  • Solid background in operating system internals, device drivers, and real-time embedded operating systems.
  • Experience with algorithms and data structures.
  • Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills.
  • Ability to achieve objectives under tight deadlines.

Responsibilities

  • Define, proof of concept, design, and develop display features based on VESA Display Port standards like DP 2.1, HDMI, and eDP.
  • Drive and resolve complex optimization strategies independently across multiple teams and technical disciplines.
  • Influence next-generation GPU/SoC and Platform architecture by creating internal architecture specifications and design specifications.
