Job description

Overview

AI Software Architect – I am seeking an experienced AI practitioner to lead the architecting and modelling of cutting-edge, ultra-fast and efficient AI Accelerators. You will use your extensive knowledge of AI/ML algorithms to make specific recommendations on software and tools to provision to end users of the AI Accelerators – ensuring ease of use and successful deployment of AI models. For this position, you must work 3 days onsite in Oxfordshire and will be joining a multifaceted team spanning hardware, software, and AI/ML algorithms.

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead the development of software frameworks and libraries optimised for the AI processor architecture, including low-level drivers and runtime environments.
• Work closely with your hardware architect counterpart, you will understand the design and capabilities of the next-gen AI processor architecture, including low-level drivers and runtime environments.
• Lead the development of simulation models of AI Accelerator.
• Analyse the performance of different AI models on the AI Accelerator.

Required Experience

• Degree in a relevant field such as Computer Science, Mathematics, or Electronics.
• Experience relevant tools and libraries for AI model quantization, compression, and optimisation to maximise performance on specialised hardware.
• Strong understanding of hardware-software co-design principles, including memory hierarchy optimisation, cache management, and hardware/software partitioning.
• Knowledge of parallel computing principles and experience with parallel programming models (MPI, OpenMP) for distributed AI processing.
• Deep understanding of AI model architectures, algorithms, and frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and their integration with specialized hardware platforms.
