  • Ability to collaborate across hardware and software teams and produce technical documentation

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain compiler and toolchain components (codegen, linkers, assemblers, debuggers, CI/integration).
  • Implement and optimize compiler passes to generate efficient machine code for RISC-V CPUs.
  • Investigate, reproduce, and fix toolchain-related bugs and regressions across compiler internals and generated assembly.
  • Work closely with CPU architects, firmware and software teams to align toolchain capabilities with hardware and performance goals.
  • Build and maintain automated tests, benchmarks, and performance regression suites.
  • Document toolchain designs, best practices, and internal knowledge bases for cross-team consumption.

Education

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience (preferred)
  • Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in relevant field is a plus but not required
  • Equivalent practical experience on compiler/toolchain or low-level systems work accepted
