Meet the Team:

The mission of the Acceleration Team is to deploy trained Machine Learning Models on embedded hardware. This includes developing custom CUDA layers (usually guided by reference designs in Python) and implementing pre- and post-processing modules that convert raw data into model inputs and convert model outputs to usable signals. A major focus of the team is minimizing model inference latency by iteratively profiling and hand-tuning GPU kernels and C code.

What you'll do:


  • Develop modern C and CUDA code for AI inference, including data processing algorithms and custom neural network layers
  • Optimize C and CUDA code guided by timing measurements and profiling to minimize processing latency
  • Utilize existing third-party and internal frameworks, libraries and tools
  • Work closely with other engineers and domain experts in a collaborative environment
  • Write functional and performance tests and documentation
  • Deliver high-quality, unit-tested, production code suitable for deployment in embedded, safety-critical environments


What you’ll need to succeed:


  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer, Electrical, or Software engineering, or advanced degree
  • Deep understanding of memory management in C , error handling, compilers and debuggers on Linux
  • Understanding of mechanisms of calling C/C functions from Python
  • Understanding of neural networks and machine learning
  • Strong math skills including linear algebra
  • Strong written and verbal technical communication skills
  • Positive, team player mindset
