· Create and maintain build scripts to optimize the build generation process.

· Manage software configuration using version control system ( e.g. Perforce or GIT or Github etc.)

· Announce and release new software baselines.

Product Software Sanity Testing:

· Sanity test the incremental builds to catch any regression issues due to new integration tasks. This testing happens on-target devices, simulators and reference platforms.

· Debug any sanity test failures. This requires understanding of common on-target debugging tools such as JTAG, ADB , simulators, log analysis etc.

· Create scripts to automate the test scenarios and process logs.

· Create test plans to cover test coverage for new features being enabled through software integration cycles.

· Collaborate for design and code-reviews with other technical & business team members.
