This role is part of the Kinara Group at NXP Semiconductors, combining the agility and innovation of a startup with the scale, stability, and global reach of a leading semiconductor company.
Kinara was founded on patented technology developed during the founders’ Ph.D. research at Stanford University, with a mission to redefine AI inference at the edge through tightly integrated hardware and software. Following Kinara’s acquisition, this mission continues within NXP, with the Kinara team operating as a dedicated AI accelerator and software group focused on pushing the boundaries of edge AI.
The team has delivered two generations of AI silicon shipping in volume, supported by a mature and production-ready software stack, making it one of the most proven edge AI platforms in the industry. Kinara technology is used by marquee customers, including GAFA-class companies, a leading global e-commerce provider, and Tier-1 PC OEMs.
As part of NXP, the Kinara Group now benefits from world-class silicon execution, manufacturing scale, and customer access, while retaining its startup culture, deep AI expertise, and compiler-driven engineering mindset. Joining this team offers the best of both worlds: the opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI compiler and silicon technology, with real-world impact and long-term stability.
