In this position

You will serve as the primary technical interface between Hailo and its customers for our AI accelerator product line, including the Hailo-8, Hailo-10, and future accelerator platforms. You will support customers through the full product lifecycle — from pre-sale technical engagement and proof-of-concept development through production deployment and ongoing field support. You will work hand-in-hand with R&D to investigate and resolve complex issues, develop reference applications and demos, and act as a trusted technical advisor to both customers and internal teams.

Responsibilities:

• Develop a comprehensive understanding of each customer's use case, system architecture, and integration requirements, serving as their primary technical point of contact for all accelerator-related topics.
• Provide deep technical support across the Hailo accelerator portfolio (Hailo-8, Hailo-10, and upcoming platforms), including HailoRT, the Dataflow Compiler, model compilation, and runtime integration.
• Reproduce, investigate, and drive resolution of complex hardware and software issues in close collaboration with R&D, spanning PCIe integration, driver-level debugging, inference pipeline optimization, and power management.
• Lead technical alignment with customers — clearly communicating issue status, setting expectations, coordinating across internal teams, and ensuring customer satisfaction.
• Design and implement customer-facing demo and reference applications in C/C++, showcasing accelerator capabilities at major industry events such as CES and other trade shows.
• Support pre-sale technical activities including solution scoping, feasibility assessments, and technical presentations to prospective customers.
• Provide knowledge transfer and technical enablement to FAEs and partners to scale field support effectiveness.
• Collaborate closely with R&D, Product, and Business teams to translate customer needs into actionable product requirements and roadmap input.
