This role focuses on end-to-end display software stack development across Linux and RTOS, enabling high-performance, low-power, and real-time display experiences in heterogeneous edge computing environments.

PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Designs and implements the display software stack across Linux and RTOS.

• Develops scalable solutions for heterogeneous SoC architectures.

• Owns the display pipeline from low-level driver to system integration.

• Develops and maintains Linux display software, including Linux kernel display drivers, DRM/KMS framework, framebuffer, and panel drivers, as well as Wayland, X Window system, and LVGL support.

• Integrates across bootloader, kernel, and user space in embedded Linux environments.

• Supports industry-standard interfaces such as MIPI DSI, SPI, and I2C.

• Optimizes display software for high-throughput workloads and AI/camera coexistence.

• Supports display bring-up and integration across IE-IOT platforms for surveillance, smart devices, retail, robotics, and edge AI systems.

• Collaborates with hardware teams and panel vendors to support validation and productization.

• Optimizes display pipelines for low power consumption, real-time responsiveness, and high bandwidth efficiency.

• Performs cross-layer debugging across RTOS, Linux, and hardware.

• Analyzes kernel logs, tracing data, IPC and synchronization issues, and interface-level signal problems.

• Drives root cause resolution in multi-core systems.

• Contributes to software architecture decisions for display subsystems.

REQUIRED COMPETENCIES:

• Analytical Skills –Ability to collect information and identify patterns and trends in data; ability to gather, integrate, and interpret information from multiple sources to support technical and business decisions.

• Communication –Ability to convey information clearly and accurately and select the most effective communication method; uses technically sound oral and written communication with teams, stakeholders, and executive leadership.

• Getting Organized – Ability to plan, organize, and execute work effectively; manages multiple tasks, uses resources efficiently, and anticipates obstacles.

• Time Management – Ability to prioritize mission-critical work and focus on the most valuable tasks while deferring lower-priority work.

MINIMUMQUALIFICATIONS: 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
