Numerics and Low-Precision Format Engineer

Project

Work done for a product or program.

• Evaluate FP8, FP6, FP4, MX and block-scaled formats on model quality.
• Specify rounding, saturation, accumulation and denormal handling with RTL teams.
• Build bit-accurate reference models used by verification and software.
• Debug numerical mismatches between hardware, compiler and framework paths.
• Document numerical behaviour for kernel and framework developers.

Function

Work that keeps the discipline running: methods, tools, suppliers and people.

• Study training stability under low-precision and stochastic rounding.
• Work on industry format standards such as OCP microscaling.
