About the AI Division:
The AI Division is a unique and dedicated group within Ceva, driving innovation in Machine Learning and Generative AI architectures for edge devices and cloud inference.
Our R&D domains span Neural Network Processors (NPU), Vision DSPs, and advanced AI algorithms for applications across smartphones, tablets, automotive, surveillance cameras and many more edge AI systems.
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 a senior compiler engineer, you will own the design and development of Ceva’s open source based toolchain and graph compiler. You will drive technical solutions end-to-end, deliver compiler capabilities across all Ceva hardware targets, and help mentor engineers. Our team embraces an AI-agentic development flow, leveraging AI coding agents to accelerate engineering productivity, and we are looking for engineers who champion this approach.
Responsibilities:
Design and develop Ceva’s open source based toolchain targeting custom DSP and NPU architectures.
Drive design and delivery of graph compilation flows: transformations, operator mapping, and code generation.
Champion AI-agentic development practices — integrating AI coding agents into day-to-day engineering workflows.
Own complex components end-to-end, from architecture and design through implementation and delivery.
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers; conduct code reviews.
Collaborate with hardware architecture, algorithms, and software teams globally.
Analyze and optimize toolchain output for performance and correctness across Ceva processor families.
