Key Responsibilities

1. System Architecture & Design

• Lead the design of display subsystems for complex embedded platforms (e.g., automotive clusters, IVI, HMIs, consumer electronics).
• Evaluate LVDS, MIPI-DSI, eDP, or similar interfaces and choose optimal architecture based on bandwidth, cost, EMI, and performance constraints.

2. Hardware-Software Integration

• Work closely with hardware/software engineering to define display timing parameters, power sequencing, and board-level design requirements.
• Collaborate with embedded software teams to optimize graphics drivers, display controller initialization, and boot-time behavior.
• Define system performance KPIs: frame rate, latency, tearing avoidance, brightness, color accuracy, and thermal behavior.

3. Technology Evaluation & Innovation

• Conduct feasibility studies for new display technologies: OLED, mini-LED, micro-LED, TFT, IPS, LTPS, etc.
• Evaluate touch and cover-glass technologies for integration impacts.
• Drive selection of display modules, TCONs, external display drivers, and serializer/deserializer links.
• Benchmark graphics frameworks: OpenGL ES, Vulkan, Qt/QML, Kanzi, Unity, custom compositor pipelines.

4. Safety, Reliability & Compliance

• Ensure display system complies with automotive safety standards (ISO 26262), EMC/EMI, and environmental requirements.
• Define diagnostics, fault detection, redundancy, and graceful-degradation strategies.
• Work with cybersecurity teams to ensure secure communication between display subsystems.

5. Cross-Functional Leadership

• Create architecture documents, design guidelines, and system requirement specifications.
• Support program management with technical evaluations, risk assessments, and supplier negotiations.
• Lead display bring-up, validation, image quality tuning, and performance optimization.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong understanding of display technologies (LCD/OLED), timing control, color science, luminance curves, and image processing.
• Expertise in display interfaces: LVDS, MIPI-DSI/CSI-2, FPD-Link, eDP, HDMI.
• Familiarity with GPU/Display controllers: ARM Mali, Imagination, Qualcomm, Renesas, TI, NXP, Infineon Traveo II, etc.
• Experience with embedded systems using ARM Cortex-A/R/M architectures.
• Strong knowledge of graphics pipelines, composition engines, shader-based rendering, and memory bandwidth calculation.
• Experience with RTOS/Linux/Android-based middleware.
• Proficiency in C, C++, display drivers, and debugging tools (Oscilloscope, Logic Analyzer).

Domain Knowledge

• Automotive HMI / Instrument Cluster / IVI experience is highly preferred.
• Knowledge of ASIL requirements and functional safety design.

Experience

• 8–15 years of experience in embedded systems, graphics, or display technologies.
• At least 3–5 years specifically in display system architecture or lead display engineering.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Experience with display bring-up on automotive MCUs (e.g., Traveo II, Renesas R-Car, NXP i.MX).
• Experience with CAN/LIN/Ethernet communication integration for display data.
• Understanding of boot-time optimization for fast-boot display systems.
