Senior Machine Learning Engineer, LLM

We are now looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer (LLM)! NVIDIA is seeking machine learning engineers that make LLMs faster and slimmer while minimizing training friction. You can (1) distill LLM research literature into its core, (2) run experiments at scale, (3) generate insights to support or refute the efficacy of a technique, and (4) generate reproducible training recipes.Our mission is to create new value for NVIDIA's largest customers. We support this mission by building robust, reproducible, and friction-free training recipes that make compression-aware training and inference seamless. We own the top of the stack, and our largest customers directly interact with the artifacts that you will build.What you'll be doing:Keep abreast on research in LLM compression algorithmsDesign, implement, and evaluate LLM compression algorithms that minimize regressions, reduce training friction, and improve performanceRun ablation experiments to understand the Pareto-frontierBuild robust, reproducible, and portable training recipesWork with production SW teams to realize recipes in production workflowsWhat we need to see:M.S. degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science or a related field, and/or proven track record. PhD preferred6+ years of relevant work experienceStrong programming skills and ability to debug ML systemsExperience with PyTorchProficient in the math of machine learningStrong written and oral communication skillsWays to stand out from the crowd:Background with mixed-precision training flowsExperience working in Efficient LLMsExperience with performance optimization of training and inference systemsGPU computing is the most productive and pervasive platform for deep learning and AI. It begins with the most advanced GPUs and the systems and software we build on top of them. We integrate and optimize every deep learning framework. We work with the major systems companies and every major cloud service provider to make GPUs available in data centers and in the cloud. We craft computers and software to bring AI to edge devices, such as self-driving cars and autonomous robots. AI has the potential to spur a wave of social progress unmatched since the industrial revolution.NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most experienced and hard-working people in the world working for us. Are you creative and collaborative? Do you love the challenge of defining and leading an industry?
