Senior Staff ML Compiler and Performance Engineer

Senior Staff Compiler Engineer
Canada - Remote

We are partnered with a global leader in the semiconductor industry, assisting in the search for a Senior-Staff level compiler optimization engineer to join their growing AI/ML R&D team.

General Summary:

Today, more intelligence is moving to end devices, and mobile is becoming the pervasive AI platform. Building on the smartphone foundation and the scale of mobile, We envision making AI ubiquitous - expanding beyond mobile and powering other end devices, machines, vehicles, and things.

We are inventing, developing, and commercializing power-efficient on-device AI, edge cloud AI, and 5G to make this a reality.

Job Purpose & Responsibilities

As a member of the ML Systems Team, you will participate in two activities:

• Development and evolution of ML/AI compilers (production and exploratory versions) for efficient mappings of ML/AI algorithms on existing and future HW
• Analysis of ML/AI algorithms and workloads to drive future features in Qualcomm’s ML HW/SW offerings

Key Responsibilities:

• Contributing to the development and evolution of ML/AI compilers 
• Defining and implementing algorithms for mapping ML/AI workloads to Qualcomm HW
• Understanding trends in ML network design, through customer engagements and latest academic research, and how this affects both SW and HW design
• Creation of performance-driven simulation components (using C++, Python) for analysis and design of high-performance HW/SW algorithms on future SoCs
• Exploration and analysis of performance/area/power trade-offs for future HW and SW ML algorithms
• Pre-Silicon prediction of performance for various ML algorithms
• Running, debugging and analyzing performance simulations to suggest enhancements to hardware and software to tackle compute and system memory-related bottlenecks

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, or related field and 4+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.

Requirements:

• Demonstrated ability to learn, think and adapt in fast-changing environments
• Detail-oriented with strong problem-solving, analytical and debugging skills
• Strong communication skills (written and verbal)
• Strong background in algorithm development and performance analysis is essential

The following experiences would be significant assets:

• Strong object-oriented design principles
• Strong knowledge of C++
• Strong knowledge of Python
• Experience in compiler design and development
• Knowledge of network model formats/platforms (eg. Pytorch, Tensorflow, ONNX) is an asset.
• On-silicon debug skills of high-performance compute algorithms · Knowledge of algorithms and data structures
• Knowledge of software development processes (revision control, CD/CI, etc.) · Familiarity with tools such as git, Jenkins, Docker, clang/MSVC
• Knowledge of computer architecture, digital circuits and event-driven transactional models/simulators
