Agentic Edge AI Optimization Engineer

  • Munich (DE) OR Hamburg (DE)
  • Hybrid-Remote Flexibility
  • Initial 12-months + option to join as an employee
  • Competitive Salary / Rate depending on experience level

A leading semiconductor company is expanding a high-priority R&D program focused on Agentic and Generative AI at the edge. This team is taking cutting-edge research and turning it into production-ready, on-device capabilities.

They are searching for an AI Engineer to work hands-on with LLMs, large multimodal models (LMMs), and Vision-Language-Action (VLA) / Audio-Language-Action systems, ensuring they run reliably and efficiently on NPU-based edge platforms using advanced optimization techniques.

A key part of the role is building agentic workflows that are safe by design: function calling, tool orchestration, policy enforcement, guardrails, and secure tool invocation patterns that can operate under embedded constraints.

What you'll do...

  • Optimize LLMs/LMMs/VLA models for on-device deployment via advanced quantization, pruning, distillation, and bandwidth/memory reduction.
  • Accelerate inference with system-level optimizations (e.g., speculative decoding, efficient decoding strategies, KV-cache tuning) built for resource-constrained edge environments.
  • Engineer "tiny" safety-compliant agents: tool use and function calling with guardrails, safe invocation, and secure workflow design.
  • Deploy optimized models via , Ollama, ONNX Runtime, and TFLite to achieve efficient NPU-accelerated inference.
  • Build benchmarking pipelines for latency, memory footprint, energy efficiency, and reliability on real target hardware.
  • Deliver PoCs for edge use cases (e.g., industrial safety monitoring, in-cabin sensing).

What you'll bring

  • Strong hands-on engineering skills in C/C++, Python, Bash on Linux systems.
  • Proven technical background in LLM/LMM/VLMs, system optimization, and Agentic AI.
  • Strong knowledge of AI toolchains, deployment, and inference engines.
  • Familiarity with embedded system development and tooling.
  • Proven experience with model optimization and performance tuning for edge/embedded/NPU targets.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone with experience in both LLMs and Edge AI, who is looking to work on
truly
cutting-edge development.
