Principal SoC Platform Engineer — AI-Native Dev Tooling

Cirrus Logic; Austin (TX); Presencial; USD 180.000 - 240.000; Tempo integral

Resumo da vaga

Cirrus Logic seeks a Principal SoC Development Platform Engineer to architect AI-native software environments for advanced semiconductor platforms. You will bridge SoC architecture, compilers, embedded software, and cloud infrastructure to create scalable developer platforms.

You will lead secure, multi-tenant development workflows, integrate AI-driven tooling, and drive ownership from concept to deployment. This role blends hands-on engineering with architectural leadership.

Qualificações

• Master's or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, with 10+ years of relevant experience.
• Deep knowledge of compiler design, code generation, optimization, runtime systems, and processor microarchitecture.
• Strong experience with ARM embedded development, DSP programming, ML inference deployment, accelerator mapping, and FPGA development.
• Experience architecting cloud-native developer platforms, multi-tenant infrastructure, secure build environments, CI/CD pipelines, and software supply-chain security.
• Understanding of secure software development practices, workload isolation, cryptographic signing, software provenance, trusted execution, secure deployment, and protection of third-party IP.

Responsabilidades

• Architect a unified compilation and deployment framework spanning embedded firmware, DSP algorithms, ML models, and FPGA RTL configurations.
• Develop and integrate compiler frontends, intermediate representations, optimization passes, backends, and runtime frameworks targeting heterogeneous compute resources.
• Collaborate with silicon architects to optimize instruction sets, custom operators, accelerator interfaces, memory architecture, workload partitioning, and system-level power, performance, and area (PPA).
• Establish common abstractions for execution, interoperability, and data movement across CPUs, DSP engines, ML accelerators, and configurable logic.
• Build a headless, AI-agent-driven development platform that translates natural-language intent into compiled, validated pipelines.
• Leverage AI to automate code generation, workload partitioning, compiler optimization, build orchestration, simulation, testing, and debugging.
