In this position

In this role, you would work very closely with both customers and internal teams. On the technical side, you would build demos and reference applications in C++, Python, and GStreamer, helping showcase and enable different AI use cases, including vision AI and generative AI.

You would also support customers as they evaluate and deploy our technology, helping them optimize models, integrate with our accelerator stack, and troubleshoot issues. Internally, the role acts as a bridge between customers, R&D, product, and business teams to make sure technical requirements and feedback are clearly communicated.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop end-to-end demo and reference applications in C++, Python, and GStreamer for Vision AI and GenAI use cases.
  • Own deep technical expertise across the accelerator stack, including Dataflow Compiler, runtime, model quantization, performance optimization, and roadmap direction.
  • Support deployment and optimization of deep learning models, including transformer-based and generative models.
  • Lead technical alignment processes with customers from evaluation through deployment.
  • Act as primary technical focal point for selected strategic accounts.
  • Provide structured and high-quality pre-sales and post-sales technical support.
  • Drive issue resolution across Customer Success and R&D, ensuring clear ownership and follow-up.
  • Translate business needs into technical requirements and collaborate with Product to influence roadmap decisions.
  • Ensure excellent response time and support quality for customer escalations.
  • Define best practices, documentation, and internal workflows for application engineering.

Requirements:

  • 1+ years of hands-on experience as a software, algorithm, or embedded developer.
  • Programming languages: Python, C/C++, GStreamer
  • Excellent communication skills and customer-facing confidence.
  • Strong interest in AI and deep learning technologies.
  • Highly organized with ability to manage multiple parallel topics and stakeholders.
  • Fluent English.

Advantages:

  • Customer-facing technical role experience such as FAE, Solutions Engineer, or Application Engineer.
  • Experience working with AI accelerators or edge AI hardware.
  • Experience with GenAI, large language models, or vision transformers.
  • Experience with model optimization, ONNX, quantization, or inference runtimes.
  • Familiarity with Linux, Yocto, and embedded environments.

We are passionate about building an inclusive and equitable working environment.

We promote a flexible work environment that encourages work-life balance.

If you don't meet 100% of the requirements– no worries!

Our DNA is characterized by openness to multi-disciplinary people, who bring great potential to grow with us, not just a skills set list. We encourage you to apply if you think this role would excite you about coming to work every day.
