SMTS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER- GPU KERNEL DEVELOPMENT



THE ROLE:



As a core member of the team, you will play a pivotal role in optimizing and developing deep learning frameworks for AMD GPUs. Your strong experience will be critical in enhancing GPU kernels, deep learning models, and training/inference performance across multi-GPU and multi-node systems. You will engage with both internal GPU library teams and open-source maintainers to ensure seamless integration of optimizations, utilizing cutting-edge compiler technologies and advanced engineering principles to drive continuous improvement.



THE PERSON:



Highly skilled engineer with strong technical and analytical expertise in C++ development within Linux environments. The ideal candidate will thrive in both collaborative team settings and independent work, with the ability to define goals, manage development efforts, and deliver high-quality solutions. Strong problem-solving skills, a proactive approach, and a keen understanding of software engineering best practices are essential.



KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Optimize Deep Learning Frameworks: Enhance and optimize frameworks like TensorFlow and PyTorch for AMD GPUs in open-source repositories.
• Develop GPU Kernels: Create and optimize GPU kernels to maximize performance for specific AI operations.
• Develop & Optimize Models: Design and optimize deep learning models specifically for AMD GPU performance.
• Collaborate with GPU Library Teams: Work closely with internal teams to analyze and improve training and inference performance on AMD GPUs.
• Collaborate with Open-Source Maintainers: Engage with framework maintainers to ensure code changes are aligned with requirements and integrated upstream.
• Work in Distributed Computing Environments: Optimize deep learning performance on both scale-up (multi-GPU) and scale-out (multi-node) systems.
• Utilize Cutting-Edge Compiler Tech: Leverage advanced compiler technologies to improve deep learning performance.
• Optimize Deep Learning Pipeline: Enhance the full pipeline, including integrating graph compilers.
• Software Engineering Best Practices: Apply sound engineering principles to ensure robust, maintainable solutions.
• Mentor and Guide: Provide mentorship to junior team members, fostering growth and collaboration through code reviews, knowledge sharing, and technical guidance.
  
  
  

• GPU Kernel Development & Optimization: Strong experience in designing and optimizing GPU kernels for deep learning on AMD GPUs using HIP, CUDA, and assembly (ASM). Strong knowledge of AMD architectures (GCN, RDNA) and low-level programming to maximize performance for AI operations, leveraging tools like Compute Kernel (CK), CUTLASS, and Triton for multi-GPU and multi-platform performance.
• Deep Learning Integration: Strong experience in integrating optimized GPU performance into machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) to accelerate model training and inference, with a focus on scaling and throughput.
• Software Engineering: Expert skills in Python and C++, with experience in debugging, performance tuning, and test design to ensure high-quality, maintainable software solutions.
• High-Performance Computing: Strong experience in running large-scale workloads on heterogeneous compute clusters, optimizing for efficiency and scalability.
• Compiler Optimization: Sound understanding of compiler theory and tools like LLVM and ROCm for kernel and system performance optimization.
  
  
  

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional experience in technical software development, with a focus on GPU optimization, performance engineering, and framework development.
