Embedded Software - Compiler

Latent AI believes in a vibrant and sustainable future driven by the power of AI. Our mission is to enable the vast potential of AI that is efficient, practical and useful.

We are a diverse, ambitious team of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs and visionaries revolutionizing how the next generation AI systems are built. We are deeply passionate about the future of AI, our work, and how we can make our customers and ourselves successful. We value mentorship, personal and professional growth at Latent AI! Our leadership consists of seasoned professionals who welcome the opportunity to share their knowledge and experience with a motivated team willing to learn, collaborate, and think big. 

Latent AI is backed by Future Ventures, Blackhorn Ventures, Auto Tech Ventures, Booz Allen Hamilton, Lockheed Martin, 40 North Ventures, Pegasus Tech Ventures, and SRI International.

Latent AI enables creation of more robust, efficient, and agile edge applications that improve user adoption and mission impact.  Our current product mission is simplifying and accelerating traditional AI workflows from model training and optimization to deployment and support. Our flagship product, the Latent AI Efficient Inference Platform™ (LEIP), is a unified SDK built for machine learning engineers and AI software developers. Our solutions are being used in more places than ever before including manufacturing automation, predictive maintenance, process control, consumer electronics, and defense and aerospace applications. And we are just getting started.

As a vital member of a growing team, you will have the opportunity to directly shape our culture and personality as well as implement systems that support our company's evolution and direction.  The Embedded Software - Compiler will develop software and systems for embedded AI applications.  You will help develop algorithms, software, and applications in areas such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, IoT, and consumer electronics. We are looking for developers with a background in deep learning, compilers, or compiler optimizations.

You will join our Compiler & Embedded Systems team who provides compiler and runtime support for our tooling.  You will also work in a cross-functional manner with the Machine Learning and Software Engineering teams to develop core technologies and products.

Please note that this position will open in Q3-Q4 2022. We will hold any resumes submitted before this time in our system for evaluation.

The Embedded Software - Compiler will: 

• Help develop software and applications in areas such as autonomous vehicles, robotics, IoT, and consumer electronics.
• Work with senior team members to implement algorithms for future products, and contribute to feasibility studies.
• Work on the implementation of compiler optimization algorithms.
• Migrate our runtime into embedded systems which range from microcontrollers, FPGAs, ASICs, to high performance processing cores.
• Work with a variety of customers and partners ranging from application developers to processor vendors.

We are a true team focused on the same mission. Our interviews are designed to be collaborative, where you learn as much about us as we learn about you. We believe that cultural fit is as important to our success as the technical one. The winning candidate will also have a combination of work experience and expertise similar to the requirements listed below:
