Design and implement customer-required platform features and solutions.
Develop applications and critical infrastructure improvements for Cygnus-based platforms.
Lead technical efforts from design through completion.
Convert ambiguous requirements into trackable engineering work items and drive them to closure.
Build robust diagnostics, counters, telemetry hooks, and automation to replace fragile one-off scripts.
Integrate software into CI/CD pipelines and at-scale automation to keep bring-up cycles fast, repeatable, and auditable.
Debug initialization and bring-up issues using on-chip traces, lab instrumentation, logs, and custom tools.
Partner with vendors, ASIC architects, hardware designers, NOS/platform teams, and cross-functional software teams.

Ability to independently drive technical work in a fast-paced environment.
Ability to translate ambiguous requirements into clear execution plans and trackable engineering deliverables.
Strong collaboration skills across hardware, software, ASIC, vendor, and platform teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
Experience with Compilers, BSP, SDK, NOS/platform integration, register-level programming, or low-level bring-up.
Experience building diagnostics, telemetry, counters, or validation infrastructure.
CI/CD pipelines, lab automation, or large-scale test automation.
