Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel GSI Technology Full time ₪120,000 - ₪240,000 per year

AI Hardware Firmware Engineer

Location:
Ramat Hahayal, Tel Aviv

Employer:
GSI Israel

Term:
Full-time Position

GSI is pioneering the
Gemini APU
— a cutting-edge, game-changing processor designed to accelerate compute-intensive tasks such as large language models, machine learning, advanced image processing, and radar imaging.

If you're passionate about designing and optimizing firmware and low-level systems for next-generation AI hardware — and love the challenge of squeezing every bit of performance from complex architectures — this role is for you.

We're seeking a
fast-learning and inventive engineer
eager to bridge the gap between AI software and hardware, with a focus on high-efficiency execution and deep architectural understanding.

What You'll Be Owning

  • Dive deep into GSI's associative AI processing hardware
    , exploring its architecture and firmware interfaces.
  • Design, implement, and optimize low-level firmware
    — including instruction scheduling, memory orchestration, and control flow — for GSI's custom
    Associative Processing architecture
    .
  • Work hands-on with a novel instruction set
    to build firmware routines that maximize throughput, parallelism, and power efficiency.
  • Prototype and tune AI and vision workloads
    — including LLM inference, transformer operations, FFTs, and edge ML tasks — for real-world performance.
  • Collaborate across hardware, compiler, and algorithm teams
    to translate complex ideas into efficient, reliable firmware.
  • Profile, analyze, and debug performance
    using advanced tools and trace systems, constantly improving latency and utilization.
  • Enhance CI pipelines, testing infrastructure, and firmware documentation
    to support rapid iteration and productization.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, startup-style environment
    that rewards curiosity, adaptability, and deep technical exploration.

Qualifications

  • B.Sc. or M.Sc.
    in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Software Engineering

Experience Path 1:

  • 5+ years of C/C++ development focused on
    low-level software or firmware
    for hardware processing units (CPU, GPU, DSP, or accelerator architectures)

Experience Path 2:

  • 5+ years in
    RTL design or verification
    plus 2+ years of hands-on C/C++ development

Required Technical Expertise

  • Proven ability to develop and optimize software/firmware with deep awareness of hardware architecture, memory hierarchies, and system constraints
  • Strong understanding of processor fundamentals — pipelines, execution units, caching, and data movement
  • Experience interpreting
    hardware specifications
    and translating them into robust, high-performance firmware solutions

Preferred Qualifications / Additional Skills

  • Experience developing or optimizing
    firmware or microcode
    for compute hardware
  • Proficiency in
    assembly or low-level systems programming
  • Familiarity with
    deep learning, computer vision
    , or parallel processing frameworks
  • Demonstrated experience porting and optimizing algorithms for
    performance-critical, resource-constrained environments
  • Python scripting for automation, profiling, or build tools
  • Understanding of
    compiler backends
    and code generation principles
  • Practical experience writing
    high-performance compute kernels
    , device drivers, or embedded AI firmware
