Job Description

Develop an open source toolchain for one of the most popular CPU architectures in Cambridge or Manchester, UK. As part of the Development Solutions Group, this role is for a Senior Compiler Software Engineer who will contribute to the development of Arm’s next generation of processors. Your experience in compiler and toolchain will enable you to contribute to Arm’s cutting-edge development program.

You will join a team of hardworking professional software engineers who all share a real passion for open source software and for wanting to stamp their mark on the future of computing, wherever it may lead. If you share a similar passion we want to hear from you!

Job Purpose and Accountabilities

We are looking for experienced engineers who have a strong knowledge of compilers along with proven technical skills. You will join the team responsible for developing and improving the Arm GNU Tools software eco-system (GCC, GAS, GDB, glibc, etc), which often involves working with processors and other hardware technology not yet available to the general public. Work will be carried out on a range of development platforms, models and FPGAs.

You will contribute to providing first class open source tools support across Arm’s architecture and processor portfolio (current architectures, as well as the new ARMv8 AArch64 architecture). This will involve all aspects of toolchain development, collaborating with open source communities, participating to developer conferences and working with semiconductor partners and customers.

You will be expected to complete tools development tasks assigned to you mostly independently, and report status of progress regularly. You will be expected to grow into an expert of specific toolchain domains, and identify some problem to resolve by yourself.

The successful candidate will be flexible, with a variety of software development skills and a passion to extend the breadth and depth of their knowledge.
