DSP-SDK Lead

Job Description

Job Requirements Key Responsibilities : DSP SDK Development Develop, maintain, and optimize?DSP SDK components, including: Hexagon runtime libraries DSP-side APIs and frameworks RPC/IPC communication layers Drivers and services for DSP subsystems (ADSP, CDSP, SLPI) Build and enhance?DSP development tools?(debug, profiling, loading, tracing). Support?on-target debugging, simulation environments, and performance analysis tools. Subsystem Integration & Validation Work closely with Firmware, Audio, Camera, Sensors, AI, and Modem teams to integrate SDK modules. Validate SDK functionality on: QDSP6-based DSPs Android/Linux platforms Bare-metal and RTOS setups Debug low-level issues related to: DSP boot RPC failures Memory configuration DSP Apps communication Performance bottlenecks Optimization & Performance Optimize DSP libraries for: Throughput and latency Memory footprint Power efficiency Multi-threaded/parallel execution Use profiling tools (QDSS, QPST, trace tools) to tune DSP performance. Developer Support & Documentation Provide guidance to internal teams on using DSP SDK features. Develop technical documentation, sample code, and best practices for OEMs and internal partners. Work closely with tools and compiler teams to improve development workflows. Work Experience Required Skills Strong understanding of: DSP architecture (preferably Qualcomm Hexagon/QDSP6) Embedded systems concepts (RTOS, memory, IPC, boot flows) Multi-core and heterogeneous compute frameworks Experience in: C/C++ programming DSP programming/optimization Linux/Android development environments IPC frameworks (RPC, FastRPC, QMI) Proficiency with debugging tools such as: QXDM, QDSS, JTAG Profiling and trace utilities Log analysis tools Good To Have Experience With Hexagon SDK or equivalent DSP SDKs FastDSP, FastRPC, and Qualcomm subsystem frameworks Low-power design or Always-On DSP pipelines Multimedia pipelines (Audio, Imaging, AR/VR) AI/ML acceleration on DSP Exposure to: Firmware development Build systems (Scons, CMake, Android build) Python for automation Soft Skills:? Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration.? Leadership in technical decision-making.? Ability to translate complex hardware/software constraints into practical solutions.? Mentorship and technical coaching for junior engineers.
