Senior Display Engineer

GENERAL SUMMARY: 

Designs and develops display software solutions for Qualcomm IE-IOT SoC platforms, supporting applications such as surveillance, smart devices, retail systems, robotics, and edge AI in the physical world systems. This role focuses on end-to-end display software stack development across Linux and RTOS, enabling high-performance, low-power, and real-time display experiences in heterogeneous edge computing environments. 

PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:  

• Designs and implements the display software stack across Linux and RTOS. 

• Develops scalable solutions for heterogeneous SoC architectures. 

• Owns the display pipeline from low-level driver to system integration. 

• Develops and maintains Linux display software, including Linux kernel display drivers, DRM/KMS framework, framebuffer, and panel drivers, as well as Wayland, X Window system, and LVGL support. 

• Integrates across bootloader, kernel, and user space in embedded Linux environments. 

• Supports industry-standard interfaces such as MIPI DSI, SPI, and I2C. 

• Optimizes display software for high-throughput workloads and AI/camera coexistence. 

• Supports display bring-up and integration across IE-IOT platforms for surveillance, smart devices, retail, robotics, and edge AI systems. 

• Collaborates with hardware teams and panel vendors to support validation and productization. 

• Optimizes display pipelines for low power consumption, real-time responsiveness, and high bandwidth efficiency. 

• Performs cross-layer debugging across RTOS, Linux, and hardware. 

• Analyzes kernel logs, tracing data, IPC and synchronization issues, and interface-level signal problems. 

• Drives root cause resolution in multi-core systems. 

• Contributes to software architecture decisions for display subsystems. 

REQUIRED COMPETENCIES:  

• Analytical Skills – Ability to collect information and identify patterns and trends in data; ability to gather, integrate, and interpret information from multiple sources to support technical and business decisions. 

• Communication – Ability to convey information clearly and accurately and select the most effective communication method; uses technically sound oral and written communication with teams, stakeholders, and executive leadership. 

• Getting Organized – Ability to plan, organize, and execute work effectively; manages multiple tasks, uses resources efficiently, and anticipates obstacles. 

• Time Management – Ability to prioritize mission-critical work and focus on the most valuable tasks while deferring lower-priority work. 

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:  

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. 

• 5+ years of experience in display software or driver development. 

• 5+ years of experience in embedded systems using Linux or RTOS. 

• Strong expertise in C/C++ programming. 

• Strong experience in Linux kernel development, including DRM/KMS. 

• Solid understanding of display pipeline and system architecture. 

• Knowledge of MIPI DSI, SPI, I2C, timing, synchronization, and bandwidth optimization. 

• Working knowledge of the Qualcomm IE-IOT software stack, QLI, and the Qualcomm MSM software stack. 

• Experience working with a SoC design house. 

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS: 

• Familiarity with IPC technologies such as RPMsg, shared memory, and mailbox. 

• Experience in IP camera systems. 

• Experience in industrial IoT or robotics. 

• Experience in surveillance or camera-plus-display systems. 

• Experience in industrial or embedded display solutions.
