Description
Develop and enhance features in the Linux Kernel, particularly in areas such as virtualization (KVM), scheduling, and memory management (IOMMU). Optimize power and performance management technologies like DVFS for next-generation ARM-based systems. Collaborate with cross-disciplinary teams to ensure the successful delivery of high-performance, scalable software solutions. Debug and resolve complex software issues using tools like JTAG debuggers. Drive improvements in system software for ARMv8 and ARMv9 based platforms. Analyze system requirements, understand and propose corresponding system architecture. Create and maintain technical documentation for system architecture, requirements, and development processes. Pre-Silicon Development on the FPGA based platform and QEMU. Leverages expert Security knowledge and experience to achieve highly critical engineering business objectives. Develops highly critical new hardware and software security features and updates features into existing products; leads team to ensure security of all products is maintained throughout the product lifecycle. Serves as a technical expert for performing highly advanced security assessments and evaluation of company products, including vulnerability and risk assessments, threat analysis, and security code reviews to identify potential design and implementation vulnerabilities. Develops highly critical security architectures and designs for products and sub-systems and leads cross-organizational teams to adopt and implement them. Identifies and drives remediation for security risks and vulnerabilities, responds to product security incidents, and collaborates with high-level customers and stakeholders regarding product security related issues. Serves as a technical expert for the development and deployment of highly critical processes, trainings, and tools that result in secure product development. Provides supervision to direct reports. Decision-making is significant in nature and affects work beyond immediate work group. Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey complex information.
