As a Kernel Engineer at , you will develop high-performance software at the intersection of hardware and software for cutting-edge artificial intelligence and high-performance computing workloads.
You will help implement, optimize, and validate machine learning and linear algebra operations for the Wafer-Scale Engine, our custom massively parallel processor architecture. Working alongside experienced kernel, compiler, performance, and hardware engineers, you will learn how algorithms are mapped to specialized hardware and contribute to software that maximizes compute utilization and system performance.
You will be part of a team responsible for the design, development, performance tuning, and validation of foundational ML and HPC kernels. This is an excellent opportunity for a new graduate who is interested in computer architecture, parallel programming, low-level software, and machine learning systems.
Help design and implement machine learning and linear algebra kernels for the Wafer-Scale Engine.
Develop and debug high-performance kernel routines using low-level programming techniques and the Software Language, a custom C-like language.
Apply parallel programming algorithms to map computational workloads efficiently onto the architecture.
Use mathematical analysis, performance data, and profiling tools to evaluate kernel behavior and inform design decisions.
Identify and investigate correctness, performance, and hardware utilization issues.
Develop unit tests and system-level validation methodologies to verify the functionality and performance of kernel libraries.
Collaborate with kernel, compiler, performance, and hardware engineers to improve software and system performance.
Study emerging machine learning workloads and contribute to the evolution of the kernel library.
Participate in code reviews, technical discussions, and software development processes.
Build an understanding of the architecture, instruction set, memory system, and communication model.

Требования
