À propos de ce poste Senior Embedded Engineer chez Efficient Computer
Efficient is developing the world’s most energy-efficient general-purpose computer processor. Efficient’s patented technology uses 100x less energy than state of the art commercially available ultra-low-power processors and is programmable using standard high-level programming languages and AI/ML frameworks. This level of efficiency makes perpetual, pervasive intelligence possible: run AI/ML continuously on a AA battery for 5-10 years. Our platform’s unprecedented level of efficiency enables IoT devices to intelligently capture and curate first-party data to drive the next major computing revolution
Efficient’s Embedded Engineers design and implement firmware, applications and hardware that feature the world’s most energy-efficient programmable processors. The role’s primary responsibility is developing firmware and applications for our processors. The role’s responsibilities also include enhancing and maintaining our bare-metal SDK, porting RTOSes to run on our processors, developing hardware (development kits and bring-up boards) and participating in pre-silicon and post-silicon engineering activities (validation and verification).
This position is a unique opportunity to develop cutting-edge hardware and software as part of a highly interdisciplinary team, helping to demonstrate the value of Efficient’s breakthrough technology. If you are an engineer who wants to be part of an intensely skilled team and wants to have an immediate impact building the next generation of energy-efficient embedded applications, this is for you!
