4+ years expIntel Corporation is seeking a highly skilled Compiler Engineer to focus on designing and implementing compiler infrastructure for AI and machine learning. The role involves developing high-performance kernels and collaborating with hardware teams while optimizing compiler technology for heterogeneous architectures.
Semiconductors
Responsibilities
Design and implement MLIR-based compiler passes for lowering, optimization, and code generation
Build domain-specific dialects to represent compute kernels at multiple abstraction levels
Develop performance-tuned transformation pipelines targeting vectorization, parallelization, and memory locality
Generate and optimize kernels for linear algebra, convolution, and other math-intensive primitives
Ensure cross-target portability while achieving near hand-tuned performance
Collaborate with hardware teams to integrate backend-specific optimizations
Profile generated code and identify performance bottlenecks across architectures
Implement optimizations for cache utilization, prefetching, and scheduling
Contribute to auto-tuning strategies for workload-specific performance
Work closely with ML researchers, system architects, and runtime engineers to co-design kernel generation strategies
Stay up to date with developments in MLIR, LLVM, and compiler technologies
Publish or contribute to open-source MLIR/LLVM communities where appropriate
Qualification
Required
Bachelor's and 7+ years of experience OR Master's degree and 4+ years of experience OR PhD degree and 2+ years of experience. The degree should be in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field
Compiler design and optimization (MLIR, LLVM, or equivalent)
