Embedded Display Software Engineer (Qualcomm Snapdragon AR/XR)

Job Requirements

At Quest Global, it’s not just what we do but how and why we do it that makes us different. With over 25 years as an engineering services provider, we believe in the power of doing things differently to make the impossible possible. Our people are driven by the desire to make the world a better place—to make a positive difference that contributes to a brighter future. We bring together technologies and industries, alongside the contributions of diverse individuals who are empowered by an intentional workplace culture, to solve problems better and faster.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to lead the hardware bring-up and low-level software enablement of our next-generation Augmented Reality (AR) platform. In this role, you will be at the absolute forefront of wearable computing, bridging the gap between cutting-edge silicon and advanced spatial computing frameworks.

Your primary responsibility will be the foundational bring-up of our AR hardware platform using Android XR. You will architect, develop, and debug kernel-space drivers, optimize critical display pipelines, and ensure seamless communication across high-speed interfaces like MIPI and QSPI. If you thrive on solving complex low-level engineering challenges to make immersive hardware a commercial reality, we want to talk to you.

Core Responsibilities

Platform Bring-up: Lead the low-level software bring-up of advanced AR platforms using the Android XR operating system on Qualcomm Snapdragon architecture.

Driver Development: Architect and write robust Linux/Android kernel-space display drivers utilizing the DRM/KMS framework.

Subsystem Integration: Configure and optimize the Android display subsystem (SurfaceFlinger, Hardware Composer) to meet strict AR latency and frame-rate targets.

Interface Enablement: Implement, tune, and validate high-speed protocols including MIPI DSI and QSPI for micro-display panels and peripherals.

Hardware/Software Debugging: Collaborate closely with the hardware engineering team to isolate and resolve signal integrity issues, power sequencing anomalies, and bus protocol bugs.

Required Technical Skills

Qualcomm Ecosystem: Direct, hands-on experience with Qualcomm Snapdragon processors, with a strong preference for dedicated wearable/spatial computing chipsets (e.g., AR1, XR2 Series).
