Jaideep Sharma

Staff-level C++ Systems Engineer with 13+ years leading Android system-software architecture, specializing in AOSP Audio Frameworks (AudioFlinger, AudioTrack, AudioPolicyManager), Audio HAL, and low-level platform components. Track record of owning cross-org technical migrations end-to-end from architecture design through OEM/vendor alignment to shipped compliance and of mentoring engineers on framework internals. Looking to bring deep systems ownership and cross-functional technical leadership to a Staff/Principal IC role.

Software Engineer at META (2026-04 – 2026-06)

• Worked on Audio Framework and HAL for Android-based smart glass platforms as part of the Wearables Audio team.

Staff Engineer at QUALCOMM (2019-06 – 2026-03)

• Led design and development of AIDL migration across SoundTrigger, Audio Effects HAL, and custom Qualcomm HALs, increasing modularity and IPC performance and setting the migration pattern adopted across the audio HAL codebase.
• Owned offload play speed support in Audio HAL, enabling DSP-handled playback speed adjustments shipped across Qualcomm chipset generations.
• Drove conversion of legacy Android.mk builds to the Soong Build System, delivering hermetic builds and reducing build complexity for the audio subsystem.
• Directed CTS, VTS, GTS, STS compliance testing optimization, cutting test runtime 80% (150 min to 30 min) and unblocking faster release cycles for downstream OEM teams.
• Scoped and delivered audio feature upgrades from Android P through Android 15, including direct contributions to the AOSP codebase, coordinating priorities across framework and HAL teams.

Software Engineer at SAMSUNG RESEARCH INSTITUTE (2013-06 – 2019-05)

• Led Android Go device bring-ups, porting lightweight Samsung audio solutions (NXP Effects, SoundBooster) and reducing audioserver RAM usage 50% and Audio Framework ROM usage 60%.
• Designed and implemented the AudioEffect SDK, enabling third-party developers to integrate Samsung's SoundAlive and Adapt Sound features across the device portfolio.
• Developed the Split Sound feature, enabling simultaneous playback of two independent audio streams to separate output devices (e.g., Bluetooth and speaker).
• Built the Audio Usecase Simulator, an internal Android debugging app used across teams to triage network, region, and app-specific audio issues in playback, recording, and VoIP scenarios.
• Supported audio bring-ups from Android KitKat through Android R, configuring Audio HAL across Qualcomm, Exynos, and Broadcom chipsets and boards.

Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Technology – Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal, India (2009-07 – 2013-06)
