Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain Linux kernel modules and device drivers for x86-based platforms.
- Support platform bring-up activities and early boot enablement in both presilicon and postsilicon environments.
- Collaborate with SoC design, firmware, and platform teams to define OS and kernel requirements for new hardware features.
- Implement and debug kernel functionality including ACPI integration and hardware interface protocols.
- Backport patches, apply security updates, and maintain stable kernel branches as part of platform productization.
- Contribute patches and enhancements to upstream Linux kernel subsystems when applicable.
- Optimize system performance through power/performance tuning and memory management improvements.
