Responsibilities

Lead board bring-up for new hardware platforms, including microcontrollers and infotainment system-on-chips (SoCs).
Develop and debug bootloaders and early boot software.
Bring up and customize FreeRTOS, QNX, Linux, and Android on new boards.
Enable the Linux kernel and device drivers for custom hardware.
Optimize boot time, system startup, and runtime performance.
Drive power optimization across boot, idle states, and active workloads.
Debug complex hardware and software issues using JTAG, logic analyzers, and low-level logs.
Collaborate with hardware teams, board support package (BSP) vendors, and silicon partners.
Support system integration, validation, and bring-up on real target hardware.
Establish best practices and technical standards for the India organization.
