System Software Engineer / Product Engineer

Job Title System Software Engineer / Product Engineer (Hybrid Role)

Role Summary

TheSystem Software Engineer / PEis a hybrid engineering role responsible forsystem software governance, platform integration, and end-to-end quality, performance, and process excellence.

This role bridgeshands-on technical execution(BIOS, firmware, OS, drivers) withquality and engineering functions, ensuring high-quality system software delivery across platforms and ODMs.

The engineer works cross-functionally withBIOS, EC, OS, driver teams, hardware, validation, ODMs, and suppliersto driverobust design, efficient development processes, and measurable quality outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• 1. System Software Engineering
  • Design, develop, integrate, and debugsystem software components, including:
    • OS-level components and platform enabling drivers
    • Hardware abstraction and system-level integrations
  • Analyze system-level issues acrosshardware, firmware, OS, and drivers, and drive root-cause resolution.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and ODM partners ondesign reviews and integration readiness.
  • Support platform bring-up, feature enablement, and sustaining activities across multiple product generations.
  • Ensure compliance with system software standards, security requirements, and release criteria.
• 2. Product Engineering (PE)
  • Define, optimize, and enforceend-to-end system software development and release processesacross projects.
  • Driveprocess standardization, documentation, and governanceto improve predictability, efficiency, and quality.
  • Lead process gap analysis and corrective actions for recurring issues (e.g. late defects, rework, integration escapes).
  • Partner with validation, SIT, and ODM teams to ensureclear ownership, entry/exit criteria, and quality gates.
  • Enable scalable execution by translating complex requirements intorepeatable workflows and checklists.
• 3. Cross-Functional & ODM Collaboration
  • Act as a technical interface between engineering teams and ODM partners.
  • Lead technical discussions, issue triage, and joint debug sessions across time zones.
  • Provide clear, data-driven communication onstatus, risks, and mitigation plansto stakeholders.

Qualifications

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree inComputer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
• Typically,3–8+ yearsof experience in system software, firmware, OS, or platform engineering roles.

Technical Skills

• Strong understanding ofsystem software architectureand platform integration.
  • Hands-on experience with one or more:
    • Windows or Linux OS internals
    • Device drivers or hardware-enabling software
  • Solid debugging skills across hardware–firmware–OS boundaries.
  • Knowledge of industry interfaces and protocols (e.g. PCIe, USB, I2C) is a plus.

Process & Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset with aprocess-driven approach.
• Ability to work independently and lead initiatives with minimal supervision.
