Axelera AI is not your regular deep-tech company. Axelera AI is not your regular deep-tech company. In just five years, we have raised a total of $450 million and have built a world-class team of 250+ employees (including 60+ PhDs with more than 40,000 citations), both remotely from 21 different countries and with offices in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, the UK, headquartered at the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, Netherlands. We have also launched our Metis AI Platform, which achieves a 3-5x increase in efficiency and performance, and have visibility into a strong business pipeline exceeding $100 million. Our unwavering commitment to innovation has firmly established us as a global industry pioneer. As a Senior AI Application Engineer in the Model Enablement team (Application Software), you will own LLM and VLM support on Metis and Europa AIPUs, from studying new models to shipping them in the Voyager SDK. The role combines LLM/VLM knowledge with solid software engineering. Our team uses AI coding agents in daily work, and you will use them to build, test and verify your own work. We also welcome experienced field application engineers, technical leads and engineering managers who want to return to hands-on engineering. Experience in planning,



delegating and reviewing work transfers well to working with AI agents. Productization: Turn your results and our ML research group's results into supported Voyager SDK features, with stable APIs, tests, documentation and release gates. For each LLM/VLM building block, own the PyTorch reference with quantization baked in, the weight mapping, and one contract that lists every input, output, weight and persistent state (such as a paged KV cache), and hand that contract to the compiler team. The runtime and tests use the same definition. Quality: Recommend what the Voyager SDK needs for GenAI, agents and speech on edge devices, and which model zoo demos show it best. 5+ years of software engineering experience, with at least 2 years on ML inference, ML systems or ML tooling. Strong Python and PyTorch, and experience shipping production-quality software. Daily use of AI coding agents on real codebases, with good judgment about when to verify or reject their output. Experience building evaluation or testing harnesses for ML systems or AI agents, or tool-calling agents (for example MCP servers).
