• Guide the design, porting, and seamless integration of Switch Network Operating System Drivers and Application Abstraction Layers (AAL), including Realtek, Marvell, or Broadcom SDKs/AALs.
• Oversee the implementation and stability improvement of I2C/SPI/UART interface drivers by supporting communication protocol testing and hardware interface validation.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional product and project teams to complete system software design tasks, optimise performance and reliability, and develop robust pre-production testing plans along with failure analysis mechanisms.
• Establish best practices for version control and development processes using tools such as Git, JIRA, CI pipelines, Yocto, or Buildroot; promote adherence to technical documentation standards and design specifications across the team.
• Provide empathetic team management by supporting individual growth, managing scheduling risks effectively, and ensuring timely delivery of all project deliverables.
• Champion open communication channels between departments to facilitate smooth technical exchanges and foster an environment of mutual respect.
