Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Noronha is a Staff Software Engineer with nine years of experience specializing in embedded and low-level systems, currently working on Qualcomm's Hexagon DSP SDK for mobile, IoT, and compute devices. He combines deep C/C++ expertise with practical experience in Linux kernel modules, ALSA, USB, and device driver development, and has a strong academic foundation with an M.S. in Embedded Systems from the University of Colorado Boulder. His background spans board bring-up, firmware for ARM Cortex-M devices, and high-throughput storage and forensic systems, giving him a rare cross-domain fluency from hardware interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, SATA, SAS) to kernel and user-space integration. At QSC and Logicube he optimized real-time audio and forensic imaging pipelines, cutting latency and scaling I/O performance under strict constraints. Known for tackling lower-system problems and debugging large C codebases, he also contributes to web and scripting layers when needed, demonstrating pragmatic full-stack support for embedded products. Open to relocation, he brings a blend of academic rigor and production-hardened engineering focused on building optimized device drivers and platform software.
