Responsibilities

• Depending on your background and interests, you may work in one or more of the following areas: Compiler Technology: Develop and enhance our retargetable compiler technology, combining LLVM with specialized optimization and code-generation techniques such as instruction selection, register allocation, scheduling, and domain-specific programming models.
• Develop tools for instruction-set simulation, RTL generation, and processor verification.
• This includes cycle- and instruction-accurate simulation using LLVM-based run-time optimization, generation of synthesizable Verilog/VHDL models, automatic test-program generation, and property-based formal verification.
• Help customers successfully apply ASIP Designer to their processor-development challenges.
• Analyze customer applications, develop innovative processor features, investigate complex technical questions, and support customers during evaluation, development, implementation, and verification.
• Develop AI-powered features within the ASIP Designer tool-suite that make processor development easier, faster, and more productive.
• Explore how AI can assist engineers throughout the processor design workflow and integrate these capabilities into professional processor-development tools.
• Across these areas, you work at the intersection of software development, processor architecture, compilers, hardware design, verification, AI, and real-world applications.

Requirements

• Qualifications To apply for this role, you should have: An MSc or PhD degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
• Strong programming skills, particularly in C and/or C++.
• Solid problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Knowledge of, or a strong interest in, processor and computer architecture.
• An interest in developing sophisticated software tools for processor design.
• Good communication and collaboration skills.
• Processor and DSP architectures
• Embedded C/C++ and assembly programming Instruction-set simulation RTL design, Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL SystemC/TLM and UVM Processor verification and formal verification DSP algorithms and domain-specific programming models AI/ML, generative AI, or AI-assisted software engineering
• Developing AI-enabled features for complex engineering tools

Preferred

• Experience in one or more of the following areas is an advantage: LLVM, GCC, MLIR, compiler optimization and code generation
