Software / Applications Engineer - ASIP Designer Tools (m/f/d)

• Compiler Technology: Develop and enhance our retargetable compiler technology, combining LLVM with specialized optimization and code-generation techniques such as instruction selection, register allocation, scheduling, and domain-specific programming models.
• Processor Modeling, Implementation & Verification: Develop tools for instruction-set simulation, RTL generation, and processor verification. This includes cycle- and instruction-accurate simulation using LLVM-based run-time optimization, generation of synthesizable Verilog/VHDL models, automatic test-program generation, and property-based formal verification.
• Applications Engineering: Help customers successfully apply ASIP Designer to their processor-development challenges. Analyze customer applications, develop innovative processor features, investigate complex technical questions, and support customers during evaluation, development, implementation, and verification.
• AI-Assisted Processor Development: Develop AI-powered features within the ASIP Designer tool-suite that make processor development easier, faster, and more productive. Explore how AI can assist engineers throughout the processor design workflow and integrate these capabilities into professional processor-development tools.
