Embedded Software Development Engineer, Machine Learning Accelerators
Do you love writing firmware or optimizing signal processing algorithms? Are you a software engineer at heart, but you enjoy working with embedded microcontrollers, SOCS's or dabbled in RTL development? Have you heard about machine learning and want to get your hands dirty? Are you an ML kernel developer who wants to make a big impact by getting closer to the hardware? If any of those are true, awesome - this is the role for you. Come join us! Custom Amazon designed silicon chips live at the heart of AWS Machine Learning servers, enabling faster, more capable, and more accurate machine learning for our customers. We’re looking for skilled software engineers to scale the team that develops the embedded software stack critical to the functionality of these bleeding-edge system-on-chips (SoCs). Your software will directly drive the execution and management of hardware accelerated neural network models deep within the SOC's Neuron Cores. You'll also work closely with our architecture and design teams to drive hardware/software co-design, developing both firmware and custom hardware that enables ML within our accelerator chips. Our team's charter is to make deep learning pervasive for everyday software developers and to democratize access to industry leading infrastructure - you'll be enabling that vision from the ground up. This is a fast-paced, challenging position, where you'll work with thought-leaders in multiple technology areas. You'll have high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you'll be constantly looking for ways to improve our products' performance, quality, and cost. We're searching for individuals who want to reach beyond what is possible today and change an industry. You'll learn about the inner workings of ML and our accelerators as part of your onboarding, so no prior ML knowledge is required for this role, but any ML background you have will be helpful. Key job responsibilities
