As a Compiler Tools Engineer on the Compiler Toolchain Software team, you will develop LLVM- and MLIR-based compiler components for the Hexagon DSP. You will be responsible for improving machine learning compiler lowering and optimization pipelines to ensure efficient execution on Qualcomm hardware. Your daily work involves using profiling and benchmark data to drive performance and code size improvements while debugging correctness issues across MLIR, LLVM IR, assembly, and generated code. The role requires expertise in modern C/C++, as well as production compiler frameworks like LLVM or MLIR. You will also navigate complex domains including machine learning compiler stacks, graph-level optimizations, and hardware constraints such as SIMD architectures and memory organization. This position focuses on solving technical challenges related to signal processing, multimedia workloads, and wireless communication on the Android platform.
