Frontier of On-device AI Semiconductorsfor Everyone, Everywhere

DEEPX is a leading global tech startup at the forefront of the On-Device AI semiconductor market, built on a dual success formula: Arm’s "ultra-low power technology" and a Qualcomm-style "core patent-based IP portfolio." Having conducted performance tests with over 300 global companies, we are recognized for delivering world-class power efficiency and cost-effectiveness, supported by a formidable portfolio of over 400 AI semiconductor patents worldwide. On the strength of these R&D and commercialization achievements, DEEPX successfully secured large-scale investment in 2024. We are now leading the commercialization of AI across diverse sectors—including smart devices, smart mobility, and industrial automation—within the On-Device AI market, which is projected to reach $10.6 billion by 2030.

Role Overview

The Software Group at DEEPX plays a critical role in enabling customers to easily utilize DEEPX’s world-class AI processor core technologies in various AI-based application products.

The group is responsible for developing a full-stack SDK (DXNN) — from firmware and drivers to the compiler (DX-COM), runtime software (DX-RT), and code design for DNN training frameworks — all necessary for running DEEPX NPUs on customer devices.

The DEEPX Runtime (DX-RT) is the CPU-side execution code that enables NPU operations. The Runtime Software Team primarily develops:

Drivers that control NPU execution of AI inference tasks

Pre-processing modules that handle input data before NPU execution

Post-processing modules that manage outputs after NPU computation

Convenient APIs and AI application libraries to support customer integration beyond raw inference

These runtime technologies form the most direct software interface for customers developing real-world applications using DEEPX hardware. If you're passionate about implementing cutting-edge AI algorithms on high-performance, low-power platforms, we invite you to join this meaningful journey at DEEPX.
