About the Role

EnCharge AI is looking for an experienced AI Research Engineer to optimize deep learning models for deployment on edge AI platforms. You will work on model compression, quantization strategies, and efficient inference techniques to improve the performance of AI workloads.

Responsibilities

Research and develop quantization-aware training (QAT) and post-training quantization (PTQ) techniques for deep learning models.

Implement low-bit precision optimizations (e.g., INT8, BF16).

Design and optimize efficient inference algorithms for AI workloads, focusing on latency, memory footprint, and power efficiency.

Work with frameworks such as PyTorch, ONNX Runtime, and TVM to deploy optimized models.

Analyze accuracy trade-offs and develop calibration techniques to mitigate precision loss in quantized models.

Collaborate with hardware engineers to optimize model execution for edge devices, and NPUs.

Contribute to research on knowledge distillation, sparsity, pruning, and model compression techniques.

Benchmark performance across different hardware and software stacks.

Stay updated with the latest advancements in AI efficiency, model compression, and hardware acceleration.

Qualifications

Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.

Strong expertise in deep learning, model optimization, and numerical precision analysis.

Hands-on experience with model quantization techniques (QAT, PTQ, mixed precision).

Proficiency in Python, C++, CUDA, or OpenCL for performance optimization.

Experience with AI frameworks: PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX Runtime, TVM, TensorRT, or OpenVINO.

Understanding of low-level hardware acceleration (e.g., SIMD, AVX, Tensor Cores, VNNI).

Familiarity with compiler optimizations for ML workloads (e.g., XLA, MLIR, LLVM).

EnchargeAI is an equal employment opportunity employer in the United States.

The salary range for this position is $180,000 to $240,000 USD per year. (Per Year: $175,000 to $245,000 CAD | €116,000 to €154,000 EUR)
Actual compensation offered will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
