Summary Posted: Sep 20, 2023 Weekly Hours: 40 Role Number: 200499515 The Machine Intelligence, Neural Design (MIND) team employs HW/SW co-design to achieve best-in-class performance and energy efficiency for numerous use cases that deploy neural networks. We seek a Sr. Software Engineer to help define and implement features that would be realized in next-gen neural accelerators. Our team is comprised of Efficient ML experts with skillsets in HW, SW, and ML. Our charter is to push the frontiers of perf and power for DNNs with minimal memory footprint. As a SWE, you will be responsible for writing high-quality, well-tested code. Our ideal team member is courageous when it comes to trying new things, is adept at reasoning about systems performance, and is willing to iterate on ideas. We value team members with strong communication skills with experience working cross-functionally with HW, SW, and ML teams. Key Qualifications Key Qualifications Proficient in Python, working knowledge of C++ Description Description As a member of this team, you will use your background to: • Implement features in our state-of-the-art simulation engine for next-gen accelerators • Write unit and system integration tests to ensure functional correctness and to reduce performance regressions • Benchmark and diagnose performance bottlenecks of deep learning models • Work with HW Arch teams to co-design solutions that further improve perf and power of neural workloads • Work with a variety of partners from all parts of the stack — from Apps to Compilation, HW Arch, and Silicon Validation Education & Experience Education & Experience Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Computer Science or a related field Additional Requirements Additional Requirements • Strong communicator with ability to analyze complex and ambiguous problems • Disciplined programming skillset with a strong attention to detail • Experience with backend compilation, HW/SW co-design, and/or performance optimization • Deep understanding of computer systems and the interactions between HW and SW • Familiarity with at least one deep learning framework (e.g., PyTorch, Keras, TensorFlow) • Familiarity with ML model compression techniques (e.g., quantization, pruning) and their mapping to microarchitecture • Debugging model conversion from a high-level framework to a target device for correctness and performance issues Pay & Benefits Pay & Benefits At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between $199,800 and $300,200, and your base pay will depend on your skills, qualifications, experience, and location.
