About the Role
Own sarvam's Intel surface end-to-end: Intel NPU via OpenVINO (Meteor Lake, Lunar Lake, vPro AI PCs), Intel integrated and discrete GPU via OpenVINO and ONNX Runtime, and x86/AMD64 CPU optimization for fallback paths. You're the technical face to Intel's ecosystem and OpenVINO team.
What You’ll Do
Land Sarvam’s edge models on Intel NPU / dGPU / iGPU inside defined SLAs
Own the OpenVINO build/quantization recipe for the team's models, including the driver-version compatibility matrix
Drive x86 CPU optimization for the universal fallback path - AVX-512, AMX, threading strategy.
Own the Intel device-CI pool and regression detection across OpenVINO upgrades.
What We're Looking For
5+ years on ML deployment with 2+ years on Intel inference stacks.
Production OpenVINO experience including model conversion, accuracy validation post-quantization, and driver-version pinning.
ONNX Runtime EP knowledge - when OpenVINO EP vs. native OpenVINO, when to fall back to CPU EP.
x86 CPU profiling and optimization - VTune, perf, comfort reading hot loops at the assembly level when needed.
AVX-512 or AMX intrinsics is a strong plus, not a must-have.
Bonus Points
Direct prior interaction with the OpenVINO team or Intel ecosystem partners.
Custom OpenVINO operator authoring.
