About the Role

The role involves leading and contributing to MIPI SoundWire and SDCA standardization efforts, with a focus on architecture definition for audio codecs, speaker amplifiers, and audio subsystems across Qualcomm platforms.

Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to MIPI SoundWire and SDCA standardization efforts, including active participation in SoundWire Working Group discussions, reviews, and proposals.
• Drive SoundWire and SDCA architecture definition for audio codecs, speaker amplifiers, and audio subsystems across Qualcomm platforms.
• Define and review SoundWire HW-SW interfaces, data/control flows, discovery, enumeration, synchronization, and power management.
• Support end-to-end HW–SW system design, development, prototyping, validation, and commercialization of audio solutions.
• Collaborate with internal algorithm, software, and platform teams to ensure robust, power-efficient, and scalable HW-SW implementations.
• Support customer engagements involving Audio Codec, Speaker Amplifier, debugging, and performance optimization.
• Ability to work effectively in a dynamic, multi-tasked environment.
• Self-starter mindset with strong ownership and accountability.
• Excellent verbal, written, and technical presentation skills.
• Quick learner, self-motivated, able to work independently and as part of a globally distributed team.
• Aspiration for technical excellence and industry leadership.

Qualifications

• Experience ranges from 2 to 7 years
• Solid knowledge of audio interfaces such as SoundWire, I2S, Slimbus, PCM, PDM.
• Solid background in Audio Codec, Speaker Amplifier, and SoundWire-based system architectures.
• Proficiency in end-to-end audio system prototyping and integration.
• Experience with audio codec HW system design (analog, digital, or mixed-signal).
• Understanding of HW–SW co-design, control/data plane interfaces, and embedded system constraints.
• Hands-on experience with audio subsystem bring-up, debugging, and validation on embedded platforms.
• Experience using Audio Precision and codec evaluation platforms.
• Aware of recent trends in audio codec and interface standardization.
• Strong problem-solving skills and system-level thinking.
