Senior Machine Learning Engineer - LLM Quantization & Deployment

XPENG

Santa Clara, CA • On-site

Full-time

Posted 20 days ago

Job description

XPENG is a leading smart technology company at the forefront of innovation, integrating advanced AI and autonomous driving technologies into its vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs), electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, and robotics. With a strong focus on intelligent mobility, XPENG is dedicated to reshaping the future of transportation through cutting-edge R&D in AI, machine learning, and smart connectivity.
Our mission is to build strong foundation for LLM deployment and quality sign-off for next-gen XPENG Turing AI chip. This includes and is not limited to: LLM model fine tuning, PTQ, QAT, on-vehicle inference and related fields.
Key Responsibilities
  • Develop VLA inference models, ensure numerical consistency with training models, and productionize LLM quantization methods, including PTQ, QAT, mixed-precision inference, INT8, FP4, and lower-bit techniques.
  • Develop production-quality Python code with strong testing, observability, reproducibility, and failure handling.
  • Build robust model export, calibration, benchmarking, validation, and deployment pipelines.
  • Engage early with the VLA model research team to establish performance estimates and prove model feasibility.
  • Curate evaluation datasets and establish a comprehensive metric suite to systematically benchmark VLA performance.
  • Analyze numerical errors, accuracy regressions, and performance trade-offs.
  • Develop PTQ and QAT orchestration workflows.
  • Serve as the primary interface with field-testing and simulation teams for issue triage and autonomous driving performance sign-off.
  • Collaborate with the in-vehicle software team on latency analysis and issue triage.
  • Collaborate with the training infrastructure team to develop QAT and model distillation.
Basic Qualifications
  • Master in CS/CE/EE, or equivalent, with 1-3 years of industry experience. Open to new graduates.
  • Strong understanding of Transformer architectures and LLM inference.
  • Hands-on experience quantizing or deploying deep learning models in production.
  • Proficiency with PyTorch and at least one inference or compilation stack.
  • Strong Python programming and software engineering skills.
  • Ability to work effectively across research, systems, infrastructure, and product teams.
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with weight-only, activation, KV-cache, dynamic, static, or mixed-precision quantization.
  • Experience with AWQ, GPTQ, SmoothQuant, or related methods.
  • Strong numerical analysis and systems engineering skills.
  • Experience with one or more LLM runtimes, such as TensorRT-LLM, vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp, ONNX Runtime, TVM, MLIR, or custom runtimes.
  • Experience deploying LLMs on resource-constrained or heterogeneous hardware.
  • Contributions to model optimization, inference, compiler, or serving projects.
  • Publications at NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ACL, or related conferences.
What We Provide
  • A fun, supportive and engaging environment.
  • Infrastructures and computational resources to support your work.
  • Opportunity to work on cutting edge technologies with the top talents in the field.
  • Opportunity to make a significant impact on the transportation revolution by the means of advancing autonomous driving.
  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Snacks, lunches, dinners, and fun activities.
