🚀 Firmware Engineer – AI Hardware 🚀


📍 San Jose, CA (Onsite) | 💰 Competitive + equity


We’re working with a well-funded AI hardware startup building next-gen infrastructure for transformer models - replacing GPUs with purpose-built systems delivering major gains in performance, cost, and latency.


They’re hiring engineers to work across the stack and unlock the full potential of large-scale AI systems.


🔧 What you’ll do:

• Build high-performance software across the stack (firmware → frameworks)

• Optimise systems tightly coupled with custom hardware

• Work on cutting-edge AI applications (NLP, generative media, reasoning)

• Solve complex systems challenges at scale


 What they want:

• Strong software engineering fundamentals

• Experience with systems, firmware, or embedded architectures

• Familiarity with IO tech (PCIe, DRAM, SPI, I2C)

• Track record of shipping production systems


💡 Why join?

• Backed by top-tier investors, heavily funded

• Opportunity to redefine AI infrastructure beyond GPUs

• High ownership across engineering + research


If you’re interested in AI + systems + hardware, drop me a message.
