About this role
We are looking for an Edge AI SDK Lead with 8+ years of experience to own the customer-facing SDK for Velaura's AI SoC. We want a senior embedded engineer who has shipped SDKs on real silicon, such as SoCs, AI accelerators or multimedia and camera platforms, not cloud, web or backend SDKs. This is a key early hire. You'll set the SDK architecture end to end and then build a team around you to bring Physical AI to robots, drones and other machines.
What will you be doing?
Defining and owning the end-to-end SDK and public API architecture that customers install and run on Velaura's AI SoC.
Turning complex low-level capabilities into a clean developer experience, from unboxing the eval kit to running real robotics and AI workloads. These capabilities span the imaging and camera pipelines, the NPU inference engine, DSPs and CPUs.
Building embedded C/C++ and Python SDK components, sample applications and multimedia (camera, video, audio) examples on embedded Linux.
Hiring, mentoring and leading a team of SDK engineers, with room to also take on the robotics software team.
Working closely with the runtime, kernel, multimedia, robotics, tools and SQA teams to set API standards and release discipline, and to ship SDK releases customers can rely on.
