Job description

  • Drive the end-to-end bringup, integration, and validation of WiFi functionality on advanced

embedded WiFi hardware, ensuring optimal performance and stability from the ground up.

  • Architect, develop, and port complex WiFi drivers to operate efficiently and robustly, specifically

tailored for a virtualized Android environment.

  • Strategically optimize WiFi performance, throughput, latency, power efficiency, and reliability

across the entire stack - from hardware interaction through the hypervisor to the application

layer.

  • Conduct in-depth, multi-layered system debugging and root cause analysis for complex issues

spanning physical WiFi hardware, drivers (frontend and backend), the hypervisor, Linux kernel

and Android operating system.

  • Ensure robust and seamless WiFi access and full functionality for Android applications within the

virtualized environment, meticulously addressing any virtualization-specific challenges and

ensuring compliance with Android's networking stack and WiFi HAL.

  • Contribute to the architectural design and evolution of the automotive WiFi software stack,
