Roles and Responsibilities :

Embedded Linux Kernel & Driver Development :

- Design, develop, and maintain Linux kernel drivers and subsystems across various domains such as graphics, multimedia, display, audio, power, networking, and IPC.

- Implement kernel-mode functionalities, handle driver bring-up, and ensure seamless integration with embedded hardware platforms.

- Contribute to patch development, kernel configuration, and subsystem enhancements required for product features and performance.

Graphics, Display & Multimedia Driver Development :

- Develop and optimize graphics drivers involving DRM/KMS, OpenGL, Vulkan, OpenCL, and Mesa frameworks.

- Work on multimedia/video pipeline elements, including V4L2, VAAPI, VDPAU, GStreamer, and platform-specific rendering/encoding modules.

- Implement and debug display drivers for X11, Wayland, Weston, and other compositor/display frameworks.

- Ensure smooth integration of rendering, display, and video processing pipelines across kernel and user-space components.

Audio Subsystem Development :

- Develop and refine audio drivers and frameworks within the ALSA SoC (ASoC) architecture.

- Work with audio protocols (e.g., I2S, TDM) and configure audio pipelines for embedded platforms.

- Debug issues in audio routing, latency, streaming quality, and power optimization within the audio subsystem.

Power Management & System Optimization :

- Develop and validate low-power features such as Suspend-to-RAM, S0ix, and platform-specific power states.

- Work closely with hardware teams to tune clock, power domains, and performance states for optimal system operation.

- Analyze power-related system issues and optimize driver-level implementations for reduced consumption.

Networking & Peripheral Driver Development :

- Develop and maintain Ethernet/network drivers, ensuring compliance with kernel networking frameworks.

- Work with DMA engines, IPC mechanisms, and peripheral bus interfaces to enable reliable data transfer and inter-module communication.

- Debug and enhance driver-level functionalities for throughput, stability, and error resilience.

Yocto-Based Embedded Linux Development

- Create and maintain Yocto recipes, layers, patches, and configurations for customized embedded Linux distributions.

- Integrate kernel, bootloader, and middleware components into Yocto-based builds.

- Optimize build systems and ensure reproducibility for production releases.

Virtualization Support :

- Develop and maintain drivers and kernel components compatible with hypervisors such as Xen, KVM, or QNX Hypervisor.

- Ensure proper virtualization support for I/O, memory, device passthrough, and security domains.

- Debug virtualization-related driver issues, performance bottlenecks, and interrupt routing.

System Debugging & Root Cause Analysis :

- Perform deep system debugging using tools like ftrace, perf, gdb, kgdb, strace, and kernel logs (dmesg).

- Diagnose complex issues that span kernel, hardware, user space, and firmware interactions.

- Optimize system performance, memory usage, interrupt handling, and boot-time behavior.

Open Source Collaboration :

- Contribute patches to the Linux kernel or related open-source components.

- Participate in community reviews, respond to feedback, and align internal developments with upstream guidelines.

- Maintain documentation and follow best practices for open-source compliance.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Documentation :

- Work closely with hardware, firmware, BSP, system architects, and application teams during design, bring-up, and validation.

- Prepare technical documentation, driver specifications, debugging guides, and patch descriptions.

- Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and architecture planning to ensure robust driver
