Intern - Compiler

Efficient is developing the world's most energy-efficient general-purpose computer processor. Efficient's patented technology uses 100x less energy than state of the art commercially available ultra-low-power processors and is programmable using standard high-level programming languages and AI/ML frameworks. This level of efficiency makes perpetual, pervasive intelligence possible: run AI/ML continuously on a AA battery for 5-10 years. Our platform's unprecedented level of efficiency enables IoT devices to intelligently capture and curate first-party data to drive the next major computing revolution 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. **Why Join Efficient?** Efficient offers a **competitive compensation and benefits package**, including **401K match, company-paid benefits, equity program, paid parental leave, and flexibility**. We are committed to personal and professional development and strive to grow together as people and as a company.
