Description
Job Summary:
As a Sr. Developer, you’ll take ownership of the end-to-end design, implementation, and optimization of our core AI operator modules/kernels. You will be working with diverse cross-functional teams, enhance the performance, reliability, and scalability of our edge AI processors. Your contributions will directly impact our ability to deliver best-in-class AI/ML performance across our product portfolio.
What You’ll Do:
- Design and Development:
- Design and Development of our AI operator modules/kernels to maximize performance and efficiency on our custom ISA-based edge AI processors.
- Understand mathematics of AI operators and come up with solutions towards implementing them in our hardware.
- Understand overall architecture, evaluate cutting-edge methodologies to enhance AI operator performance in both currently released and future products.
- Develop, optimize, and maintain high-performance kernel-level code in C/C++ (and assembly when needed) for AI/ML operators.
- Implement innovative features that streamline system processes, reduce latency.
- Enthusiastic in exploring overall SW stack to come up with innovative solutions.
- Performance Optimization & Debugging:
- Utilize advanced profiling and debugging tools (e.g., GDB, trace analyzers) to diagnose and resolve performance bottlenecks.
- Drive continuous performance improvements through rigorous testing and iterative optimization strategies.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Work closely with hardware architects, compiler teams, and application developers to ensure seamless integration of kernel components with higher-level systems.
- Innovation & Continuous Learning:
- Stay current on emerging trends in AI operator development, and specialized ISA optimizations.
- Champion a culture of innovation by proposing and implementing forward-thinking solutions that drive our technology forward.
What We’re Looking For:
- Educational Background:
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field; a Ph.D. is a strong plus.
- Proven Expertise:
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in kernel or low-level systems software development, with demonstrable contributions to production-quality code.
- Experience with AI/ML operator development or specialized compiler optimizations.
- Exposure to hardware/software co-design and emerging trends in AI hardware acceleration.
- Deep knowledge of OS internals, memory management, process scheduling, and performance tuning.
- Expertise in system-level programming using C/C++ and proficiency in assembly language for specialized ISA implementations.
- Strong familiarity with kernel debugging and profiling tools (e.g., GDB, Gprof, or equivalent).
- Track record of optimizing software performance in complex, high-performance computing environments.
