About the Role

Normal Computing is seeking a Silicon Software Lead to build the software stack that makes their novel silicon programmable and performant for AI inference workloads. This role involves leading a team, owning the software stack architecture, co-designing with hardware architects, and driving the development of runtime and tooling.

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow the silicon software team spanning compiler, runtime, and systems software.
• Own the architecture of the software stack from ML framework ingestion through compilation, scheduling, and memory management to execution on Normal hardware.
• Partner with silicon architects on ISA definition and the hardware abstraction layer.
• Drive development of the runtime, kernels, drivers, profiling, and debugging tools.
• Keep the software stack running against simulation, FPGA prototypes, and silicon as the hardware matures.
• Set the silicon software roadmap, define milestones against the hardware program, and hire engineers.

Requirements

• Substantial experience building software stacks for accelerators or non-standard hardware targets: compilers, runtimes, kernels, or drivers.
• Experience leading engineers as a technical lead or manager while staying hands-on in design and code.
• Strong systems programming skills in C++, Rust, or equivalent, with fluency in Python.
• Deep understanding of ML inference workloads and the constraints that shape their execution on hardware.
• Experience with compiler frameworks such as MLIR or LLVM, or with inference runtimes and kernel development.
• Comfort building software for hardware that is still evolving, from simulation through bring-up.
• Track record of hiring and developing strong systems engineers.
