🚀 ML Research Scientist

About the Role

As an ML Engineer at SEMRON, you will be responsible for developing the training infrastructure that enables models to run efficiently on our novel analog in-memory compute platform. A core part of this work is designing a geo-distributed Quantization-Aware Training (QAT) framework that allows the machine learning community to collectively contribute compute resources, enabling them to quantize their favorite models and make them compatible with SEMRON’s hardware.

What you will do:

• Design and implement a geo-distributed QAT system for preparing models for analog inference
• Build collaborative training and tooling infrastructure that allows users to contribute GPUs and quantize models together
• Translate new quantization and analog-aware training methods into robust engineering components
• Collaborate with researchers to integrate their algorithms into a production-grade pipeline

What you should bring in:

• A Master’s degree, PhD, or a personal project or open-source contribution thatclearly demonstrates strong engineering skills and a solid understanding of ML tooling
• Fluency in Python and PyTorch
• Understanding oftraining workflows and practical experience with model optimization
• Ability to architect and maintain scalable systems, with clean code and clear interfaces
• A collaborative mindset and comfort working across software, research, and hardware domains

Helpful but not required:

• Prior experience with QAT or other model compression techniques
• Familiarity with projects likeDiLoCo, SWARM , or other decentralized or peer-to-peer learning systems
• Background in compiler stacks , graph transformations , or model deployment tooling
• Contributions to open-source ML infrastructure or research software
