Senior LLVM Compiler Engineer - CPU

**Please note this role is primarily open to candidates currently located in, and with working rights to Munich, Dresden or Berlin - Germany. We will also consider applications for those currently located in, and with working rights to wider EU member countries and the UK**

Welcome to Codasip

We believe Codasip is the most innovative processor solutions company. We take pride in designing and developing cutting-edge, high-performance, and energy-efficient CPU cores from scratch, and our own automated proprietary tools to fully customize them. We give our customers a unique competitive advantage by empowering their system-on-chip developers to build the most innovative products.

What you'll do

We're looking for a Senior LLVM Compiler Engineer to join our Embedded Software team and be part of realizing a whole new paradigm in semiconductors and microprocessor design. The role will be within our Codasip Labs organization, where we work on cutting-edge technologies and prepare them for rapid commercialization.

The scope of the work is broad, varied, and technically challenging.

You will:

1. Customize and optimize LLVM compilers to support Codasip’s standard and customized embedded CPU cores. This work will involve enhancing the compiler to work with custom hardware extensions or completely new processor architectures developed using our Studio EDA tool.
2. Support the Embedded Software team engineers with compiler expertise to help optimize software.
3. Support the processor design teams with compiler expertise to guide their microarchitectural design and optimization.
4. Explore compiler technology to support novel compute architectures and technologies.
5. Work with the Codasip Studio EDA tool compiler team to improve the tool’s compiler.

The role demands flexibility and lateral thinking. You will be working on both short-term customer-driven projects, as well as longer-term strategic Codasip software products. RISC-V is a revolutionary technology in the semiconductor industry. This role will have high impact and visibility in Codasip and in the growing RISC-V world.

What you need:

1. In-depth knowledge of the LLVM compiler.
2. Knowledge of the C/C++ clang frontend.
3. Knowledge of high-level hardware microarchitecture and its effects on software performance.
4. A flexible and adaptable attitude to work.
5. A desire to learn and positively influence the technical development of others.

What you might have:

1. Knowledge of Vector processing architectures (Scalable vectors and/or SIMD) and techniques, with experience in implementing and tuning/optimizing vector code.
2. Experience with RISC-V technologies.
3. Experience of implementing complex software security technologies in the compiler (e.g. CHERI).
4. Rust language compiler experience.
5. The ability to communicate effectively at both the technical and management level.

What's in it for you?

Join a flexible, open and supportive team full of curious, self-motivated and driven engineers who are keen to explore new ways of doing things. You'll get to work on ultra-modern, cutting-edge products and technology.

As a Codasipper, you will have the freedom to explore original solutions and experiment with new techniques in your role. We believe in cross-departmental awareness and encourage collaboration, allowing you to add value through diversity in your daily work.

So, come aboard and let's architect a future of innovation together! We can't wait to see what you'll achieve at Codasip.
