Senior Principal DSP Engineer, Machine Learning – A004286

Location: Campbell, CA, USA

Job Type: Full Time Employee

Career Level: Experienced

Primary Responsibilities

Development of Fixed Point Models of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) using MATLAB and C/C++. Perform fixed point training and inferencing; compare accuracy of fixed point training and inferencing against their floating-point counterparts. Explore and develop techniques for accelerating training for a variety of fixed point DNN models, while maintaining numerical stability that lead to convergence. Benchmark performance and compare against other platforms from the competitors. Understand and master the tradeoffs between computation and storage requirements as it relates to the requirements for shrinking model sizes for Inference type applications. Explore and implement methods for efficient Transfer Learning.

Required Skills and Experiences
