Manager - Software Engineering Kernels

Location: Bengaluru, India

Department: External - Client Requirement

What you will do:

The role requires you to be part of the team that helps productize the SW stack for our AI compute engine. As part of the software team, you will be responsible for the development, enhancement, and maintenance of software kernels for next-generation AI hardware. You possess experience building software kernels for HW architectures. You possess a very strong understanding of various hardware architectures and how to map algorithms to the architecture. You understand how to map computational graphs generated by AI frameworks to the underlying architecture. You have had past experience working across all aspects of the full stack toolchain and understand the nuances of what it takes to optimize and trade off various aspects of hardware-software co-design. You are able to build and scale software deliverables in a tight development window.
