Job Responsibilities:
• Define and maintain the NPU software product roadmap spanning the full stack: AI/ML compiler pipeline, AI/ML tools for optimization (conversion, quantization, pruning), runtime and execution engine, SDK and developer APIs, model optimization, workflow and repository, and existing eIQ platform integration.
• Own and create a scalable platform/toolkit to support newer model architectures (CNNs, LLMs, ViTs, VLMs) and enable a path to Day 0 model support in the long run.
• Maintain familiarity with supported architectures and operators, align customer expectations with available model support, and work with Engineering to close identified gaps.
• Engage closely with GTM to help prioritize industry verticals, segments, and use cases to create an enablement strategy for all business units.
• Enable system-level solutions through pre-sales and sales strategy and support.
• Define an integrated compiler strategy and transition all NXP AI products to a unified AI workflow across business units.
• Continuously monitor AI market developments and trends (compilers,



operators, frameworks, models, microservices, skills, and agents) and build or refine NXP’s AI strategy.
• Drive the eIQ integration strategy—integrate the current- and next-generation Neutron compiler and SDK within NXP's eIQ developer setting and define NPU support for the existing MPU/MCU developer base. Create a cradle-to-grave plan for features and components during eIQ integration.
• Develop use-case-driven software enablement and help prioritize, reset, and reconcile existing features to deliver a holistic user experience.
• Own the upstream open-source compiler integration strategy—define NXP's participation and contribution roadmap for Apache TVM, MLIR/LLVM, ONNX Runtime, and PyTorch/TensorFlow export paths.
• Define and maintain the model zoo or an equivalent—curate, compile, quantize, and benchmark frontier models (LLaMA variants, YOLO generations, Whisper, Phi, Gemma, custom vi
