1. Compiler Engineer/Architect Advanced Process Lab/Samsung Research America
Location: Mountain View, CA or Austin, TX
Technical professionals are defined by what they create. Samsung has the risk taking corporate culture,
strategic R&D investments and global know-how to imagine, develop and market products that lead the
industry. Millions of people all over the world use our products every day to work, to communicate and to
enjoy. Samsung's new Advanced Processor Lab (APL) located in San Jose, California is currently
recruiting world-class processor and GPU engineers who share our "Innovation through Passion"
philosophy and thrive in a fast-pace, results-driven environment. At Samsung APL you will get the best of
both worlds – you will have the freedom and creative environment to research while your project have the
potential to translate to real services. You’ll also collaborate with other labs in Silicon Valley and around
the world.
Duties
 Design and implement world class JIT compiler for new GPU architecture targeting OpenGL-
ES and OpenCL. Architect IR and global JIT infrastructure. Select and implement set of
relevant optimizations, determine and implement code generation strategies (adoptive
compilation, run-time feedback).
 Work closely with driver team to integrate JIT into driver infrastructure and determine
compilation strategies for good performance and low power.
 Work closely with GPU architecture team to provide timely input on ISA and various
architectural design decisions
 Determine compiler testing strategies, both for unit test and application levels. Interact with
the driver team to have unified testing approach.

• MS/PhD CS/EE/Applied math or relevant field with 5+ years of industrial experience or BS with
10+ years of industrial experience
• 5+ years in compiler development (industry)
• Strong software design / engineering skills, C, C++, excellent debugging skills
• Performance analysis
• Good communication skills, strong team work
• Understanding of debug support
• Good working knowledge of compiler technology, hands on experience in one of the following:
Register allocation, instruction scheduling, graphics specific optimizations, SIMD relevant control
flow and code placement optimizations, classic machine independent optimizations preferably on
low level IRs

2. Desirable additional skills: compiler development for mobile architectures, knowledge of Android,
knowledge of OpenGL/OpenGL-ES, OpenCL, Direct3D (D3D9-10-11), HSA, GLSL/HLSL, Clang, LLVM,
practical experience in developing JIT compilers, practical experience in developing compilers for shading
languages.
