Compiler Intern

The compiler team at Efficient is seeking a summer intern who will help to build the next generation of compiler backend for more efficient code generation. The ideal candidate is someone who wants hands-on experience building real compiler technology, enjoys tackling complex low-level programming challenges in a fast-paced startup environment, and has a passion for learning how software transforms into machine code. Think you've got what it takes? Then we want to hear from you!

Efficient is developing a cutting-edge compiler backend that transforms how compilers are built for reconfigurable architectures. Our novel approach automates backend code generation, removing the time-consuming manual effort typically needed to support new hardware configurations.

Daily Responsibilities

• Develop and enhance the custom compiler backend with new features and optimizations
• Create thorough test suites to validate code generation across multiple target architectures
• Contribute to the development of the assembler and disassembler tools
• Support the software-hardware co-design process by maintaining consistency across the toolchain

Required Qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a university program pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, or related field.
• Experience with compiler design, computer architecture, and
• Familiarity with C++ and low-level programming.

Preferred Qualifications

• Have experience with MLIR and LLVM
• Familiarity with hardware design flow and SystemVerilog.

More Information:

This position will be based in Efficient’s San Jose office.

The internship will run 10-12 weeks throughout the summer, with opportunities to extend throughout the semester, where needed.
