a genuinely high-impact role working at the forefront of Edge AI.

Why this role stands out

  • Work on next-gen Edge AI runtimes (TFLite Micro / embedded ML stack)
  • Optimise for real-world, battery-powered devices
  • Applications across wearables, smart devices, and always-on sensors
  • Join a team shipping hundreds of millions of devices globally

What you’ll be doing

  • Building and optimising embedded AI runtimes & operator kernels
  • Improving latency, memory footprint, and energy efficiency
  • Developing profiling & performance tooling
  • Collaborating with hardware, ML, and platform teams
  • Supporting real-world customer deployments

What we’re looking for

  • Strong C/C++ embedded software experience
  • Experience working on performance-critical systems
  • Familiarity with RTOS or bare-metal environments
  • Exposure to Edge AI / ML inference (TFLite Micro or similar) is a big plus
  • Experience with ARM toolchains, debugging, and optimisation

This role sits at the intersection of embedded systems, silicon, and machine learning, helping push AI out of the cloud and onto real-world devices where it can operate faster, cheaper, and more efficiently.
