AMD together we advance

THE ROLE :

AMD is looking for a skilled and experienced engineer to join a core team of incredibly talented industry specialists working on developing a cutting-edge machine learning model compiler targeting AMD Inference Accelerator AIE hardware devices.

The compiler needs to take a model written in PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX or JAX and produce optimized control and executable code for AIE VLIW processor array.

Additionally, the compiler needs to handle partitioning between x86 and hardware accelerator, generate optimal code for AMD x86 CPU using AMD ZenDNN, and generate code to interface with AMD AIE specific runtime and driver.

THE PERSON :

The ideal candidate should be passionate about implementing and improving effective algorithms and techniques to create and enhance compiler and runtime for machine learning and possess leadership skills to drive sophisticated issues to resolution.

The candidate should be able to communicate effectively and work optimally with different teams across AMD.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Implement and improve passes in the compiler
• Integrate compiler and compiled model with ML Frameworks (such as PyTorch and Tensorflow)
• Implement model partitioning in ML Frameworks and / or MLIR
• Implement runtime to distribute work to and collect results from x86 cores and the array of AIE cores
• Mentor and provide guidance to others
• Learn latest industry trends and bring new ideas to the team
• Design and develop new groundbreaking AMD technologies
• Debugging / fix existing issues and research alternative, more efficient ways to accomplish the same work
• Develop technical relationships with peers and partners

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE :

• Strong object-oriented programming background, C / C++ and Python
• ML Compiler and Runtime technologies : OneDNN, MLIR, XLA, OpenXLA, IREE, OpenAI Triton compiler
• Compiler building skills
• Code generation for a ML hardware accelerator
• GPU code generation
• Machine Learning concepts and model development experience
• Understanding of PyTorch, Tensorflow, ONNX, JAX etc.
• Ability to write high quality code with a keen attention to detail
• Experience with modern concurrent programming and threading APIs
• Experience with software development processes and tools such as debuggers, source code control systems (GitHub) and profilers is a plus
• Effective communication and problem-solving skills
• Motivating leader with good interpersonal skills

PREFERRED ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS :

Bachelor's, Master's or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
