About The Position

Applied Intuition is seeking a software engineer with deep experience in optimizing ML models and deploying them on production-grade embedded runtime environments. The role involves working across the entire ML framework stack (e.g. PyTorch, JAX, ONNX, TensorRT, CUDA, XLA, Triton). The engineer will drive ML performance optimization on multiple technologies for on-road and off-road ADAS / AD stacks targeting deployment on a variety of embedded compute platforms. This includes developing compute usage strategies to optimize efficiency and latency of model inference, working on model pruning and quantization, and supporting deployment on memory constrained platforms. The role also involves collaborating closely with ML engineers and software developers to find and optimize efficient model architecture solutions, and setting up methodologies to profile model performance on target embedded compute platforms to identify performance bottlenecks during stack integration.

Requirements

  • Bachelors in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, OR B.Sc. in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or a related field
  • 3+ years of experience with ML accelerators, GPU, CPU, SoC architecture and micro-architecture
  • Strong software development skills with the focus on embedded programming
  • Experience profiling and optimizing model performance on embedded compute platforms
  • Experience in working with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, JAX, ONNX, etc.)

Nice To Haves

  • M.Sc or PhD in a ML related area
  • Built an ML optimization framework from scratch before
  • Deployed ML solutions to embedded chips for real time robotics applications

Responsibilities
