Senior Design Lead

Job Summary

Pod 2 — Coretech — Senior Engineer
Pod / Track    Pod 2 — Coretech
Role Title    Senior Engineer — Core Platform Software (Bootloader, Power Management & Kernel Core)
Experience    5 – 8 years
Primary Location    Hyderabad, India (Transition phase); HCLTech Offshore Delivery Center thereafter
Work Model    Physical co-location at Hyderabad mandatory during Transition (Month 1–3) for knowledge transfer and hardware/lab access; delivery shifts to HCLTech's Offshore Delivery Center (ODC) from Shadow (Month 4–6) onward.
Role Summary
Execute core platform software sustenance tasks — bootloader, power management and core kernel work — reporting to the Pod Lead.
Key Responsibilities
•    Implement and validate fixes for bootloader, power management, clock/regulator and core kernel defects.
•    Implement fixes for peripheral driver, memory driver, and DSP/NPU firmware defects within the SoC infrastructure layer.
•    Debug SoC bring-up issues, power sequencing failures, and core driver regressions.
•    Execute BSP core-layer validation against new chipset/firmware releases.
•    Support customer escalations requiring core platform expertise.
Must-Have Skills
•    5–8 years SoC bring-up or core platform software engineering.
•    C, ARM architecture fundamentals.
•    Linux kernel core subsystems.
•    Power management frameworks (RPM/RPMh, clock/regulator).
•    Bootloader development.
•    JTAG / hardware debugger tooling.
•    Non-HLOS/RTOS firmware and SoC infrastructure experience — peripheral drivers, memory drivers, DSP/NPU firmware.
Good-to-Have Skills
•    Hypervisor/virtualization exposure (Xen, Gunyah or equivalent).
•    Upstream Linux kernel contribution history.
•    Functional-safety or industrial temperature-range product experience.
•    Bring-up experience across more than one SoC family/generation.
•    Exposure to multiple firmware toolchains across DSP/NPU subsystems beyond the main applications processor.
