AI Frameworks Engineer

Do you have a passion for optimizing cutting-edge datacenter and consumer SW for maximum performance on the latest HW?  We are looking for individuals who are interested in optimizing the world’s leading Machine Learning / Deep Learning frameworks for current and future Intel datacenter/consumer CPUs and GPUs.

The Intel Data Center and AI (DCAI) group creates Intel’s leading data center CPU, GPU, and AI accelerator products.  The AI SW Engineering (AISE) division is at the leading edge of the AI revolution at Intel, covering the AI stack from frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow, to higher level and domain SW like Hugging Face, DeepSpeed, and application reference kits.  It is an organization with a strong technical atmosphere, innovation, friendly team-work spirit, and engineers with diverse technical backgrounds.

Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Conduct, design, and development to build and optimize AI software.
• Design, develop, and optimize for AI frameworks including contributing to external frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Implement various distributed algorithms such as model/data parallel frameworks, and asynchronous data communication in machine learning, and/or deep learning frameworks.
• Transform computational graph representation of neural network model, and profiles distributed deep learning models to identify performance bottlenecks.
• Propose solutions across individual component teams including performance libraries and compilers.
• Optimize for CPU and/or GPU backends and HW features.
• Interact with AI researchers, customers and industry partners.
