NOW HIRING!

 We are seeking a talented and motivated Compiler Engineer to join our dynamic team and play a pivotal role in designing, developing, and optimizing compilers that power DASH Tech IC’s innovative platforms. You will be responsible for the design, development, and optimization of compilers for platforms that are tailored to the unique requirements of RF systems. You will work closely with hardware engineers, system architects, and domain specialists to ensure that our computing platforms deliver the highest performance and energy efficiency. Your work will contribute to the advancement of technologies used in mission-critical systems. In this role, you are expected to participate in the definition of architecture and implementation of designs in both prototype and commercial products as well as demonstrate good development practices and seamless collaboration. Our teams deliver all embedded software from ASIC boot ROM and successive bootloaders, low-level device drivers, to high-level, complex hardware/software systems and tooling. 

Responsibilities

• Design and develop high-performance, energy-efficient compilers for specialized computing platforms
• Implement optimizations for RF signal processing applications, considering real-time constraints, power efficiency, and scalability
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to co-design and fine-tune the integration between the compiler and the underlying hardware architecture
• Develop and maintain compiler front-ends, back-ends, and code generation tools for various programming languages
• Optimize data flow, instruction scheduling, and memory management for parallel computing architectures
• Conduct performance analysis and tuning to ensure maximal computational throughput with minimal energy consumption
• Identify and implement platform-specific compiler optimizations to enhance the performance of target algorithms
• Stay updated on the latest compiler technologies, parallel computing trends, and energy-efficient computing techniques
• Debug and resolve complex issues related to compiler performance, accuracy, and stability in large-scale parallel environments
• Perform software and systems engineering activities and provide technical insight to team members
• Support all phases of hardware development, including early architecture requirements definition for custom silicon, firmware architecture, implementation, simulation, chip bring-up as well as support systems and software teams on algorithm development on validated systems
• Support development of high-level systems simulations and the realization of designs in software
• Collaborate closely in a team environment with silicon architects, hardware designers, OS team, algorithm and model development teams in understanding end-user requirements and implementing on new and established processing platforms
