We combine cutting-edge hardware IP design with embedded software and system-level solutions, enabling the next generation of intelligent and energy-efficient devices.
About the Role:
As the AI Software SDK Senior Team Leader, you will manage the Ceva’s NPU AI software stack end to end, a complex, multi-layered system spanning the Host (SDK, runtime, APIs, and UMD/KMD drivers) and the NPU IP (embedded firmware). Built on the newest AI compiler and runtime AI frameworks, this stack turns the most demanding neural networks into high-performance execution on Ceva NPUs. You will build and lead a multi-site global organization, plus sub-contractor teams abroad, including a dedicated automation and release team responsible for a fully automated CI and release process.
Key Responsibilities:
Build and lead the AI Software SDK development group , in Israel and other global locations plus sub-contractor teams abroad.
Own the NPU AI software stack across Host and IP, Host-side SDK, runtime, APIs, and UMD/KMD drivers (Linux, Android), and IP-side firmware, built on modern AI compiler frameworks (TVM, MLIR, IREE).
Deliver high quality, at performance, and on-time AI SW SDK product, working across functions and directly with customers.
Lead the automation and release team to deliver a robust, fully automated CI and release process.
Recruit, mentor, and grow the organization, including its team leaders.
