  • An understanding of user facing microprocessor development tools, compilers, linkers, debuggers and profilers.
  • Knowledge of accelerated computing software architecture for GPUs and other hardware accelerator architectures and the associated software ecosystems for applications.
  • Experience with AI/ML applications and there mapping to GPU / hardware accelerator platforms and the associated software ecosystems for applications
  • Understanding of graphics application APIs and the software ecosystems that support them across both desktop and mobile platforms.
  • A technical background in AI/ML software infrastructure across data centre, automotive and embedded devices, with particular focus on inference application deployment and optimization.
  • A technical background in system level software for interfacing hardware such as GPUs to CPU platforms covering drivers and low-level user / kernel space interactions around application performance.
  • A solid understanding of computer architecture covering both instruction level application mapping and system level understanding of memory and communication interfaces and how they impact software.
  • Experience of working directly with senior technical stakeholders at customers and mapping their requirements and requests back into product roadmap items.
  • Experience of heading up technical engineering groups and managing team growth, organisation, and direction
  • Understanding of technical product requirements and working with high level strategic product roadmaps to map them into actionable engineering tasks.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities along with the ability to break down and solve problems and complex situations which lack existing solutions.
  • Experience of architecting software products spanning multiple development teams and enabling iterative development.

You might also have:

  • Any development experience using AI/ML framework is added advantage.
  • Deep understanding of the workflow for training and deploying AI/ML applications on GPU platforms.
  • Understanding of GPU architecture for compute and the evolution of GPUs as compute only platforms particularly driven by AI/ML.
  • Experience of working closely with silicon architects and design engineers to improve platforms for software applications.
  • Exposure to Graphics/Display drivers for Android/Linux/Windows operating systems.
  • Experience of optimization and profiling software for graphics/compute applications at both compute kernel and system level.
  • Knowledge of hypervisors and virtual machine interfacing
  • Experience interacting with open source community and external ecosystems.
  • Automotive industry exposure and knowledge of ISO 26262.
  • Experience with deploying hardware products in data-centre environments and the supporting software ecosystem.
  • Understanding of debug and performance analysis hardware in support of application development.
  • Experience with presenting at technical conference and supporting external event and shows.
  • Occasional willingness to travel working onsite to support or train our customers around the world.
  • Experience of hiring world class engineers to grow technical teams.
  • A breadth of software programming experience that spans multiple languages and development platforms.
  • Understanding of the current state of the art for development tools platforms for compilers, debuggers, profilers and IDEs
