Principal Engineer/Architect – Generative AI & Edge Systems, Automotive

Job description

MediaTek Incorporated is a global fabless semiconductor company that enables nearly 2 billion connected devices a year. We are a market leader in developing innovative systems-on-chip (SoC) for mobile device, home entertainment, connectivity and IoT products. MediaTek is the number one Wi-Fi supplier across broadband, retail routers, consumer electronics devices and gaming, and its Wi-Fi 6 chipsets are powering the latest networking equipment for faster computing experiences.

MediaTek’s Automotive Platform Business Unit is Hiring a Principal Engineer – Generative AI & Edge Systems, Automotive.

In this role, you will: (1)

• Research and develop Generative AI and deep learning-based systems for in-vehicle domains — Infotainment, Speech, UI, and multimodal ADAS — with a focus on architectures deployable on resource-constrained edge hardware. (2)
• Lead integration of GenAI frameworks and toolchains optimized for automotive edge compute, driving adoption of cutting-edge on-device AI techniques from research into production. (3)
• Partner with Silicon and Software engineering teams at HQ (Taiwan) and automotive customers to define and deliver technical solutions for GenAI and LLM requirements, with edge feasibility as a core design constraint from the start. (4)
• Own end-to-end LLM optimization for on-device deployment on GPUs and NPUs — profiling models, identifying bottlenecks, and driving improvements at both the model level (quantization, distillation, pruning) and framework level to maximize inference performance within embedded compute and power budgets. (5)
• Track industry and academic advances in edge AI and efficient LLM techniques, translating relevant breakthroughs into practical, deployable improvements for in-vehicle systems.
