This placement is an opportunity for keen students to work with and learn from experienced software engineers on a number of exciting software projects developing new software technology for brand new hardware. Depending on skills and interests the candidates might be involved in one or several of the following:

Compiler research and development: working on GPU compiler technology targeting performance and in particular power consumption. This involves learning about heterogeneous architectures and programming languages such as OpenCL, working on the actual compilers and drivers, writing libraries and tests, doing research, writing or contributing to academic papers.

Compiler benchmarking: Writing or porting demo applications using our Offload™ technology for PS3 or GPU. The application domain could be, but is not limited to, computer games, image processing, financial or geological modelling etc. This requires knowledge of C++.

Games development: Working as part of the game development team on game projects for PS3 and other platforms. This involves performance analysis and tuning of and working with game developers on bug resolutions. This is a chance to work on a real computer game.

Web UI/database work: Along with its compiler technology Codeplay have developed over the years a significant testing infrastructure to analyse tool chains. This project is about improving the UI and underlying database (optimizing queries) of the Testplay system. Knowledge of website design and SQL is required.

This is a paid internship and there is plenty of scope to work on all sorts of new hardware and software and valuable industry experience (including customer interaction) will be gained.

We offer a friendly and fun working environment with lots of potential for career development within a growing company.
