  • Development Tools & AI: Excellent design and code development skills using modern software tools and techniques for development and debugging — including commercial AI tools (Copilot, Claude, etc.) to boost development productivity and the ability to develop AI agents to automate development workflows
  • Analytical Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • GPU & Power Management: Experience with graphics, display or power management driver, preferably on a Windows based system
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
