The Role
Openchip is building exciting new RISC-V chips with HPC and AI acceleration. The Compilers team is developing the compilers, both for traditional languages (C, C++, Fortran) and for ML frameworks. As engineering lead, your role will be to provide technical direction of the team, mentor more junior developers, and drive innovation within the team, as they build on top of industry-standard compiler frameworks like LLVM to enable the use of Openchip’s novel hardware features and accelerators, bringing visible improvements to end users.

Key Responsibilities

Understand the technical landscape of their project and make decisions about it.
Make independent technical contributions, especially for the most foundational or challenging parts of the project.
Write code to extend compiler frameworks (e.g., GCC, LLVM), enabling usage of novel hardware features and acceleration, and improving the quality of code generated for these targets.
This includes both "traditional" (high-level language to binary) compilers as well as those manipulating ML intermediate representations (e.g., model graphs).
Interact with engineers and leads from their and other teams to unblock issues, or to reach consensus on technical topics. In particular:
Work with ML/AI and hardware teams, connecting their respective requirements and offerings, influencing hardware/software co-design.
In other cases, understand ML/AI workloads, both industry standard ones
