Accelerator Compiler and Tool Chain Lead
You will lead the compiler and model-lowering stack for an AI accelerator. You will own model ingestion, graph lowering, compiler IR, optimization passes, quantization integration, code generation, diagnostics, verification, and regression strategy while leading a compiler and ML systems engineering team.
Responsibilities
- Lead architecture and development of the AI accelerator compiler stack
- Own model ingestion and graph lowering from ML frameworks and exchange formats
- Define operator coverage, lowering rules, graph transformations, fusion, partitioning, and fallback behavior
- Develop compiler optimization passes for tensor layout, tiling, memory movement, mixed precision, operator fusion, and hardware scheduling
- Define executable artifact formats, metadata, memory planning requirements, profiling hooks, and runtime constraints
- Integrate quantization compilation
- Build compiler diagnostics for unsupported operators, shape constraints, graph rewrites, quantization issues, and performance bottlenecks
- Establish compiler verification and regression strategies
- Hire, mentor, and lead compiler and ML systems engineers
Requirements
- Deep experience with compiler development, ML graph compilers, or accelerator code generation
- Strong understanding of ML model formats, graph IRs, operator lowering, tensor layouts, quantization, and runtime/compiler interfaces
- Strong C++ and Python programming skills
- Experience with MLIR, LLVM, TVM, XLA, IREE, Glow, TensorRT-like systems, OpenVINO-like systems, or equivalent
- Understanding of correctness risks in compiler optimizations, graph rewrites, mixed precision, operator fusion, and hardware-specific lowering
- Ability to collaborate with hardware, firmware, runtime, model-integration, and SQA engineers
- Experience leading technical teams or major architecture areas
Benefits
- Performance-based incentives
- Equity participation
- Medical coverage
- Dental coverage
- Vision coverage
- Paid time off
- Flexible work arrangements
