As a Senior AI Compiler Engineer, you will design and build a custom MLIR-based compiler stack for next-gen silicon, optimizing AI models without an OS. Responsibilities include creating MLIR dialects, ensuring accuracy in lowering computational graphs, and maintaining a high-performance compiler codebase.
Grow with us
Senior AI Compiler Engineer - Research Team
Austin, Texas
This is not a remote work opportunity.
MLIR Architecture | Compiler Infrastructure | 5G/6G Silicon | Bare-Metal AI
The Mission
Most AI compiler engineers optimize models for GPUs that already exist. You're going to optimize them for silicon that doesn't yet.
As our Senior AI Compiler Engineer, you're not porting a framework, tweaking a runtime, or wrapping CUDA libraries. You're doing something far rarer and far harder - building a complete MLIR-based compiler stack from the ground up, purpose-built to run massive AI models like Llama 3 on bare-metal 5G/6G telecommunications silicon, where there's no OS to bail you out and every byte of memory is accounted for.
The gap between a research model and hardware-optimized silicon execution is one of the most technically brutal problems in the industry right now. You'll be the engineer who closes it.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
MLIR Architecture - Own the Stack
You'll design and implement custom MLIR dialects from scratch - TableGen definitions, transformation passes, and the dialect conversion infrastructure that bridges the world of high-level AI graphs and the cold, hard reality of custom silicon. This is greenfield compiler work at its most consequential.
Lowering & Legalization - Zero Tolerance for Approximation
Take high-level computational graphs exported from JAX and StableHLO and lower them, step by step, into hardware-specific IR without losing a single bit of mathematical fidelity. Every op must legalize. Every semantic must survive the descent.
Concurrency & Memory Modeling - Orchestrate the Machine
There's no virtual memory here. No garbage collector. No safety net. You'll build static scheduling and tiling passes that choreograph data movement between HBM and on-chip local memory with surgical precision - because on this hardware, getting it wrong isn't a performance regression, it's a failure.
Production C++ - Code That Ships to Silicon
You'll maintain a high-performance, modular, LLVM-based compiler codebase where correctness and determinism aren't aspirational - they're required. This is production compiler engineering in the truest sense.

Short-Term Variable Compensation Plan (select STV or SIP): Your pay also includes the opportunity for an annual bonus. Actual bonus payouts are based on performance of the business against the unit's objectives, individual performance, and the individual bonus target. Certain eligibility and pro-ration rules apply.
Your Health
Ericsson offers excellent health benefits including the choice of three medical plan options and a dental plan option that allow an employee to select the level of coverage that suits their needs. Employees will receive company credits in an amount equal to the cost that Ericsson pays toward the cost of their medical and dental premiums for themselves and eligible covered dependents.
Your Financial Security
We invest in both your short and long-term financial wellbeing. The Ericsson US 401(k) Plan offers an automatic 3% company contribution and Ericsson match $1 for every $1 you put into the 401(k) Plan on the first 3% of your eligible pay, plus 50 cents on every $1 on the next 2% of eligible pay. When you contribute at least 5% of eligible pay, you are receiving Ericsson's full matching contributions of 4%. Matching and company automatic contributions stop when your total eligible pay for the year reaches the IRS limits. Employees will also receive company credits in an amount equal to the cost of basic life insurance and basic accidental death and dismemberment coverage, as well as short-term and long-term disability coverage. Employees also have the option to participate in Ericsson's Stock Purchase Plan.
