    • Research state of the art model compression and efficient model design techniques and enable the team to leverage these across a wide range of customer facing features. 
    • Collaborate with the low-level software and hardware architecture teams to characterize the in-house ML models on our embedded platforms and optimize the models subject to the on device compute and memory constrains. 

    Qualifications

    • MS. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
    • Good understanding of the fundamentals of deep learning, heterogenous computing,  ML accelerators and compilers with 3+ years of industrial experience.

    • Research and development experience in the following areas:
      • model compression and neural architecture search techniques
      • knowledge distillation, pruning, quantization and quantization aware training
      • optimizing and deploying inference on various embedded processors
    • Experience defining compute architecture for efficient Deep learning inferencing.
    • Capability to understand hardware spec documents and performance profiling tools.
    • Strong Python programming background and in-depth knowledge of at least one framework amongst PyTorch, TensorFlow or MXNet
    • Experience implementing inference logic from first principles using low level subroutines like BLAS, CUDA Kernels or C++ natively.
    • Familiarity with ONNX runtimes and DL compilers like XLA or Glow.
