Ascend NPU systems engineering drives Huawei Canada’s foundation-model performance through AscendC kernels and distributed scaling. This is a permanent senior engineering opportunity.

As a Senior System Engineer, you will develop compute operators and optimize pre-training and post-training workloads. The work spans AscendC, Triton, TileLang, MindSpeed, and upstream frameworks. You will improve training efficiency across Ascend NPU clusters through profiling, parallelism, and numerical alignment.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design and tune FlashAttention, GEMM, RMSNorm, and MoE operators
- Optimize MindSpeed and distributed foundation-model training pipelines
- Tune TP, PP, CP, EP, ZeRO, and FSDP parallelism
- Profile Ascend hardware and reduce compute-communication overhead




- Contribute operators and acceleration features to open-source projects

Requirements:

- Technical degree and three-plus years of relevant experience
- AscendC or CUDA C/C++ operator-development experience
- Distributed framework experience with MindSpeed, Megatron, FSDP, veRL, or vLLM
- Strong C/C++ and contemporary Python programming proficiency
- Experience with Ascend Profiler, PyTorch Profiler, or Nsight

Apply systems expertise in AscendC, distributed training, profiling, and low-precision computing to Huawei Canada’s accelerator platforms.
