Senior Researcher – GPU, AI & Hardware Architecture

Huawei Canada has an immediate permanent opening for a Researcher.

About the team:

The Software-Hardware System Optimization Lab focuses on research and innovation in power efficiency and performance optimization for consumer devices. By leveraging the talents and capabilities of local academia and our team, we aim to build system-optimization capabilities for software and hardware across edge AI, multimedia, graphics, mobile gaming, and system software domains, thereby enhancing the user experience and performance competitiveness of Huawei's consumer device products.

About the job:

• Research and prototype next-generation GPU/AI/hardware architectures — explore the frontier of AI-driven rendering, AI model training/fine-tuning on GPUs, and heterogeneous compute (CPU/GPU/NPU) co-design to shape future product direction.

• Design and build AI compute platforms and toolchains — develop training/fine-tuning support, model deployment, evaluation harnesses, and agent/skill tooling that enable AI teams to move faster.

• Profile and optimize GPU/CPU/AI performance across multiple platforms, driving real, measurable improvements from architecture down to kernel and shader level.

• Build bridges across the stack — collaborate closely with hardware design, software/driver, AI/algorithm, and product/game teams to validate ideas from architecture through to production.
