Staff AI Application Engineer (Automotive SoC)

Job Description

Job Summary

We are looking for an AI Application Engineer to support the enablement, optimization, and deployment of AI models on automotive-grade SoCs.

In this role, you will work closely with internal compiler/runtime teams and external customers to bring AI models from training to optimized inference on embedded NPU/DSP platforms, with a strong focus on performance, accuracy, and system integration.

Key Responsibilities

AI Model Enablement & Optimization

• Enable and deploy AI models (e.g., BEV, object detection, segmentation, classification) on Gen4/5 SoC platforms with CNNIP/DSP/NPU HWA.
• Perform model performance analysis (latency, throughput, multi-core scaling) and identify bottlenecks related to memory bandwidth, scheduling, or operator mapping.
• Support model optimization workflows, including:
  • Post-Training Quantization (PTQ)
  • Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) collaboration
  • Operator fusion, graph optimization, and execution partitioning
• Analyze accuracy degradation caused by quantization or operator limitations and propose mitigation strategies.

Embedded AI Inference & System Integration

• Integrate AI models into embedded runtime environments
