Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
• OR Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field and 1+ year of Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
• OR PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• 1+ year of any combination of academic and/or work experience with compiler or tools.

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.

Responsibilities

• Leverages knowledge of software development, processor architecture (e.g., DSP, CPU, NSP, microcontroller), debugging and recovery techniques, and systems concepts (e.g., scheduling, memory management, QoS, parallel execution, acceleration, memory models) to enhance application domains for mobile and compute products.
• Incorporates features to programming tools to assist software developers implement, debug, and optimize code running on programmable cores (e.g., DSP, CPU, NSP, microcontroller).
• Designs and develops industry standard tools (e.g., debuggers, linkers, profilers, converters, optimizers, etc.).
• Builds bit-exact functional or timing-accurate simulators to enable off-target execution of software.
• Synthesizes and runs benchmarks for applications; analyzes data to provide feedback for performance, power optimizations, and constraint management.
• Designs and writes the compiler toolchain (e.g., LLVM, GCC, MLIR, Halide, TVM) to ensure compilation of code onto the hardware architecture.
• Applies mathematical techniques for programming languages, algorithms, and optimization to enable tools to provide performance and power efficiency for hardware products; utilizes data structures and heuristics to make compilation tractible.
• Applies Intermediate Representation of programs to expose opportunities for program optimization.
