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., Applies 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 assist in the enhancement of 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). Assists in the design and development of industry standard tools (e.g., debuggers, linkers, profilers, converters, optimizers, etc.). Assists in building bit-exact functional or timing-accurate simulators to enable off-target execution of software. Provides support for synthesizing and running benchmarks for different applications. Assists in the design of 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. Assists in applying Intermediate Representation of programs to expose opportunities for program optimization. Level of Responsibility: Works under supervision. Decision-making affects direct area of work and/or work group. Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey basic, routine factual information. Tasks consist of a limited number of steps and can be referenced using directions or manuals. Qualcomm is an equal opportunity employer.
