Job Requirements What You Will Do- Lead the low-level software bring-up of next-generation Augmented Reality (AR) platforms running Android XR on Qualcomm Snapdragon architecture.
- Architect, develop, and maintain Linux/Android kernel-space drivers, with a primary focus on display enablement using the DRM/KMS framework.
- Configure, integrate, and optimize the Android display stack, including SurfaceFlinger and Hardware Composer, to achieve stringent AR latency, responsiveness, and frame-rate requirements.
- Implement, tune, and validate high-speed interfaces such as MIPI DSI and QSPI for micro-display panels, memory devices, and peripheral components.
- Collaborate closely with hardware, electrical, and systems engineering teams to debug and resolve complex hardware/software integration challenges.
- Diagnose and troubleshoot issues related to signal integrity, power sequencing, display initialization, protocol communication, and overall system stability.
- Drive performance optimization across display, graphics, power, and thermal subsystems to deliver a seamless AR user experience.
- Support board bring-up, validation, and production readiness through rigorous testing, debugging, and root-cause analysis.
- Utilize advanced lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers, to investigate and resolve physical-layer and protocol-level issues.
- Contribute to the development of innovative AR solutions by enabling cutting-edge display technologies and high-performance wearable computing platforms.
What You Will Bring- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
- Hands-on experience with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, preferably within wearable, AR, XR, or spatial computing platforms such as AR1 or XR2 series chipsets.
- Strong expertise in Linux and Android kernel development, including device drivers, kernel debugging, and platform enablement.
- Proven experience developing display drivers using DRM/KMS and working with Android graphics components such as SurfaceFlinger and Hardware Composer.
- Deep understanding of MIPI DSI and QSPI interfaces, including timing configuration, register-level programming, and protocol debugging.
- Advanced programming skills in C and C++ for embedded and system-level software development.
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting capabilities across hardware and software domains.
- Experience using hardware diagnostic tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, MIPI protocol analyzers, and other embedded development equipment.
- Solid understanding of embedded system architecture, boot flows, memory management, power management, and performance optimization.
