Responsibilities
Architecture Porting: Port and build large-scale C++ simulation codebases on ARM-based Linux instances
Library Optimization: Identify and swap out x86-specific dependencies (e.g., Intel MKL) with ARM-compatible performance libraries (e.g., ArmPL, OpenBLAS)
System Debugging: Use low-level tools (GDB, LLDB, Valgrind) to identify and fix runtime errors, memory alignment issues, and illegal instructions
Build Infrastructure: Modify and maintain complex build systems (CMake, Make) to support cross-compilation and multi-architecture builds
Iterative Testing: Systematically work through dependency trees, resolving errors one library at a time until the simulator runs successfully on ARM
Investigate and resolve architecture-related issues (ABI differences, alignment, performance)
Improve build and automation workflows where needed
Document solutions and best practices for long-term ARM support
Qualification
Required
Advanced C/C++: Proficiency in C/C++ with a focus on memory management, pointers, and shared library linking
Linux Mastery: Deep comfort with the Linux command line, including environment variables, shell scripting, and library paths (LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
Build Systems: Experience with CMake, Make, or Ninja
Debugging Mindset: Proven ability to read stack traces and debug crashes at the system level
Education: Currently pursuing a BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering
Preferred
Prior experience with ARM architecture (e.g., Raspberry Pi, AWS Graviton, Apple Silicon)
Experience porting software across architectures or operating systems
Knowledge of numerical or performance libraries (BLAS/LAPACK, OpenBLAS, Eigen, FFT libraries)
Experience with SIMD instructions (replacing AVX/SSE with NEON/SVE)
Contributions to low-level open-source projects (compilers, kernels, or emulators)
Exposure to cross-compilation toolchains
