Mythic, Inc.
About us:
Mythic is building the future of AI computing with breakthrough analog technology that delivers 100× the performance of traditional digital systems at the same power and cost. This unlocks bigger, more capable models and faster, more responsive applications—whether in edge devices like drones, robotics, and sensors, or in cloud and data center environments. Our technology powers everything from large language models and CNNs to advanced signal processing, and is engineered to operate from –40 °C to +125 °C, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense.
We’ve raised over $100M from world-class investors including Softbank, Threshold Ventures, Lux Capital, and DCVC, and secured multi-million-dollar customer contracts across multiple markets.
Mythic’s System Software (SYS-SW) team (SYS-SW) team is seeking anembedded software engineerto help build the foundation of our AI hardware software stack. The SYS-SW team develops low-level software for Mythic’s Analog Processing Unit and works closely with hardware design, compiler, validation, and manufacturing teams.
This is a broad, hands-on role that spans chip architecture, hardware/software co-design, compiler technology, and neural network optimization. If you’re excited about working at the intersection of AI, embedded systems, and low-level software, this position is for you.
Location:
Palo Alto-CA, Austin-Texas, Remote (must align with Pacific or Central U.S. working hours).
What You’ll Do
Co-design next-generation compute accelerators with the hardware team
Develop real-time firmware enabling neural networks with the compiler team
Create firmware for boot, debug, and profiling support
Build Linux kernel modules for low-latency, high-throughput data transfer
Develop Linux libraries supporting inference frameworks
Implement Linux utilities for secure boot management
Optimize inference software for embedded platforms
Develop test firmware and utilities for manufacturing and customer deployments
What We’re Looking For
Strong background inbare-metal and RTOS firmware development
5+ yearsin embedded firmware, systems, or applications engineering on SoCs (experience with microcontrollers, DMA, secure boot, and serial peripherals)
5+ yearsprogramming inC;1+ yearinC++
Experience withARM or RISC assembly
5+ yearsworking with build tools (make, CMake, Bazel)
1+ yearscripting inPython
Familiarity withgitor other version control systems1+ yearof hands-onsilicon bring-upexperience
Nice to Have
PCIe protocol or driver development experience
MIPI-CSI2 protocol or driver development experience
Experience writing customer-facing documentation
Background in SDK or BSP development (e.g., Yocto)
Understanding ofparallel computingand/orcompiler development
Experience with code quality tools, RTL simulators, or FPGA emulation
Knowledgeofneural networksandmachine learning
Experience with tile-based architectures
$120,000 - $225,000 a year
The proposed salary range for this position is $120,000–$225,000 annually. Actual compensation depends on experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
At Mythic, we foster a collaborative and respectful environment wherepeople can do their best work.
