About The Position

RISC-V CPU Compiler Engineer

Job Description
Are you passionate about maximizing CPU performance and pushing the
boundaries of optimization? Join our innovative team and play a key role
in developing cutting-edge solutions that empower developers and
transform server efficiency! Our team builds open source compiler
toolsets for Qualcomm silicon. This includes compilers, assemblers,
linkers, libraries, debuggers, profilers, and other developer tools. The
toolsets enable internal and external developers to build software
ecosystems on Qualcomm hardware. We are looking for engineers who will
work actively in open source communities to establish and augment
compiler and system software toolsets and bring compiler optimizations
into key open source packages. In this role, you will add and enhance
support for Qualcomm hardware in open source projects. You will
collaborate with Qualcomm hardware and software engineers to enable
efficient usage of Qualcomm’s silicon for a broad set of applications.
You will work with the team on the entire compilation stack including
optimizing code generation, improving performance, response time and
programmer usability.
