WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world. Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences - the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded. Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world's most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. AMD together we advance_ THE ROLE: We are looking for a talented Machine Learning (ML) Compiler SW Engineer to join our growing team in the AI group and play a crucial role in developing SW toolset to deploy cutting-edge ML models on AMD's Neural Processing Units (NPU). You will be responsible for designing, and implementing compiler optimization passes that translate Gen-AI ML inference models like SDXL-Turbo, Llama2, Mistral, etc. into low-level code for compute and dataflow on NPUs. Your work will directly impact the efficiency, scalability, and performance of our ML applications. THE PERSON: If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and love working on cutting edge machine learning inference, this role is for you. RESPONSIBILITIES: Design and develop novel algorithms for tiling and mapping quantized ML workloads on application specific hardware platforms. Analyze and transform intermediate representations of ML models (computational graphs) for efficient execution. Collaborate with Architecture and runtime software teams to develop optimization strategies for the compiler. Implement loop tiling, and buffer allocation strategies for efficient compute and DRAM access. Develop back-end optimization passes to convert high-level representation into driver calls for different NPU generations. Testing and validation of optimized kernels and dataflow graphs using performance models. Develop and maintain unit tests and integration tests for the compiler to support different generations of HW architectures. Enable detailed profiling and debugging tools for analyzing performance bottlenecks and deadlocks in the dataflow schemes. Stay up-to-date on the latest advancements in ML compiler technology and hardware architectures. PREFERRED EXPERIENCES : Strong understanding of ML compiler optimizations (front-end, middle-end, back-end). Experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch). Experience working with on GPUs, TPUs, NPUs, or vector processors is a must. Experience with ML models such as CNN, LSTM, LLMs. Excellent programming skills in Python, C++, or similar languages. A passion for innovation and a strong desire to push the boundaries of machine learning performance. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Master's degree or PhD. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or Bachelor's degree with significant experience). #LI-RF1 #LI-HYBRID At AMD, your base pay is one part of your total rewards package. Your base pay will depend on where your skills, qualifications, experience, and location fit into the hiring range for the position.
