Compiler Engineering Intern

Job Details:

Job Description:

At Intel, we are building the next generation of software technologies that unlock the potential of heterogeneous computing. Our compiler technologies help developers harness CPUs, GPUs, and accelerators through high-performance, portable software.

As an intern, you will contribute to an open ecosystem that advances performance, scalability, reliability, and developer productivity for AI, HPC, and other demanding workloads, while supporting Intel's commitment to contributing to and collaborating with open-source communities.

About the Team

The Intel Compiler Engineering Team develops LLVM-based C, C , SYCL, Triton, MLIR, Domain Specific Languages (DSLs), and Fortran compiler technologies for Intel processor platforms, including CPUs and GPUs.

The team works across the compiler stack and in close collaboration with hardware architecture teams, covering language front ends, intermediate representations, optimization, code generation, debug information, runtimes, offload support, quality, and developer tooling. This work connects Intel hardware and compiler capabilities with AI frameworks and software ecosystems such as PyTorch, inference engines, and machine-learning models.

You will collaborate with experienced engineers and contribute to open-source communities while learning how production compilers are designed, tested, optimized, and delivered.

Position Overview

We are hiring a Compiler Engineer Intern to contribute to Intel's compiler software stack. You will work with experienced compiler and hardware architecture engineers on a scoped project that may involve:
