Senior Software Engineer

Dec 2022 – Nov 2024 · 1 yr 11 mos

I have worked on user mode drivers for the Qualcomm® Adreno™ GPU leveraging DirectX for the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 8cx Compute Platform(X Elite and others), which plays a crucial role in enabling Windows on Snapdragon® devices.
My work involved extensive contributions to DirectX 12, where I participated in the entire process from device bring-up to enhancing Windows hardware compatibility testing. This included identifying and resolving critical issues such as graphics corruption, system hangs, page faults, and Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) errors.
I also worked closely on the implementation of the render-pass and sub-pass features within DirectX 12, optimizing rendering performance and improving resource management. Additionally, I took an active role in root-causing various stability issues, collaborating with OEMs to address specific challenges related to Windows on Snapdragon platforms, ensuring a seamless user experience.

Extensive experience in C/C++ (11/14/17), shell scripting, Python, and RT-Linux. Collaborated with European clients, including Audi, in the cluster domain (Cockpit) using a SAFE Agile model.
Contributed to the development of various modules from the ground up, including unit master, Audio HMI synchronization (belt warning and indicators), board computer functionalities (resets, trip time, trip distance, average speed, average consumption), lap timer, speed management, and driving warning systems. Utilized multiple IPC mechanisms such as SOME/IP, sockets, and RSI/ASI (framework over D-Bus).
Performed unit testing with GTest/GMock and conducted static analysis using the LDRA tool. Utilized GDB and Valgrind for core dump analysis and memory leak detection.
Created design documents, including class diagrams, component diagrams, object diagrams, sequence diagrams, and use case diagrams, ensuring traceability with requirements using the Rhapsody tool. Managed repositories with Stash and tracked requirements updates in DOORS. Employed ALM for project management and task updates across different sprints.
Assisted the integration team by developing shell scripts for unit test automation across all modules. Supported Level 1/2 ASPICE audits by creating Python scripts to extract test codes and link them to requirements.
Used the CANoe simulation tool for testing and simulating various ECUs, and implemented CAN Ethernet protocol for communication. Gained hands-on experience with hardware components such as GED boards, edge connectors, and debugging tools.
