Do you get excited by working on cutting-edge Computer Vision models to bring Artificial Intelligence applications to the next level? We are expanding our team with a Deep Learning Engineer Dynamic Neural Networks to optimize the latest deep neural networks for our state-of-the-art neural-network accelerator chip. Your work will bridge the gap between various Machine Learning applications (security camera, drone, retail, robotics, etc.)  and deep learning acceleration.

Dynamic Neural Networks aim at making the common (easy input) case fast (efficient), by trying to only enable parts of the neural network that are relevant given the current input data, leaving the rest dormant. This is realized by building decision blocks into the network, which decide to execute or skip certain subsequent layers. The decision blocks are trained together with the network weights. This has the advantage that at run-time the activity (and hence power consumption) is scaled with the complexity of the incoming data, enabling some form of event-driven operation. The result is a faster and more efficient inference of state-of-the-art neural networks

This position will start in October or November 2022.

Your role

Your role will include the following:

• Thoroughly studying various Dynamic Neural Network techniques
• Implementing and training existing Dynamic Neural Network algorithms
• Developing new Dynamic Neural Network algorithms to further accelerate Deep Learning algorithms on our accelerator
• Integrating Dynamic Neural Networks into the compiler flow
• Keeping track of the literature on Dynamic Neural Network
• Collaborating with software developers
• Communicating your results to team members

Your profile

• At least 4 years of experience with Python (Numpy, Scipy)
• At least 3 years of experience with a deep learning framework like Pytorchor Tensorflow 
• Strong understanding of the inner-workings and applications of recent CNNs, MLPs, RNNs and transformers 
• Experience with one or more Dynamic Neural Network techniques
• Preferably experience with Torch FX
• Preferably experience with Neural Network compilers
• Problem-solving mindset, capable of debugging and patching software issues
• Good oral and written communication skills
• Fluent in English, both in speaking and writing
• You are a team player and you are also able to autonomously plan and perform research tasks
• You have a strong sense of responsibility and want to realize high ambitions.
