The role: MLIR Software Engineering Technical Lead

What you will do:

The Compiler Technical Lead role is driving the design and implementation of the MLIRbased compiler framework. In this role, you will be overseeing the development of the compiler that partitions and maps largescale NLP models to our scalable, multichiplet, parallel processing architecture with hundreds of digital inmemory tensor processors, vector processors, data shaping processors and both onchip and offchip memory. The compiler will also coordinate the scheduling of parallel tasks onto the processors, data movements and inter processor synchronization. The manypass compiler architecture requires graph optimization passes, constant folding, data reshaping, padding, tiling and various other backendspecific operations. The software will support a split offlineonline mapping process with justintime mapping to chiplets, processors and DDR memory channels.

This role requires collaborating with the HW and SW architecture team, the Pytorch frontend preprocessing team, the data science numerics team, AI kernel team, SW test group, the benchmark group and the teams developing the various simulator and emulation platforms. It is central to the overall efficiency of the solution. As such, we are seeking an AI compiler expert with experience in the TVM, Glow or preferably, the MLIR project. Also important is familiarity with the LLVM project. Experience mapping graph operations to manycore processors (or spatial fabrics) would be desirable.

This role does NOT require hardware design or verification experience. That said, an understanding of the tradeoffs made by processor architects when implementing accelerators for DNNs, DCNNs, transformer models and attention mechanisms is useful especially when it comes to mapping very large NLP models to such architectures.

What you will bring:

Minimum:

• BS MS Preferred in Computer Science or equivalent with 10+ years in ML Compiler.

• Experience establishing, growing andor developing engineering teams (and software teams in particular).

• Experience with leading agile development methods is preferable including coordinating scrums, managing sprints and project task tracking with Kanban boards or similar.

• Experience running code reviews, bug tracking meetings, familiarity and experience with CICD flows.

• Managing interdependencies with other teams in order to meet milestones and target levels of performance.

• Excellent documentation and presentation skills.

• This role includes technical leadership aspects: specifically the motivation, engagement, goal setting, performance tracking, objective setting and performance management.
