Job description

About the Team MediaTek IoT BU's Linux Platform Team develops Linux system software and distributions for the MediaTek Genio platform, working with partners, open-source communities, and upstream maintainers to deliver maintainable Yocto, Ubuntu, and Debian solutions. We are looking for a Senior AI Engineer to lead the development and optimization of MediaTek ONNX NeronEP, our ONNX Runtime Execution Provider. This role focuses on ONNX Runtime integration, NPU acceleration, customer model performance analysis, and Debian/Ubuntu ecosystem integration.

You will help enable real-world Edge AI products across robotics, drones, and future GenAI-on-edge use cases, while contributing to ONNX Runtime upstream and broader Linux distribution integration.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead the development, maintenance, and performance optimization of MediaTek ONNX NeronEP, with NPU as the primary acceleration backend.
• Work closely with internal runtime, driver, compiler, and platform teams, as well as external partners, to upstream NeronEP into the official ONNX Runtime project and maintain compatibility with new ONNX Runtime releases.
• Analyze customer ONNX models, identify performance bottlenecks and functional gaps, determine whether issues come from the runtime, driver, kernel, hardware accelerator, or the model design itself, and provide concrete optimization recommendations.
• Develop model optimization, performance analysis, debug tools, and reference applications to lower the adoption barrier for MediaTek AI solutions.
• Drive the delivery of related AI toolchains as Debian/Ubuntu packages to support integration, deployment, and long-term maintenance in standard Linux distributions.
• Support customer AI projects from PoC to productization, with a focus on debugging, performance analysis, model optimization, and deployment recommendations.
