AI Kernel Optimization Senior Engineer

The role

As Senior AI Kernel Optimization Engineer, you will lead the optimization of high-performance kernels to push the limits of AI Inference on Openchip RISC-V platforms.

You will design, implement, and optimize AI compute kernels (Gen AI Large Language Model, AI Vision, CNNs, etc) and runtime components to fully exploit the underlying hardware architecture — from vector/matrix units and memory hierarchies down to the assembly level.

Your work will directly influence how efficiently AI models run on Openchip SoCs, shaping the performance of next-generation inference accelerators. You will collaborate closely with hardware architects, compiler engineers, and AI framework developers to achieve optimal hardware–software co-design.

Key responsibilities

• Drive the development, optimization, profiling of AI compute-intensive kernels (e.g., GEMM, attention, activations) targeting Openchip RISC-...
