Internship - AI Code Optimization Engineer M/F

This internship involves developing an AI capable of automatically analyzing source code, generating initial optimization suggestions, executing this process via a long SLURM GPU job, and integrating a monitoring system (e.g., Pyroscope) as well as a multi-agent system to test and validate proposed optimizations. The role is crucial for improving efficiency and reducing computing costs in a high-performance computing (HPC) center.

Must Have

• Structure an AI process: analysis and suggestions
• Set up a local environment compatible with large context (>20k tokens)
• Integrate the process with SLURM for execution on GPU during off-peak hours at the CNES HPC
• Explore monitoring solutions and a potential multi-agent layer for live testing
• Bac+5 level education in Computer Engineering or Applied Mathematics, or equivalent university degree
• Data Science skills
• Proficiency in Python
• Knowledge of generative AI principles
• Knowledge of high-performance computing (HPC) centers
• Use of HPC job management tools (SLURM) and monitoring tools
• Team spirit
• Curiosity
• Rigor
• Capacity for innovation

Perks & Benefits

• Technological expertise
