Embedded Software Engineer
Context:
GreenWaves Technologies is a fabless semiconductor start-up with headquarters in Grenoble, France and offices in Bologna (Italy) and Shanghai (China). We design powerful, highly efficient and easy to program ultra-low-power AI+DSP processors based on RISC-V. GreenWaves’ mission is to enable the sensing edge wherever it might get to. We started from AIoT, we are getting into hearables. We will move on to medical wearables and will move on to automotive.
Our first product GAP8 has been the first AI MCU in the market and among the very first openly programmable RISC-V processors. It enables battery powered devices for people counting, people detection, face identification, spoken language understanding, analogue meters reading and more.
Our second product GAP9 is leading the industry to deliver the best audio experience for hearables with features like clear voice, AI-driven ANC and 3D sound among others. Hearables is on its way to taking over smartphones in terms of innovation and volumes.
As a growing, talented and highly multicultural team with sharp personalities, we are proud of what we do and how we do it. Our non-hierarchical culture means living our core values: ownership, collaboration, agility, dedication to customers and engagement. We believe that work is more than just a to-do list.
