Senior AI Algorithm Engineer in oneDNN

The Software and AI (SAI) organization is seeking a highly skilled Software Development Engineer to contribute to the development and optimization of oneDNN, a complex, cross-platform, open-source performance library for deep learning applications ( https://github.com/uxlfoundation/oneDNN ).

oneDNN is a critical and highly visible component of Intel's AI strategy, powering industry-leading frameworks such as OpenVINO, TensorFlow, PyTorch, ONNX Runtime, and many others.

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of AI algorithms, low-level performance engineering, and cutting-edge Intel hardware, enabling state-of-the-art neural network performance across CPUs, integrated graphics, and discrete GPUs.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize new features and algorithms for oneDNN targeting Intel processors, Intel Processor Graphics, and Intel discrete GPUs.
• Perform performance analysis and optimization to achieve best-in-class deep-learning inference and training throughput on current and next-generation Intel platforms.
• Develop hardware-specific parallel algorithms, including multithreading, vectorization, and memory-layout optimizations.
• Contribute to assembly-level programming and low-level performance tuning for Intel microarchitectures.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across software engineering, architecture, and AI performance to ensure strong integration with Intel's broader AI ecosystem.
• Engage with the open-source community, participate in code reviews, and maintain high-quality coding and documentation standards., This role will be eligible for our hybrid work model which allows employees to split their time between working on-site at their assigned Intel site and off-site. * Job posting details (such as work model, location or time type) are subject to change.

Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates., * BSc, MSc or PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or in a related field

• 5+ years of experience in the following areas:
• C++ Algorithms and data structures, or Mathematical background
• Low-level Performance Optimizations, preferably on GPUs, * 3 years+ High-performance computing (HPC) applications development
• 1 year+ Machine learning and deep learning algorithms
• 1 year+ Agile software development environment
• 1 year+ Intel development tools.
• Software libraries design and architecture
• Background in Linear algebra solvers, matrix-vector operations, or Fast Fourier Transforms
• Software development on Linux
• GPU optimizations (OpenCL, CUDA, SYCL/DPC++, C for Metal or similar)
• Parallel programming (OpenMP, TBB, or MPI)

Why Join Us

• Work on a global, high-impact open-source AI project used across leading deep-learning frameworks.
