ML Compiler Engineer

You will work on a custom ML compiler that transforms modern ML and DSP models into highly efficient programs for our accelerator.

This role spans the full compiler stack-from ingesting models and transforming intermediate representations to optimizing execution under tight memory and latency constraints.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain model ingestion pipelines (e.g., PyTorch / ONNX → internal IR)
• Implement graph transformations such as:
• Operator decomposition and canonicalization
• Shape inference and layout transformations
• Develop and extend intermediate representations (e.g., MLIR)
• Implement optimization passes including:
• Operator fusion and graph partitioning
• Basic scheduling and tiling strategies
• Memory planning and reuse
• Debug correctness and numerical issues across transformations
• Collaborate with hardware and ML teams to improve system performance

Requirements

Required qualifications and experience:

• 2+ years of experience in compilers and/or edge-AI
• Proficiency in Python and/or C++
• Experience with at least one:
• MLIR, LLVM, TVM, XLA, or similar
• Graph-level transformations or ML model internals
• Understanding of deep learning models (conv, sequence models, etc.)
• Ability to reason about correctness and performance tradeoffs

Nice to have:

• Experience with optimization techniques (tiling, scheduling, memory reuse)
• Familiarity with ONNX or PyTorch internals
• Exposure to quantization or low-precision computation
• Interest in hardware-aware ML systems

Benefits

• 401(k)
• Medical insurance
• Vision insurance
• Dental insurance
• Commuter benefits
• Disability insurance
• Paid maternity leave
• Paid paternity leave
• Child care support
