Principal Firmware Developer, AI Platform

We are looking for a Principal Firmware Engineer to lead the integration and control of our next-generation AI accelerators. As our products evolve to include dedicated neural network hardware, the challenge shifts from pure algorithm implementation to complex hardware orchestration. This role is about more than just writing kernels; it’s about defining the firmware layer that sits between high-level AI frameworks and our custom silicon. You will be responsible for how our DSPs manage, schedule, and feed data to these accelerators. We need a veteran who can look at a PyTorch model and determine the best way to tile memory, manage DMA transfers, and synchronize processing to ensure we hit our ultra-low-power targets while maximizing throughput. You will also be the primary technical voice influencing our future hardware specs to ensure our accelerators are actually "firmware-friendly." onsemi (Nasdaq: ON) is driving disruptive innovations to help build a better future. With a focus on automotive and industrial end-markets, the company is accelerating change in megatrends such as vehicle electrification and safety, sustainable energy grids, industrial automation, and 5G and cloud infrastructure. With a highly differentiated and innovative product portfolio, onsemi creates intelligent power and sensing technologies that solve the world’s most complex challenges and leads the way in creating a safer, cleaner, and smarter world.
