Requirements
• Master’s or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field • 5+ years of experience in compiler development, systems programming, or performance-critical backend software engineering • Strong understanding of compiler backend concepts, including scheduling, memory optimization, and code generation • Demonstrated experience optimizing computations at a low level (e.g., tiling, memory planning, concurrent scheduling, task synchronization) • Basic to solid understanding of computer architecture concepts such as memory hierarchies, DMA controllers, Network-on-Chip (NoC), and modern CPU architectures (e.g., RISC-V, ARM, x86) • Familiarity with heterogeneous computing architectures (e.g., CPU + accelerator such as GPU, NPU, DSP, or similar) • Strong programming skills in Python and good proficiency in C++ • Experience working collaboratively in a team environment • Experience with modern compiler frameworks such as MLIR, LLVM, or TVM • Experience working with domain-specific languages (DSLs) such as Triton, cuTile, or similar • Experience with RISC-V architecture, including vector extensions • Experience optimizing deep learning or high-performance computing workloads • Experience working close to hardware or with hardware/software co-design • Experience in performance analysis, profiling, and optimization • We offer a flexible working arrangement, with options to: • Work from one of our Axelera AI offices (Leuven in Belgium, Amsterdam and Eindhoven in the Netherlands, Zurich in Switzerland, Florence and Milan in Italy or Bristol in the United Kingdom) if you're already based in the vicinity. • Work fully remotely from any European country (incl. the UK) you are already in. • Relocate with us and work from Italy (Florence or Milan) or the Netherlands (Amsterdam or Eindhoven). • Kindly note that priority will be given to candidates who are [interested in being] based in Belgium or Italy.
Responsibilities
• Evolve our kernel language to something that is usable both by developers inside and outside the compiler team and company • Design and implement backend compiler optimizations to efficiently map workloads onto heterogeneous architectures (CPU, NPU, and specialized accelerators) • Implement advanced optimization strategies across the compiler stack based on your experience, e.g.: Memory planning, tiling, vectorization, task partitioning, concurrency optimizations (compute and memory), etc. • Contribute to compiler infrastructure, intermediate representations, and optimization passes • Analyze performance bottlenecks and implement improvements based on profiling and benchmarking • Contribute to technical direction, mentor junior engineers, and promote engineering best practices • Work effectively within a collaborative, distributed engineering team
