Founded in 2017 by veteran semiconductor and AI algorithm engineers, Furiosa operates globally with offices in Korea and Silicon Valley, along with a compiler-focused R&D lab in Lisbon. \nOur vision is to make AI computing sustainable, enabling access to powerful AI for everyone on Earth. We solve the AI hardware energy and operational cost crisis at the architectural level, rather than through brute force, building the world's first truly AI-native compute platform to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence for every enterprise.\nAbout the Role\nJoin our Power, Performance, and Thermal (PPT) Engineering team to optimize the next generation of AI accelerators. In this role, you will drive hardware and system-level innovations that maximize performance while minimizing power consumption and thermal impact. You will work closely with architecture, design, and software teams to develop high-performance, power-efficient NPU solutions from concept to production.\nWho We’re Looking For\nWe welcome engineers at all experience levels-from early-career professionals to experienced technical leaders-who are passionate about building and optimizing world-class NPU architectures and solving complex power, performance, and thermal challenges.\nKey Responsibilities\nYou will develop core system software to control power, performance, and thermals in an Linux environment for NPU SoCs.\n\nDVFS & Power Management: Design and develop dynamic voltage and frequency scaling policies and drivers utilizing cpufreq, devfreq, and SCMI under Embedded Linux.\n\nCore Subsystem Driver Development: Build and optimize drivers for CCF (Common Clock Framework), Regulators, and Thermal Management.\n\nPower/Performance Profiling: Analyze power consumption and thermal trends during NPU execution to construct and validate optimal OPP (Operating Performance Point) tables.\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nStrong proficiency in C/C++ and AArch64 assembly.\n\nHands-on experience in Linux Kernel and Device Driver development.\n\nDeep understanding of SoC architecture, including clock trees and power management mechanisms.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience in Chip/Board Bring-up and firmware development for mobile SoCs, NPUs, or GPUs.\n\nExperience with JTAG in any aspect of debugging.\n\nExperience with, or a strong interest in, Rust for system programming.\n\nA proactive problem-solver who enjoys optimizing at the intersection of hardware and software.\n\nWork Location & Flexibility\nLocation: Choose between our Seoul (Sinsa) office or Gyeonggi-do (Dongtan, Hwaseong) office.\n\nHybrid Work: Highly flexible remote/work-from-home policy to ensure you can focus and deliver your best work in an autonomous environment.\n\nWhy Join FuriosaAI\nThe defining bottleneck of the AI era is building the right hardware and software stack to run it at global scale. Furiosa is solving this challenge holistically from the ground up.\nWith our flagship chip, RNGD, in mass production today and our next-generation platform in development with Broadcom, we are proving that full-stack, tensor-native compute is the future of AI infrastructure. This is a pivotal moment to join our team, right as we accelerate our global expansion.\nAt Furiosa, you will:\nSolve AI’s Most Urgent Challenge. Help build the high-performance, energy-efficient inference hardware and software required to fulfill the promise of advanced AI.\nPioneer Full-Stack Co-Design. Work with teams that are architecting solutions from silicon up through the compiler (featuring innovations like Tensor Contraction Language and Virtual ISA) and serving frameworks.\nShip Real-World Silicon, Software, and Solutions. Turn breakthrough technology into commercial deployment. RNGD is in mass production with TSMC and running live enterprise workloads for global leaders like LG AI Research and Samsung SDS.\nPartner With the Industry's Best. Collaborate across an elite global ecosystem that includes TSMC, Broadcom, SK Hynix, and GUC.\nDo Your Life’s Best Work. Join a brilliant, low-ego, mission-driven team in a high-trust environment that values autonomy, intellectual curiosity, and shared ambition. \nContact\n ","description_format":"text","description_chars":4260,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"South Korea","iso":"KR","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-19T12:41:43Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-08T06:54:36Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-21T17:33:40Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-10-26T08:43:42Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/furiosa-systems-software-engineer-power-performance-and-thermal-ppt","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/furiosa-systems-software-engineer-power-performance-and-thermal-ppt.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-26T12:59:41Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":17989,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-27T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":31683},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=31683"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffuriosa-systems-software-engineer-power-performance-and-thermal-ppt"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ffuriosa-systems-software-engineer-power-performance-and-thermal-ppt"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ffuriosa-systems-software-engineer-power-performance-and-thermal-ppt"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/furiosa-systems-software-engineer-power-performance-and-thermal-ppt\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffuriosa-systems-software-engineer-power-performance-and-thermal-ppt"}]}
