Senior Software Engineer - TensorRT Edge-LLM

- Develop and evolve a state-of-the-art inference framework in modern C++ that extends TensorRT with autoregressive model serving capabilities, including speculative decoding, LoRA, MoE, and KV cache management.

- Design and implement compiler and runtime optimizations tailored for transformer-based models running on constrained, real-time platforms.

- Collaborate with teams across CUDA, kernel libraries, compilers, and robotics to deliver high-performance, production-ready solutions.

- Contribute to CUDA kernel and operator development for critical transformer components such as attention, GEMM, and MoE.

- Benchmark, profile, and optimize inference performance across diverse embedded and automotive environments.

- Stay ahead of the rapidly evolving LLM/VLM ecosystem and bring emerging techniques into product-grade software.

- BS, MS, PhD, or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.

- 4+ years of relevant software development experience.

- Deep understanding of transformer models and inference optimization techniques (e.g., quantization, tensor parallelism, or memory-efficient scheduling).

- Proficient programming ability with modern C++ (C++11/14/17 and beyond).

- Familiarity with popular LLM frameworks and libraries such as TensorRT, TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, SGLang, MLC-LLM, or FlashInfer.

- A track record of strong software design, execution, and collaboration across fields.

- Demonstrated development experience or open-source contributions to LLM inference frameworks and libraries, such as SGLang, vLLM, or FlashInfer.

- Proficiency with CUDA, including efficient kernel development, performance profiling, and GPU architecture fundamentals.

- Prior work on autoregressive LLM serving systems, including speculative decoding or KV cache management.

- Familiarity with compiler infrastructure for large language model inference.

- Exposure to robotics or embedded AI pipelines, including optimizing for low-latency, resource-constrained systems.
