Responsibilities

Leverages advanced 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 complex 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 advanced industry standard tools (e.g., debuggers, linkers, profilers, converters, optimizers, etc.).
Builds complex bit-exact functional or timing-accurate simulators to enable off-target execution of software.
Synthesizes and runs benchmarks for complex 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 efficient compilation of code onto the hardware architecture.
Leverages advanced mathematical techniques for programming languages, algorithms, and optimization to enable tools to robustly provide performance and power efficiency for hardware products; utilizes advanced data structures and heuristics to make compilation tractible.
Applies advanced Intermediate Representation of programs to expose opportunities for program optimization.
