Machine Learning Compiler Engineer

Company: Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Machine Learning Engineering

General Summary:

If you’re interested in advancing and applying mathematics, programming languages theory, and advanced algorithms to program optimization for cutting-edge machine learning accelerators, then you really want to be talking to us!

The Compiler Labs unit in Qualcomm AI Software department is looking for ML Compiler engineers to join our team. We work tactically on improving existing ML compilers and strategically on developing new and innovative ML compilers.

Our technical approach to compilers emphasizes powerful representations for precisely and compactly modeling programs and the optimization challenges and using advanced mathematics and algorithms for performing optimizations.

We are also solid in using “old school” compiler technologies as they apply to contemporary ML challenges, and in meticulous software engineering to produce beautiful compilers. We are also keen about seeing our compilers used and having large impacts on Qualcomm’s business.

Mapping ML algorithms to ML accelerators is currently one of the most interesting and challenging problems for compilers. Our compiler targets include the Qualcomm Neural Signal Processor, Adreno GPUs, low-power ML accelerators, and CPU accelerators.

This job description spans multiple levels, from entry to experienced. Our team is a good home for compiler developers with advanced degrees, and we have solid mentoring and give substantial responsibility quickly for entry level engineers.
