We are looking for an experienced Kernel Engineer. The objective of the role is to build efficient implementations of real-world neural nets kernels specialized for our unique architecture, including implementation of other algorithms like beam search, and designing layers to maximize layer-to-layer and IO throughput. The successful candidate will build a deep understanding of the capabilities, limitations and details of our architecture and work closely with our architects and compiler engineers.
Requirements & Responsibilities
- Computer Science, Engineering, Math, Physics or related degree, preferably MS or PhD
- Demonstrated ability to work independently through challenging but tightly constrained problems
- Interest and ability to work with both high level conceptual and very low-level technical details
- Interest in problem-solving within highly structured and tightly constrained environments
- Design and prototype low-level implementation strategies for various neural net operations
- Communicate optimization ideas both to compiler engineers and to architects working on future product generations
- Design multi-chip neural net inference strategies
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Python experience
- Assembly language development experience
- CUDA or other low-level GPU or AI accelerator programming experience
- Knowledge of AI algorithms
- Strong mathematical skills
- Enjoy solving very complex problems (like doing IQ tests, solving tricky math problems)
