Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Own storage architecture and platform-level design across Qualcomm chipsets, influencing performance, reliability, scalability, and power decisions.
- Lead development and support of storage drivers, kernel subsystems, file systems, and flash-management software across Linux, Windows, and RTOS; contribute to upstream projects.
- Drive system-level debugging and customer issue resolution, while guiding a team of approximately 5–6 engineers and coordinating project execution.
Minimum Requirements
- Work Experience Required: The role-specific qualifications state 12–14 years in embedded systems and device-driver development. The general minimum qualifications separately state 4+ years with a bachelor's, 3+ with a master's, or 2+ with a PhD; these thresholds are inconsistent.
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in ECE, EEE, CSE, or a related field is listed in the role-specific qualifications; the general minimum qualifications also allow a related PhD.
- Strong hands-on embedded C, storage technology, OS-kernel and device-driver experience (Linux/Windows/RTOS), including Linux Block Subsystem and I/O schedulers; understanding of block I/O, caches, virtual memory/MMU, and DMA.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- A senior storage-software specialist with practical experience across technologies such as UFS, eMMC, NAND, NVMe, SPI-NOR, and SD/SDIO, and across embedded operating systems.
- Likely to be strongest with direct Linux kernel/block-I/O ownership and system-level debugging, plus experience optimizing storage performance and endurance across platforms.
- Has operated at platform or multi-product scope, influencing architecture across hardware, firmware, and software; mentoring or people leadership and customer-facing issue resolution are useful shortlist signals.
