About Us
Innatera is a rapidly growing Dutch semiconductor company that develops ultra-efficient neuromorphic processors for AI at the edge. These microprocessors mimic the brain’s mechanisms for processing fast data streams from sensors, enabling complex turn‑key sensor analytics functionalities, with 10,000x higher performance per watt than competing solutions. Innatera's technology serves as a critical enabler for next‑generation use cases in the IoT, wearable, embedded, and automotive domains.
We will trust you with:
- Taking care of the full life‑cycle of our SDK features in one of the components, including the simulator and compiler, or the API and the infrastructure of our SDK;
- Setting and upholding high standards for code quality, maintainability, testing, and release readiness;
- Conducting code reviews and improving engineering practices and ensuring robust documentation within the expertise domain;
- Working closely with other teams (Digital Design, Firmware, Applications), translating complex algorithm or hardware specifications into efficient, user-friendly, and testable software behaviour, and providing technical feedback;
- Providing support to internal teams and customers to enable them to develop applications quickly using our SDK or help solve any issues;
- Contributing to improving power consumption performance, latency, and any performance bottlenecks for our efficient edge‑AI solution;
- Keeping innovating, bringing the latest trends of the technology and best practices to keep our product competitive in the market.
What will you need to succeed:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field;
- Strong Python development skills;
- Extensive experience with PyTorch and its customisation, including knowledge of internal mechanics;
- Modern C++ development skills (including C++17/20) would be a big plus, or a willingness to expand the knowledge;
- Proven track record of designing modular, maintainable and testable software architecture;
- Experience in low‑power resource‑constrained embedded programming;
- Familiarity with hardware/software co‑design concepts;
- Great communication skills.
Nice to have:
- Exposure to bare‑metal firmware development;
- Solid understanding of computer architecture, particularly ARM or RISC‑V‑based systems, and basic digital design knowledge is a big plus;
- Familiarity with ML compilers like MLIR, IREE or PyTorch compiler (Dynamo);
- Familiarity with the runtime of TinyML or EdgeAI runtimes (TensorFlow Lite Micro, execuTorch);
- Knowledge of SNN (Spiking Neural Networks).
