Job Description
Structured overview of role & requirementsAbout This Role
Lead power and performance optimizations on Qualcomm compute chipsets using upstream Linux kernel, focusing on system and use-case performance under power and thermal constraints.
Own and deliver product power and performance KPIs through measurement, tuning, and regression prevention including boot-time optimization and memory performance.
Mentor engineers and collaborate cross-functionally and with upstream Linux community for patching, debugging, and performance improvements.
Minimum Requirements
8+ years experience in Linux software development focused on ARM architecture and Linux kernel fundamentals (scheduling, memory, power management).
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electronics Engineering, or related; Master’s or PhD acceptable with reduced experience requirements.
