Synopsys is a worldwide leading supplier of horizontal IP which is used by our customers to design semiconductor integrated circuits. The IP product portfolio includes ARC processors, high-performance Vector DSP processors, industry-leading neural network processors, USB, DDR, and Ethernet interface controllers and much more.

The ARC Processor team is looking for an experienced compiler engineer who will contribute to the development of our neural network model compiler. This compiler is used by third-party developers who run neural network-based workloads on SoCs with ARC Neural Network Processor IP inside.

Key responsibilities Develop and enhance the compiler backend targeting ARC Neural Network Processor IP Develop compiler passes for lowering a high-level intermediate representation to a low-level hardware accelerator representationDevelop mapping and optimization algorithms which partition compute tasks across multiple hardware accelerators in optimal waysContribute to compiler QA, including creation of test plans & test automations, execution of tests and creation of reports
Required Skills 5+ years of proven experience in developing software applications or tooling for domain-specific processors or other similar resource-constrained hardwareAbility to write clean, scalable, and maintainable production-level C++ codeGeneral understanding of state-of-the-art deep learning concepts, methods and modelsFamiliarity with Agile development methodologiesWorking experience with embedded systems and hardware device controlFamiliarity with Git source control managementExcellent problem solving and critical thinking skillsTeam player with good interpersonal skills  Excellent written and spoken English
Optional and Helpful SkillsGood understanding of compiler theory and compiler industry trendsHands-on experience working on compiler internals (including various optimizations such as auto-parallelization, auto-scheduling and performance analysis), preferably with NN compilersSolid troubleshooting and analytical skills, experience in testing production software, preferably compilers Experience with low-bit model quantizationExperience using open-source Neural Network technologies like LLVM / MLIR, TVM, Glow, xbyak, etc. Experience working with frameworks like ONNX, PyTorch, TensorFlow
