About Us

Mythic is building the future of AI computing with breakthrough analog technology that delivers 100× the performance of traditional digital systems at the same power and cost. This unlocks bigger, more capable models and faster, more responsive applications—whether in edge devices like drones, robotics, and sensors, or in cloud and data center environments. Our technology powers everything from large language models and CNNs to advanced signal processing, and is engineered to operate from –40 °C to +125 °C, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense.

We’ve raised over $100M from world-class investors including Softbank, Threshold Ventures, Lux Capital, and DCVC, and secured multi-million-dollar customer contracts across multiple markets.

Mythic’s System Software (SYS-SW) team is seeking an embedded software engineer to help build the foundation of our AI hardware software stack. The SYS-SW team develops low-level software for Mythic’s Analog Processing Unit and works closely with hardware design, compiler, validation, and manufacturing teams.

This is a broad, hands-on role that spans chip architecture, hardware/software co-design, compiler technology, and neural network optimization. If you’re excited about working at the intersection of AI, embedded systems, and low-level software, this position is for you.

Location: Austin-Texas, San Jose-CA, Remote (must align with Pacific or Central U.S. working hours).

What You’ll Do

  • Co-design next-generation compute accelerators with the hardware team
  • Develop real-time firmware enabling neural networks with the compiler team
  • Create firmware for boot, debug, and profiling support
  • Build Linux kernel modules for low-latency, high-throughput data transfer
  • Develop Linux libraries supporting inference frameworks
  • Implement Linux utilities for secure boot management
  • Optimize inference software for embedded platforms
  • Develop test firmware and utilities for manufacturing and customer deployments

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong background in bare-metal and RTOS firmware development
  • 5+ years in embedded firmware, systems, or applications engineering on SoCs (experience with microcontrollers, DMA, secure boot, and serial peripherals)
  • 5+ years programming in C; 1+ year in C++
  • Experience with ARM or RISC assembly
  • 5+ years working with build tools (make, CMake, Bazel)
  • 1+ year scripting in Python
  • Familiarity with git or other version control systems
  • 1+ year of hands-on silicon bring-up experience

Nice to Have

  • PCIe protocol or driver development experience
  • MIPI-CSI2 protocol or driver development experience
  • Experience writing customer-facing documentation
  • Background in SDK or BSP development (e.g., Yocto)
  • Understanding of parallel computing and/or compiler development
  • Experience with code quality tools, RTL simulators, or FPGA emulation
  • Knowledge ofneural networks and machine learning
  • Experience with tile-based architectures

$120,000 - $225,000 a year

The salary range for this position is $120,000–$225,000 annually. Actual compensation depends on experience, skills, qualifications, and location

At Mythic, we foster a collaborative and respectful environment where people can do their best work.
