Software Engineer, ML Infra, Dojo

As a ML Software Engineer within Dojo, you will play a crucial role in bridging the gap between our cutting-edge Dojo training accelerator and the neural networks developed by our Autopilot ML team. Collaborate closely with world-class ML Researchers, Compiler and Hardware Engineers to tackle unique challenges at the intersection of AI and ML training accelerators. Your expertise will be instrumental in optimizing and scaling our neural network training infrastructure.

Responsibilities

• Work with machine learning Researchers and Engineers to run FSD models on our in-house ML training accelerator
• Profile performance of training workloads in our cluster, identify bottlenecks in and between CPU/Dojo code execution, and work on optimizing its throughput and scalability within and across nodes to ultimately reduce convergence time
• Coordinate with the team managing the hardware cluster to maintain high availability / jobs throughput for Machine Learning
• Integrate the training software into our continuous integration cluster to support metrics persistence across experiments, weekly/nightly neural network builds, and other unit / throughput tests

Requirements

• Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent in experience and evidence of exceptional ability
• Practical experience programming in Python and/or C++
• Experience working with training frameworks, ideally PyTorch
