About Mukul Jain

With over two decades in embedded systems and product software development, I\'ve led globally distributed teams (Hyderabad, U.S, Poland, Germany) to deliver high-reliability drivers, multimedia encoders, and scalable automation pipelines in fast-paced environments.At Intel India (Senior Software Engineering Manager since 2019), I led 15+ engineer teams delivering oneAPI compiler VS IDE extensions and end-to-end CI/CD validation automation from scratch—reducing validation cycles by ~40%, achieving 95%+ test coverage (LKG, RQ, graphics/multimedia), and optimizing GPU resource utilization by 35%+ through custom distributed allocation systems (Angular/TypeScript/Bootstrap frontend + backend). I hire, onboard, mentor engineers into leads, conduct deep code reviews, and foster DevOps cultures that drive accountability and innovation.At Qualcomm (Staff Engineer/Manager, 2009–2019), I managed 12–20 engineer teams developing Windows/Linux-compatible multimedia drivers and HEVC hardware encoders for Snapdragon chipsets—owning end-to-end programs from requirements to certification (100% conformance + Skype/MLVEC success), optimizing power/performance (DCVS, clock/bus management for 20%+ efficiency), and building automated test frameworks (CRC-based validation, encoder tools) that boosted coverage to 90%+ and cut issue resolution time by 50%. Extensive hands-on with SOC bring-up, pre-silicon support, and cross-site coordination (Hyderabad/U.S.).Earlier roles at AMD and Samsung honed embedded multimedia frameworks (OpenMAX IL) and on-site global customer enablement.I\'m a player-coach at heart—still writing code (C/C++, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript), unblocking teams, and enforcing high standards—while scaling people and processes. My experience in high-reliability, performance-critical embedded systems (video processing, real-time optimization, rigorous validation) aligns closely with life-impacting healthcare technologies like respiratory care devices.Core strengths:*Embedded leadership (drivers, SOC bring-up, power optimization, real-time systems)*Team building & mentoring (0→1 hiring, coaching, culture of innovation & accountability)*Automation & quality (CI/CD pipelines, test frameworks, metrics-driven delivery)*Global/cross-functional execution (stakeholder alignment, risk mitigation, agile/DevOps)*Generative AI tools (GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) for productivity.

Experience

1. Sr Software Engineering Manager

   Intel

   Jan 2024 — Present · Hyderabad, IN

   Built and led IDE plugin development team from scratch across geo for oneAPI project in Intel. Transitioned the developmentand test infrastructure for the project. Developed and release the deliverables on time by meeting release quality requirements.• Designed, developed, and deployed the oneAPI Product Validation test automation tool to integrate with to CI/CD pipelines.The automation tool generates the test configurations to validate oneAPI products as per the test requirement matrix, which hasimproved the test coverage with improved validation accuracy by recording the test stages for each jobs.• Led development of internal web-hosted tool to utilize the large farms of Intel GPU devices across geo. This is to help GPUresource utilization, by providing reservation, easy search with various device properties. Implemented frontend UI interface for the same.
