Job Description

As Principal SW Engineer, DSP and Computer Vision, you will be a key member of the MLSoC Platform Software team and will help with the software development effort for our Machine Learning SoC (MLSoC™) targeted for the embedded edge market. You will work closely with the software team to design and implement key components for MLSoC software releases. Your efforts will directly impact our customers in their ability to estimate, analyze and optimize their applications on our SoC.

Areas of focus: Design, implement and test key video processing components of the MLSoC software. Contribute to the overall architecture effort in the process by suggesting SW enhancements that increase performance and decrease power consumption, thus achieving best in class MLSoC performance in the industry. 

Key Responsibilities (including but not limited to):

• Help implement customer processing pipelines that include Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) and other system level components.
• Design and implement Python reference computer vision processing modules.
• Design, implement, test and optimize key pre and post computer vision processing modules that are needed to run ML Vision pipelines on the MLSoC which are multi-core and multi-threaded.
• Design and implement Gstreamer plugins for edge DNN applications.
• Measure accuracy and throughput of computer vision modules and optimize to meet requirements.

Required Background:

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science with 10+ years of experience developing system software for complex vision, image or video processing applications.
