Were looking for a Senior Embedded Processor Architect to join our team at Snap Inc!
What youll do:
You will lead the architecture and design of advanced AI processor cores that enable real-time Edge AI and sensor fusion for next-generation AR Glasses. Working from our Eindhoven office you will collaborate with leading experts in hardware design machine learning and image sensors to create compute architectures that blend AI training efficiency sensor-driven perception and ultra-low-power addition you will:
Architect and define processor cores and compute fabrics optimized for real-time Edge AI and sensor processing workloads.
Co-design neural training and inference frameworks with ML researchers to maximize hardware utilization efficiency and adaptability.
Drive hardware-aware training strategies enabling dynamic and resource-efficient AI models tailored for embedded platforms.
Develop architectural models simulators and performance analysis tools to evaluate design trade-offs across latency power and area.
Collaborate with sensor vision and ML teams to build unified processing pipelines that combine neural inference and sensor fusion.
Explore architectural optimizations for imaging workloads including super-resolution temporal fusion and neural signal processing.
Evaluate emerging sensor technologiessuch as event-based imaging and single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD)to identify opportunities for compute innovation.
Mentor junior architects and contribute to Snaps long-term Edge AI hardware roadmap.
Knowledge Skills & Abilities:
Deep expertise in computer architecture and processor core design including pipeline and memory system architecture.
Strong understanding of machine learning training and optimization with experience in hardware-aware model design (quantization pruning distillation).
Proven ability to co-design neural networks and hardware for low-power real-time performance.
Familiarity with imaging and sensor processing pipelines including (nice to have) exposure to event-based or SPAD-based systems.
Experience with performance modeling simulation and hardware/software co-design frameworks.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to collaborate across hardware software and ML research teams.
Minimum Qualifications:
MsC or PhD in Electrical Engineering Computer Engineering or a related field or equivalent experience.
8 years of experience in processor architecture AI accelerators or embedded compute systems (PhD research counts toward experience).
Demonstrated track record of designing or specifying AI-centric processor architectures or specialized compute units.
Proficiency in AI frameworks (PyTorch TensorFlow) and understanding of their computational backends.
Experience in performance modeling tools such as SystemC or equivalent.
Preferred Qualifications:
Hands-on experience with Edge AI or vision-centric SoCs.
Exposure to sensor fusion neural image processing or event-based vision pipelines.
Knowledge of low-level compiler toolchains (such as MLIR) for AI optimization.
Proven ability to lead cross-disciplinary architectural efforts bridging ML vision and hardware.
