Research Engineer - Heterogenous Computing Systems

• Define and develop programming models that both hide and leverage heterogeneous system components, such as accelerators (GPUs, NPU, FPGAs, modern accelerators), memories (HBM, FAM, etc.), and interconnects (CXL, Slingshot, Infiniband, RDMA, etc.)
  
• Design, adapt, and implement software frameworks and runtime systems software to support applications at the confluence of HPC, AI, and data analytics
  
• Combine advanced software engineering skills with a drive to explore novel approaches to solve important problems in heterogeneous computing at the large scales
  
• Software and hardware co-design to optimize AI/ML workload performance using heterogeneous AI accelerators and to increase accelerator device utilizations, including profiling, analyzing, tuning, and optimization on GPU
  
• Design, implement and assess application programming APIs and runtime systems software for future architectures to support the creation of new products, open source software and intellectual property, including performance evaluation, prediction, modeling, and simulation of future computing architectures. And resource allocation and management, scheduling, fault resilience, coordination and other system services in heterogeneous computing environment
• Write and submit patentable inventions
