Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced Compiler and Toolchain Specialist to join our automotive software team. The ideal candidate will be responsible for evaluating, selecting, configuring, and maintaining compilers and related toolchains used for embedded software development in safety-critical automotive systems (e.g., ECU software, ADAS, powertrain, infotainment). This role demands deep technical expertise in various compiler technologies, code generation behavior, optimization strategies, and toolchain compatibility for multiple architectures (e.g., ARM, PowerPC, RISC-V, TriCore ). Key Responsibilities: Evaluate and select appropriate compilers and toolchains for embedded automotive platforms, based on performance, safety, and compliance requirements. Analyze compiler-generated code (assembly, object files, binary output) to assess efficiency, size, and correctness. Interface with hardware teams to ensure compiler compatibility with automotive microcontrollers and SoCs. Benchmark different compilers (e.g., GCC, Clang/LLVM, Green Hills, IAR, Diab, Tasking) for specific applications. Work closely with functional safety teams to ensure compiler compliance with ISO 26262 (ASIL-level requirements). Support software teams in debugging compiler-related issues and interpreting low-level behavior. Stay current on developments in compiler technologies, toolchain updates, and their impact on embedded development. Create documentation, training materials, and internal guidelines for compiler usage and optimization.
