Compiler Engineer

Job description

Job Description

The Media Processing Group (MPG) produces Graphics hardware and software products for mobile and embedded devices. Our Mali Graphics Processors (GPUs) have an advanced, highly programmable architecture for accelerating 2D and 3D graphics, specifically tuned for high performance and energy efficiency.

We are now looking for a new member for our compiler team, which develops and maintains the compiler for our GPUs. The compiler has several frontends, including an ESSL front-end, and provides an efficient backend to the GPU instruction set. Our challenge is to provide robust and optimized functionality in a highly constrained environment in terms of footprint and compilation time.

Key Accountabilities/Responsibilities

We are looking for software engineers/scientists who have an interest in compiler technology to further develop the compiler for this and coming generations of the GPU. We have a roadmap of features to be implemented, and at the same time need to continuously improve the compiler performance.

We expect the new team member to have previous experience from working with compilers and have the capacity to analyze new incoming requirements on the compiler, suggest practical solutions, and implement and test them. We are looking for an engineer who will focus on the back-end of the compiler, specializing in code generation.
