About the role

  • Efficient's patented technology uses 100x less energy than state of the art commercially available ultra-low-power processors and is programmable using standard high-level programming languages and AI/ML frameworks.
  • This level of efficiency makes perpetual, pervasive intelligence possible: run AI/ML continuously on a AA battery for 5-10 years.
  • This role requires a unique set of skills that span both embedded software development as well as typical cloud compute platforms.

Responsibilities

  • Embedded Hardware Deployment, Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Install new embedded hardware platforms, manage deployed hardware, and perform debug and failure analysis of hardware issues.
  • Test Program Development: Write, port, and maintain low-level c/c++ test programs that run on a diverse set of hardware targets to measure performance, power, and functional behavior.
  • Tooling & Automation: Build Python tooling and scripts to automate workflows, parse results, generate reports and drive developer facing performance dashboards.
  • Kubernetes Infrastructure: Maintain and evolve Kubernetes deployments, including job queueing, load balancing, scheduling, and resource management for hardware-attached worker nodes
  • Server, Client & Database Development: Design, implement, and maintain Go-based server and client applications.
  • Manage PostgreSQL (operations data store) and Redis (caching layer), including schema design, query optimization, migrations, and reliability improvements.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and technical communication skills, with the ability to clearly document complex systems, and lead discussions across teams.
  • A collaborative spirit, with the ability to support and influence multiple engineering teams, balancing competing priorities.
  • C/C++: Demonstrated ability to write, debug, and maintain systems-level or test code.
  • Background in performance profiling, benchmark design, or comparative hardware analysis.

Requirements

  • run AI/ML continuously on a AA battery for 5-10 years.
  • Hands-on embedded hardware and software development experience, including working with embedded toolchains and bring-up of new hardware platforms.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field - or equivalent practical experience.
  • Lead level experience with 5+ years in a cloud and embedded hw infrastructure, test engineering, and full-stack systems role.
  • Go: Strong proficiency, including experience building production services with HTTP APIs and WebSockets
  • Databases: Practical experience with PostgreSQL (operations workloads) and Redis (caching)
  • Experience with JTAG/SWD debugging tools and workflows

Compensation

  • We offer a competitive salary for this role, generally ranging from $180,000 to $220,000, along with bonus, meaningful equity and comprehensive benefits.

Benefits

  • Monitor system health, triage failures, perform root-cause analysis, and continually improve the resilience, robustness, and performance of the infrastructure.
  • Efficient offers a competitive compensation and benefits package, including 401K match, company-paid benefits, equity program, paid parental leave, and flexibility.

Company info

  • We are committed to personal and professional development and strive to grow together as people and as a company.
