• Design architectural solutions for the operating system and middleware that can successfully integrate deterministic execution with novel agentic AI technologies.

• Perform low-level performance analysis and optimization for CPUs, GPUs, NPUs, memory, network and other hardware components in embedded systems.

• Increase the reliability and reduce end-to-end latencies of critical computations in the embedded systems.

• Develop key OS technologies to support efficient AI model inference and heterogeneous resource scheduling, enabling a solid foundation for embedded AI applications

Mandatory requirements:

• M.Sc degree in Computer Science, Computer or Electronic Engineering. PhD preferred.

• Experience on edge AI programming (e.g., LiteRT, TensorFlow Lite) and know-how on mechanisms for deterministic AI inference.

• Know-how about machine learning, including CNN, DNN and SVM.

• Excellent knowledge of hardware architectures (SoC, MPU, MMU, interrupt controller, cache and memory hierarchy, memory virtualization, etc.), especially based on ARM or RISC-V ISA. Knowledge about strategies to reduce contention on shared hardware resources.

• Expert in kernel scheduling, real-time scheduling algorithms and memory management.

• Excellent knowledge of the C and C++ programming languages.

• Past experience in Assembly programming and implementation of device drivers.

• Know-how about internal design of the Linux kernel.

• Know-how about the POSIX standard.

• Know-how about the internal design of some RTOS (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ERIKA).

• Expertise on modern distributed service-oriented architectures and strategies for improving determinism and reducing end-to-end latencies.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills with good own initiative and problem-solving attitude.

• Fluency in English and ability to work in a multi-cultural environment.

The following requirements will constitute right of priority:

• Know-how about the automotive OSEK/VDX or AUTOSAR Classic standards.

• Expertise in low-level performance analysis and optimization for embedded systems.

• Familiarity with concepts of functional safety standards (ISO 26262, IEC61508).
