Responsibilities

THE ROLE:

Do you want to develop fast Fourier transform libraries to enable high performance computing and machine learning workloads at Exascale?  AMD is searching for talented and motivated mathematicians, scientists, and engineers to support rocFFT (https://github.com/ROCm/rocFFT), AMD’s GPU-accelerated, fast Fourier transform library.  The rocFFT library is part of the AMD ROCm™ Open Software Platform for GPU Compute.

 

THE PERSON:

You are to working in a dynamic, geographically distributed agile team, where partnership and collaboration are paramount.  You possess excellent written and verbal communication skills and strong attention to detail.  You are creative, results-oriented, and accustomed to tight deadlines and changing priorities.  Most importantly, you are constantly thinking of ways to improve performance.

 

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Implement and validate GPU-accelerated algorithms for discrete Fourier transforms.
• Benchmark, profile and optimize code to maximize throughput on single-GPU, multi-GPU, and clustered systems.
• Deliver high-quality code and documentation, following best practices for open-source software development.
• Work with key technical experts across AMD and with our partners and customers to improve ROCm applications, libraries, and tools.

 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Understanding of fast Fourier transforms and the numerical methods for their evaluation.
• Experience in HPC applications, machine learning, and cluster computing.
• Strong background developing applications and libraries in C, C++, and Python.
• GPU software development using HIP, CUDA, OpenCL.
• Understanding of CPU and GPU architectures and low-level optimization techniques including assembly programming and/or vectorization.
• Analysis and solution of numerical problems typically found in machine learning and scientific computing applications.
• In-depth knowledge of best practices in software development, including testing, profiling, debugging, documentation, version control, issue tracking, and planning.

 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• B.Sc. or B.Eng. degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent
• Advanced degrees, such as M.Sc., M.Eng., Ph.D. are preferred.
