Job Description

Experience Range: 15+ years of deep expertise in edge AI, with a proven history of shaping company-wide or industry-level technical directions in efficient neural inference across multiple hardware platforms.

As a senior staff-level individual contributor and strategic technical authority, you will set the multi-year vision for Lattice's edge AI capabilities, primarily through sensAI on Lattice FPGAs but extending to influence and provide solutions for broader edge ecosystems (including NXP processors/NPUs and other accelerators).

You will solve the most ambiguous, cross-organizational challenges in ultra-efficient edge inference, drive transformative advancements (next-gen hardware-aware co-design, revolutionary compression paradigms), mentor staff/senior engineers.

Key Responsibilities

Define and champion the 3–5+ year technical vision for edge inference — model architectures, optimization paradigms, compiler/ML hardware co-design, and ecosystem strategy primarily for Lattice sensAI, with extensions to other platforms (e.g., NXP NPUs, Arm-based systems)

Lead high-impact, ambiguous initiatives spanning hardware, compiler, software, and product teams.

Architect and drive adoption of groundbreaking techniques: hardware-aware NAS, quantization, dynamic/sparse inference, automated co-design flows for multi-platform deployment

Serve as technical expert, aligning ML strategy with company business goals, hardware roadmaps (Lattice and partners), and long-term competitive positioning. Mentor staff and senior ML engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and innovation in cross-platform edge AI.

Identify and resolve the most complex, organization-spanning bottlenecks in edge inference performance/power/accuracy across Lattice FPGAs and other accelerators.

Own strategic evolution of the sensAI Model Zoo as a flagship industry resource (ecosystem partnerships, standardization, open benchmarks with support for NXP and similar platforms).

Guide creation of advanced R&D prototypes, datasets, and frameworks that shape future sensAI generations and partner integrations.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressively responsible experience in edge AI, with demonstrated company-wide impact in efficient neural networks across diverse hardware
• World-class mastery of DL frameworks, model optimization, and edge deployment ecosystems (including cross-platform tools like ONNX Runtime)
• Pioneering expertise in extreme efficiency techniques and hardware/ML co-design for FPGAs and NPUs
• Track record of full-stack leadership on complex edge AI systems (Lattice FPGAs, NXP NPUs/custom accelerators)
• Exceptional ability to influence senior stakeholders, define strategy, and drive ambiguous initiatives
• PhD in CS, EE, AI/ML or equivalent strongly preferred (with significant research/industry contributions)
