• Write and maintain detailed documentation:
  SoC boot flow, software initialization sequences, register‑level programming guides, and integration checklists.
• Review, analyze, and translate customer requirements for embedded software products and systems.
• Drive software execution to deliver products on‑cost and on‑schedule.
• Produce design and test documentation and artifacts.
• Design and write custom tools to support configuration automation and improve development.

• Lead design, development and test of low‑level software to initialize devices for board bring‑up.
• Assign tasks, guide and verify work of junior software engineers.
• Gather user requirements and decompose into software architecture and design.
