Full-time | Hybrid (Leuven or Geel)
Magics is hiring a Software Engineer to help shape the software stack for our next-generation AI accelerator. This is a technical, high-impact role focused on AI compiler development, low-level software tooling, and deep hardware–software co-design.
You’ll work closely with our digital design and embedded systems teams to build the tools and frameworks that bridge advanced neural networks with custom silicon — enabling AI to operate reliably in space, energy, and defense systems.
Role Description
This is a full-time hybrid role for a Software Engineer, based in Leuven or Geel, Belgium, focusing on AI compilers and low-level software development.
- Develop and extend our AI compiler toolchain, adding support for our custom accelerator and applying hardware-aware optimizations to model graphs.
- Collaborate closely with digital chip designers to drive true hardware-software co-design for our upcoming AI accelerator.
- Build peripheral drivers, SDKs, and developer tools that make it seamless for users to integrate their applications with our hardware solutions.
- Create and optimize low-level libraries and kernels (e.g., convolution operators for TVM) used within our compiler stack.
Your work will directly influence how next-generation AI workloads run in some of the most challenging environments known to humans.
Qualifications
- Master’s/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
- Experience with AI compiler frameworks such as TVM or IREE.
- Strong programming skills in Python and C/C++.
- Deep familiarity with PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, or related NN frameworks.
- Knowledge of quantization, training pipelines, or model compression.
- Embedded software development, including bare-metal or RTOS environments.
- Ability to build end-to-end demonstrators, prototypes, or system-level integrations.
Why join us?
- Solve real, high-stakes engineering challenges at the intersection of AI, radiation-hardened computing, energy, and space.
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with top-class engineers, shaping technologies that push the boundaries of what's possible.
- Be part of a fast-growing deep-tech company where your work has strategic impact and your decisions influence our product roadmap.
- Enjoy autonomy, trust, and the opportunity to define the space-based AI datacenter ecosystem.
