Technical Lead, On-Device AI Inference
About Hark
Hark is an artificial intelligence company building advanced, personalized intelligence. One that is proactive, multimodal, and capable of interacting with the world through speech, text, vision, and persistent memory.
We're pairing that intelligence with next-generation hardware to create a universal interface between humans and machines. While today's AI largely operates through chat boxes and decade-old devices, Hark is focused on what comes next: agentic systems that interact naturally with people and the real world.
To get there, we're developing multimodal models and next-generation AI hardware together - designed from the ground up as a single, unified interface for a new era of intelligent systems.
About the Role
You'll own how Hark's models run on the silicon we ship: selecting the accelerators our devices are built around, co-designing architectures against real latency, memory, and power budgets, and building the low-level inference stack that turns a trained model into something that responds in milliseconds on a battery. You'll build and lead the team that does it. The ceiling on what our hardware can do is set here.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate GPUs, NPUs, DSPs, and specialized accele
