Junior Embedded AI Software Engineer

About the role

Bosch Engineering Center Cluj is seeking a Junior Embedded AI Software Engineer to design and deploy AI‑enabled embedded systems on a multi‑vendor AI chiplet platform. You will work at the intersection of hardware, low‑level AI accelerators, and complex software stacks to create safe, secure, and efficient AI pipelines for automotive and industrial applications.

Key responsibilities

• Execute embedded deployment of neural network models, including model slicing, fine‑tuning, and quantization‑aware deployment.
• Deploy and tune AI models on embedded targets, optimizing memory, bandwidth, and power usage.
• Integrate AI accelerator toolchains into Bosch’s internal tool environment for end‑to‑end model development.
• Extend the OpenVX glue‑code generator to automate mapping of AI graphs to heterogeneous chiplets.
• Visualize AI pipeline performance using PRISM‑based tools.
• Develop and optimize OpenVX accelerator back‑ends and kernels for computer‑vision and AI workloads.
• Implement and tune OpenCL and Vulkan kernels for sensor and image‑processing pipelines on GPUs and hardware accelerators.
• Collaborate with hardware teams to define chiplet‑specific APIs, memory models, and communication protocols (e.g., UCIe, host‑side drivers).
• Ensure sensor‑to‑AI data flows meet bandwidth, latency, determinism, and safety‑critical constraints.

Required profile

• 1‑3 years of experience in embedded software engineering with a focus on AI, computer vision, or heterogeneous computing platforms.
• Strong proficiency in C++ and embedded systems programming.

Required skills

• C++
• OpenVX
• OpenCL
• Vulkan
• AI accelerator toolchains
• Neural network model quantization and deployment
• Embedded Linux (implied by embedded development)
• Computer‑vision pipelines
• Sensor data processing
• Chiplet APIs and protocols (UCIe)
• PRISM visualization tools

What we offer

• Opportunities to work on cutting‑edge AI chiplet technology in the automotive domain.
• Access to modern offices and laboratories in Cluj‑Napoca and other Romanian locations.
• Professional development programs and flexible working conditions.
