Codasip is redefining computing through cyber-resilient semiconductor architectures, with a strategic focus on CHERI-enabled technologies and architecture-first security solutions. The company is building next-generation processors where security is embedded at the core by design.
You will join the Embedded Software team as a Senior LLVM Compiler Engineer, responsible for developing and enhancing the LLVM compiler to support Codasip's cutting-edge processor technologies and custom CPU cores. This is a technically challenging role with broad scope and impact.
Key responsibilities:
- Customize and optimize LLVM to support Codasip's standard and customized embedded CPU cores, including RISC-V cores and custom hardware extensions or entirely new processor architectures developed using Codasip Studio EDA tool
- Provide compiler expertise to the Embedded Software team to optimize software performance
- Support processor design teams with compiler guidance on microarchitectural design and optimization
- Explore compiler technology for novel compute architectures and emerging technologies
- Collaborate with the Codasip Studio EDA tool compiler team to enhance the tool's compiler capabilities
- Act as a software technical expert, providing expert advice to internal and external customers
- Mentor junior team members and spread knowledge and experience within the team
The role balances short-term customer-driven projects with longer-term strategic software product development. You will have high impact and visibility both within Codasip and in the broader RISC-V ecosystem.
Codasip is a well-funded startup with a Silicon Valley culture that values prudent risk-taking and innovative thinking, headquartered in Europe with design centers in Cambridge and Bristol.
Requirements:
- In-depth knowledge of the LLVM compiler
- Knowledge of the C/C++ clang frontend
- Knowledge of high-level hardware microarchitecture and its effects on software performance
- Flexible and adaptable attitude to work
- Desire to learn and positively influence the technical development of others
- Working rights in the UK (mandatory)
Highly desirable:
- Experience with RISC-V technologies
- Experience implementing complex software security technologies in the compiler (e.g., CHERI)
- Rust language compiler experience
- Ability to communicate effectively at both technical and management levels
