Founded in 1996, CoWare is currently one of the fastest growing companies in Silicon Valley. Our worldwide offices include R&D facilities in the United States, Belgium, Germany, and India. Our products are in use today at systems, IP and semiconductor companies, including Alcatel, ARM, Canon, Fujitsu, IBM, InterDigital, Nokia, Matsushita, Motorola, Rohm, Samsung, Sanyo, Sony, STMicroelectronics, Toshiba and Xilinx.

CoWares LISATek technology enables the automatic generation of software development tools out of a model written in an architecture description language - including an optimizing C compiler for the core under design. The development of retargetable software tools, such as a compiler which can be automatically re-targeted for different processor architectures, is a very challenging task stretching far beyond conventional software tool design. The Compiler Engineer will get in touch with many cutting-edge instruction-set processor architectures that require consideration of novel compiler optimization and retargeting techniques. He works in a small, innovative and fast-moving team that interacts closely the CoWares field organization and customers.

The key task of the Compiler Engineer is the design and implementation of a highly retargetable C compiler from architecture description language models.

He should be familiar with (Unix-based) development environments and tooling, and be fluent in written and verbal English.

Preferably, the candidate has experience in retargetable compiler frameworks (e.g., GCC, CoSy), knowledge of popular embedded processors (e.g., ARM, MIPS, DSPs), and experience in the construction of compilers for embedded processors.

On personal level, the candidate is an autonomous, creative team player with a sense for urgency and good written and verbal communication skills.

Responsible for the design and development of system level design tools, focused on verification/analysis aspects, in a team of highly experienced software developers in the San Jose headquarters. Will report to the Director of Engineering. The selected candidate will be responsible for product development from functional specification through design and development to the testing stage, making a direct and important contribution to CoWare's success by helping grow our technology.

The candidate must have experience as a key team player developing large scale software products using Unix/C++. Requires experience designing and implementing complex algorithms with emphasis on memory and performance optimization techniques. Knowledge of and experience with software engineering concepts in a product development cycle is a must.Product development experience in Java is a strong plus. Should have a solid background in developing EDA tools related to functional verification along with a working knowledge of Hardware Descriptive Language. Compiler knowledge and experience is highly desirable. Seven or more years of experience is preferred.

The successful candidate will be smart with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, be a team player and be enthusiastic about working in an energetic group of highly qualified engineers.
