Research Scientist, HW/SW Co-Design

Our teams’ mission is to explore, develop and help productionize high performance software & hardware technologies for AI at datacenter scale. We achieve this via concurrent design and optimization of many aspects of the system from models and runtime all the way to the AI hardware, optimizing across compute, network and storage. The team invests significantly into model optimization on existing accelerator systems and guiding the future of models and AI HW at Meta. This drives improved performance, new model architectures and reduces cost of ownership for all key AI services at FB: Recommendations and Generative AI. This is an exciting space that spans exploration and productization, coupled with close collaborations with industry, academia, Meta’s Infrastructure and Product groups. Collaborating closely with product teams, the team's mode of operation is going from ideation and rapid prototyping, all the way to assisting productization of high leverage ideas, working with many partner teams to bring learnings from prototype into production. We are seeking a Research Scientist to join our AI hardware and systems team. You will focus on cutting-edge research and development in low-precision numerical formats and algorithms for accelerating both AI inference and training at scale. This role involves exploring the theoretical underpinnings and practical implementation of novel numerics, quantization schemes, and mixed-precision techniques to push the boundaries of AI efficiency and performance across various hardware platforms.
