Detailed JD:==========Job Description: CPU Software & Hardware Co-Design Engineer (ML Systems)Location: Bangalore (or relevant)
Levels: Engineer / Senior Engineer / Staff / Principal Engineer
Role Overview
We are building a high-impact team at the intersection of CPU architecture, machine learning workloads, and system-level performance optimization. This role focuses on CPU software–hardware co-design for next-generation QMX architectures, including workload characterization, simulation, kernel optimization, and driving architectural insights for future CPU designs. The ideal candidate will work across the full stack—from ML models to low-level kernels to architectural feedback—enabling efficient execution of ML workloads on CPU platforms.
Key Responsibilities1. ML Workload Identification & Characterization
- Identify and prioritize critical ML use cases and models for CPU-centric execution (LLMs, vision, speech, recommender systems, etc.)
- Analyze workload characteristics including:
- Compute intensity
- Memory bandwidth and cache behavior
