Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDilip Gudlur is a Senior Staff Engineer based in San Diego with 14 years of experience building platform software for ADAS/AD systems. At Qualcomm since 2012 he leads engineering efforts spanning embedded power management, SoC-specific optimizations, and production-grade platform software. His background includes hands-on Android power subsystem work—contributions to Qualcomm device support in CyanogenMod show deep expertise tuning CPU frequency, core use, and display/video/camera power hints for multiple MSM/APQ chips. Trained at Carnegie Mellon, he blends research-informed approaches with pragmatic product delivery and mentors teams to turn complex hardware-software interactions into robust, efficient systems. Not obvious from titles alone: he’s equally comfortable in low-level kernel/firmware contexts and in shaping higher-level AD software requirements for safety-critical platforms.
