The “Integrated and Wireless Systems” Business Unit, based in Neuchâtel, Switzerland is looking for a Phd or Post-Doc in AI deployment on Resource Constrained Training. (RCT)

 

Your mission

Join our dynamic team of experienced and emerging AI engineers in the role of a PhD/Postdoc position in training neural network on a resource constrained hardware. Collaborate with leading universities such as EPFL or ETH Zurich to develop a groundbreaking thesis/research work, driving innovation and advancing the state-of-the-art in deep learning method deployed on the extreme edge. Be a part of our group's mission to pave the way for industry technology transfer while actively contributing to our research and development initiatives. Join us in shaping the future of AI. 

 

Your responsibilities

• Development of algorithms that are more suited for on-chip training, which includes simplifying backpropagation and other complex training algorithms.
• Preferred focus on recurrent networks.
• Enables state of art approaches overcoming memory transfer bandwidth.
• Work on algorithms that can be efficiently executed on limited-resource environments.
• Model Compression and Simplification :
  • Techniques like quantization, which reduces the precision of the numbers used in the model, and pruning, which removes redundant or non-critical parts of a model.
  • Development of compact neural network architectures that require less computational power for training and inference.
• Innovation and Research: conduct in-depth research to advance the state-of-the-art in embedded training, exploring novel approaches and solutions.
• Industry Technology Transfer: Work on projects with the primary goal of transferring developed technologies and innovations to the industry, bridging the gap between academia and practical applications.
• Collaborate across multi-disciplinary fields specifically S/W & H/W.
• Team Collaboration: actively engage with our team, sharing insights and contributing to group research and development activities related to Edge AI.
• Continuous Learning: stay up to date with the latest advancements on field of on chip learning by attending relevant conferences, workshops, and seminars to enhance knowledge and skills in the field.
• Publication: disseminate research findings by publishing in top-tier academic journals and presenting work at prestigious conferences, contributing to the field's knowledge and recognition.

 

Your profile

Know-how

• PhD/master’s in computer science, Electrical Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related field.
• Strong background in machine learning algorithms and deep learning, particularly in backpropagation and training techniques.
• Experience in QAT and post-training quantization
• Experience in benchmarking metrics for quantization underflow is highly desirable.
• Experience with on-chip or embedded systems training is highly desirable.
