AI Systems Engineer (m/f/d)

Huawei Heisenberg Research Center (Munich) is responsible for advanced technology research, architectural development, design and strategic engineering of our products. Huawei’s Dresden Research Center (DRC)’s mission is to explore programming models, operating system and virtualization technologies on multicore heterogeneous architectures and NVM/SCM platforms, aiming to provide a high-performance, reliable abstraction layer for efficient resource utilization. DRC focuses its technical research in the key areas of Smart Mobile, Telecom, Autonomous Driving, Internet of Things, and Industry 4.0.

Join us as an AI Systems Engineer (m/f/d) to bring intelligent agents to life on real-world devices. You’ll work on squeezing every ounce of performance out of modern mobile hardware, optimizing deep learning models for low-latency, battery-friendly inference. If “running AI inferences on edge” makes your eyes sparkle, this one’s for you.

Your mission

• Deliver efficient, on-device AI inference by optimizing machine learning models for mobile and resource-constrained platforms—enabling fast, reliable, and privacy-preserving user experiences.
• Engineer performance-critical systems that balance power consumption, latency, and accuracy across various hardware targets such as ARM CPUs, mobile GPUs, and NPUs.
• Collaborate closely with AI and Systems engineers to translate cutting-edge model architectures into production-ready implementations.
• Build robust deployment pipelines using tools like TensorFlow Lite or custom runtimes to ensure scalable delivery and monitoring of edge AI workloads.
• Champion edge-first intelligence by designing solutions that reduce cloud dependency, improve responsiveness, and enhance user data privacy.
