OR PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field. * 1+ year of any combination of academic and/or work experience with compiler or tools. Preferred Qualifications: * Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field. ## Description As a leading technology innovator, Qualcomm pushes the boundaries of what's possible to enable next-generation experiences and drives digital transformation to help create a smarter, connected future for all. As a Qualcomm Compiler Toolchain Software Engineer, you will have scope of design autonomy and substantial opportunity to master key technologies in compilers that provide new capabilities with high energy efficiency. Qualcomm Engineers collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance state-of-the-art application domains for gaming, image processing, virtual and augmented reality, machine learning, and modem., * Leverages knowledge of software development, processor architecture (e.g., DSP, CPU, NSP, microcontroller), debugging and recovery techniques, and systems concepts (e.g., scheduling, memory management, QoS, parallel execution, acceleration, memory models) to enhance application domains for mobile and compute products. * Incorporates features to programming tools to assist software developers implement, debug, and optimize code running on programmable cores (e.g., DSP, CPU, NSP, microcontroller). * Designs and develops industry standard tools (e.g., debuggers, linkers, profilers, converters, optimizers, etc.). * Builds bit-exact functional or timing-accurate simulators to enable off-target execution of software. * Synthesizes and runs benchmarks for applications; analyzes data to provide feedback for performance, power optimizations, and constraint management. * Designs and writes the compiler toolchain (e.g., LLVM, GCC, MLIR, Halide, TVM) to ensure compilation of code onto the hardware architecture. * Applies mathematical techniques for programming languages, algorithms, and optimization to enable tools to provide performance and power efficiency for hardware products; utilizes data structures and heuristics to make compilation tractible. * Applies Intermediate Representation of programs to expose opportunities for program optimization. Level of Responsibility: * Works under supervision. * Decision-making may affect work beyond immediate work group. * Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey information. May require basic negotiation, influence, tact, etc. * Has a moderate amount of influence over key organizational decisions. * Tasks require multiple steps which can be performed in various orders; some planning, problem-solving, and prioritization must occur to complete the tasks effectively.
