Research Engineer, ML Compiler (PhD) - Meta

Summary:

Meta Reality Labs brings together a world-class team of researchers, developers, and engineers to create the future of virtual and augmented reality, which together will become as universal and essential as smartphones and personal computers are today. The compute performance and power efficiency requirements of Virtual and Augmented Reality require custom silicon.In this position, you would support research and development into a compiler tool-chain for state-of-the-art deep learning hardware components optimized for AR/VR systems. You will be part of our efforts to research, architect, design and implement a compiler and runtime stack, which compiles PyTorch models down to binaries for hardware accelerator blocks. You will be part of a team that includes compiler, machine learning algorithms and software, firmware and ASIC experts.
