About Us: Innatera is a rapidly growing Dutch semiconductor company that develops ultra-efficient neuromorphic processors for AI at the edge. These microprocessors mimic the brain’s mechanisms for processing fast data streams from sensors, enabling complex turn-key sensor analytics functionalities, with 10,000x higher performance per watt than competing solutions. Innatera's technology serves as a critical enabler for next-generation use cases in the IoT, wearable, embedded, and automotive domains.

We are looking for a highly skilled AI researcher + engineer with a solid neuromorphic computing and AI background in neural networks, who will contribute to foundational explorations and development of (new) algorithms and use-cases for neuromorphic AI technology, and will support design-space explorations for future sensing and acceleration solutions for energy-efficient real-world embedded AI applications.

We will trust you with:

NB: The term Neuromorphic includes but is not limited to SNNs

Your experience includes:

• Research-level experience in Neuromorphic computing and Engineering (PhD degree preferable). With a publication track record in a relevant area (e.g., ML/AI, neuromorphic computing/engineering).
• Solid knowledge of Deep-Learning (and ideally broader ML) theory and foundations.
• Good in software conceptualization and prototyping (able to write tidy and readable code). Experience with tooling for ML/AI development/testing (Python, Pytorch/TF, ScikitLearn, etc).
• Systematic in empirical experimentation, data analysis and documentation of results.
• Experienced with drafting research manuscripts for publications.
• Good at abstract and analytical thinking and capable of communicating succinctly abstract concepts and ideas.

Nice to Have:

• Some background in optimization (linear/non-linear).
• Some knowledge of computer architectures.
• Experience with writing project proposals and supervising/mentoring junior researchers/engineers.
• Some proficiency in C/C++ and embedded systems programming.
