About the role

We are looking for a software engineer with deep experience in optimizing ML models and deploying them on production-grade embedded runtime environments. You’ll work across the entire ML framework stack (e.g. PyTorch, JAX, ONNX, TensorRT, CUDA, XLA, Triton).

At Applied Intuition, you will:

  • Drive ML performance optimization on multiple technologies for on-road and off-road ADAS / AD stacks targeting deployment on a variety of embedded compute platforms 

  • Develop compute usage strategies to optimize efficiency and latency of model inference for compute boards selected by our customers

  • Work on model pruning and quantization, and support deployment on memory constrained platforms

  • Collaborate closely with ML engineers and software developers on technical efforts to find and optimize efficient model architecture solutions

  • Set up methodologies to profile the model performance on target embedded compute platforms and identify performance bottlenecks as part of stack integration 

We're looking for someone who has:

  • Bachelors in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, OR B.Sc. in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or a related field

  • 3+ years of experience with ML accelerators, GPU, CPU, SoC architecture and micro-architecture

  • Strong software development skills with the focus on embedded programming

  • Experience profiling and optimizing model performance on embedded compute platforms

  • Experience in working with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX, ONNX, etc.)

Nice to have:

  • M.Sc or PhD in a ML related area

  • Built an ML optimization framework from scratch before

  • Deployed ML solutions to embedded chips for real time robotics applications
