Key Responsibilities

- Design and implement OS kernel/core architecture and hardware-abstraction layers.
- Own process/thread scheduling, memory management, IPC, power states, boot flow and system services.
- Define OS interfaces required by the Snapdragon 8 Elite platform.
- Build secure boot, update, recovery and system-integrity mechanisms with the security architecture.
- Work closely with the BSP/driver engineer on hardware enablement.
- Design multi-panel resource management and foundations for seamless phone/workstation modes.
- Establish performance, reliability, logging and crash-diagnostics infrastructure.

Required Technical Skills

- Strong C/C++ systems programming
- ARM64 architecture and low-level debugging
- Kernel/RTOS/Linux/QNX or comparable OS internals
- Bootloaders, device trees/firmware concepts and IPC
- Memory management, scheduling and power management
- Git, CI/CD, debugging and hardware bring-up





Prototype Success Criteria

- OS core boots reliably on target hardware.
- Core services operate with stable IPC, memory and power management.
- System supports the Quence three-panel architecture at the OS level.
- Secure boot, recovery and update mechanisms are implemented.
- Performance and crash diagnostics are measurable and repeatable.

Preferred / Advantageous Experience

- ARM64/Snapdragon experience is strongly preferred.
- Experience with a recent OS, embedded Linux, Android framework internals, QNX or similar is valuable.
- Must be comfortable working directly with hardware engineers and undocumented/partially documented platform
