Job Description

Requirements

Synopsys’ Generative AI Center of Excellence defines the technology strategy to advance applications of Generative AI across the company. The GenAI COE pioneers the core technologies – platforms, processes, data, and foundation models – to enable generative AI solutions, and partners with business groups and corporate functions to advance AI-focused roadmaps.

As an ML Engineer in Gen-AI, you will innovate and translate cutting edge research into user experiences on questions like the following:

• How to prompt an LLM like Llama-2, GPT-4, etc. effectively?
• How to build a foundation model for a specific domain like EDA?
• How to blend prompt engineering, retrieval augmentation, and fine-tuning to customize models with the least human time and effort?

Duties

• Design and implement machine learning models and algorithms for Generative AI and Deep Learning applications.
• Conduct experiments to evaluate model performance, identify areas for improvement, and implement optimizations.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to design and develop scalable solutions that meet business goals.
• Stay up to date with the latest research and advancements in the field of Generative AI and Deep Learning and apply this knowledge to improve our models and algorithms.
• Communicate complex technical concepts and findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and deployment of machine learning models and algorithms.

Required Qualifications

• BS with 5+ years’ experience or MS degree with 1+ years’ experience in computer science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or related field.
• A Ph.D. in machine learning or a related area with good publication history would be a good fit for this position. We would also love to hear from people with similar skill sets acquired through other career paths.
• 2-5 years of experience in machine learning engineering, with a focus on AI/ML and Deep Learning.
• Proven familiarity with python, and excellent background in data structures and algorithms.
• Good expertise of Probability and Statistics concepts, including Probability, Conditional Probability, Bayes Theorem, Normal Distribution, and Central Limit Theorem.
• Sound knowledge of Linear Algebra and Calculus concepts
• Sound knowledge of deep learning architectures like Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Long-Short-Term-Memory models (LSTMs), and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).
• Experience with deep learning frameworks like Tensorflow or PyTorch.
• Experience with LLMs, Encoder-Decoder Models, and other Generative AI techniques.
• Experience with Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Text Generation using Deep Learning.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work autonomously as well as collaboratively in a team environment.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Good expertise with hands-on experience in data cleansing and modeling for deep learning models in at least one domain (language, image, graphs, etc.)
• Experience with cloud-based machine learning platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven publication record in top-tier conferences and journals in the field of Machine Learning or NLP or Generative AI.
• Experience with standard machine learning frameworks and tools (Huggingface Transformers, NumPy, Scikit-learn, Pandas, PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.) and machine learning cloud infrastructure and accelerators (AWS, Google Cloud, GPUs and TPUs).
• Familiarity with supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms like linear regression, logistic regression, random forests, and k-means.
• Prior exposure to AI/ML workflows and tools
• Knowledge and/or exposure to cloud computing technologies like containerization platforms (Docker, Kubernetes, microservices)
• Broad expertise and understanding of AI, NLP, LLM, and generative AI trends.
• Proficiency in advanced concepts and techniques like Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) and RLHF for building generative models is a big plus
• Experience prototyping, experimenting, and testing with large datasets and training models.

Education

• BS in EE or CS with 5+ years of relevant experience.
• MS in EE or CS with 1+ years of relevant experience.
• PhD in EE or CS with published academic papers and/or relevant experience.
