[SW] Firmware Engineer

Frontier of On-device AI Semiconductors

for Everyone, Everywhere

Role Overview

The Software Group at DeepX plays a critical role in enabling customers who develop AI-based application products to effectively utilize DeepX’s world-class AI processor technologies. We develop a broad range of software technologies that bridge our proprietary NPU (Neural Processing Unit) with end-user applications.

Our software stack, DXNN SDK, covers the full range of components needed to run DeepX NPUs in customer products — from firmware and drivers to compilers (DX-COM), runtime software (DX-RT), and code infrastructure for deep learning model training frameworks.

DeepX’s NPU technology is commercialized as a system-on-chip (SoC) product by combining CPU and various hardware technologies. To help users easily develop applications with these So Cs, the availability of robust low-level software for directly controlling the hardware is essential. If you’re passionate about building solid technical foundations that support a wide variety of AI applications, DeepX invites you to take on this valuable challenge with us.
