Product Delivery Leadership: Lead the end-to-end delivery of the Linux software stack for IoT chipsets from initial bring-up to commercial launch (CS/Mass Production). Release Management: Define release criteria, manage software integration windows, and approve final software quality for customer delivery. Issue Resolution & Triage: Lead the debugging and triage of critical system-level issues (crashes, performance degradation, stability gaps) and drive them to closure by coordinating with specific technology teams (Kernel, Display, Camera, etc.). Risk Management: Identify technical risks in the software roadmap (e.g., feature delays, stability concerns) and propose mitigation plans to Program Management and Executive Leadership. Cross-Functional Coordination: Act as the primary technical interface between the Linux Development team, Customer Engineering, and Test/Validation teams. System Optimization: Drive system-level KPIs, including boot time, memory footprint, and power consumption, ensuring the final product meets competitive targets. Team Leadership: Mentor junior PEs, define processes for efficient triage/integration, and lead "War Room" situations for critical blockers. Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field. Experience: 12+ years of Software Engineering experience, with a focus on Embedded Linux or Android.
