Software Developer (697499)

About this opportunity

Baseband Infrastructure, BBI, provides middleware and tools to base station application designers. The users develop features for all standards from 2G and forward but with focus right now on 5G. The baseband application runs on EMCA (Ericsson Many-Core Architecture) which is our own high-performance hardware. Our mission is to provide both a platform that fully utilizes the powerful EMCA chip and an efficient development environment. The LLVM (Low Level Virtual Machine)/Clang-based compiler eco system is a vital part in this mission. This eco system includes our assembler as well as the LLVM linker (lld).

The EMCA DSP (Digital Signal Processor) has many features which makes it special compared to mainstream processors and hard for a compiler to target. The C compiler for the EMCA DSP is dedicated to supporting the long-term investment in the in-house EMCA DSP hardware product, for current and future generations. It is also dedicated in making the about 1300 developers using the EMCA DSP within Ericsson productive. The compiler should generate efficient code and the build speed should be good.

To achieve this, close cooperation with chip development is needed during prototyping of new hardware designs. But modern, industry-grade compiler tooling eco-systems are much more than just the code generation in the compiler. They provide other important pieces in the development tool chain, for diagnostics, debugging, and refactoring of code.
