About the Role


We’re looking for a Machine Learning Research Engineer who thinks crazy ideas are normal, doesn’t take ‘No’ as an answer, and thrives on the bursts of dopamine that come with startup responsibilities.


As a Machine Learning Research Engineer, your ultimate goal will be to build AI systems that deeply understand and innovate within the semiconductor and electronics domains, serving our customers .


You will be responsible for training and fine-tuning large-scale models, including trillion-parameter neural networks, and designing systems that integrate various modalities. Your work will involve creating and optimizing both open-source and proprietary models, developing advanced search and retrieval algorithms, and building AI systems that solve complex reasoning tasks.


Key Responsibilities:


  • Train foundation models from scratch that integrate multiple modalities.
  • Train and fine-tune large language models (LLMs) and multi-modal models (MMMs).
  • Develop and scale trillion-parameter neural networks, along with smaller, specialized models.
  • Design and implement models capable of solving discrete and continuous constraint reasoning tasks and graph-related challenges.
  • Develop and evaluate interconnected systems comprising LLMs, NLP models, and retrieval algorithms.
  • Structure and optimize data for model training, ensuring high performance and efficiency.
  • Create data synthetically and collect it from human interactions for diverse tasks.
  • Build and optimize both open-source and proprietary models, considering various constraints.
  • Design and execute innovative search and retrieval algorithms.
  • Work on building foundation models that drive various products within the electronics and semiconductor sectors.


Required Skillsets:


  • Strong software engineering skills, particularly in Pytorch, Python, CUDA, and Triton.
  • Deep expertise in machine learning, including sequence modeling, generative models, and model architecture.
  • Experience in pre-training and fine-tuning large multi-modal models.
  • Proven track record of publications in top AI conferences and competitions.
  • Experience implementing research papers into production code.
  • Familiarity with the latest state-of-the-art techniques, including prompting and inference-time search methods.
  • Experience in developing and managing large-scale machine learning systems.
  • Proficiency in configuring and optimizing hardware and operating systems for maximum performance.
  • Experience building distributed training systems for AI models in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
