The role focuses on Android Open-Source Project (AOSP) platform development and customization, including Android Framework, system services, native components, hardware abstraction layers (HAL), platform integration, and the underlying Linux platform. The engineer works across the Android software stack to bring up new hardware platforms, integrate device-specific functionality, diagnose system-level issues, optimize performance and reliability, and ensure platform compatibility. The role may also involve Linux kernel configuration, device drivers, networking, security, and supporting software required for embedded Android products. What you will be doing: * Develop, customize, integrate, and maintain AOSP platform software for embedded and custom hardware platforms. * Perform Android platform bring-up and porting , including integration across the Android Framework, system services, native components, HAL, Linux kernel, and device specific software. * Develop and modify Android Framework components, system services, native services, and platform-level functionality. * Develop and integrate HAL interfaces using AIDL/HIDL , JNI/native components, and hardware specific services as required. * Diagnose and resolve system-level issues involving Android Framework, system services, process lifecycle, boot, IPC/Binder, networking, multimedia, storage, security, and hardware integration. * Analyze and resolve failures identified through the Android Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) and other applicable platform validation and certification tests. * Configure, integrate, and debug the Linux kernel, device drivers, BSP components, boot processes, and hardware interfaces when required for platform bring-up. * Design, implement, integrate, test, debug, and optimize software based on product, system, and functional requirements. * Analyze system performance, stability, resource utilization, and software behavior to improve reliability, efficiency, boot performance, and runtime performance. * Develop software tools, automation, and test utilities that improve development, debugging, integration, validation, and software reuse. * Use AI-assisted development tools effectively for activities such as code generation, code analysis, debugging, refactoring, test development, documentation, and engineering problem solving, while independently validating generated results for correctness, security, performance, and maintainability. * Perform code reviews and participate in architecture, design, and interface reviews. * Develop and maintain engineering documentation, including architecture/design descriptions, interface specifications, test plans, and technical documentation. * Collaborate with hardware, platform, application, validation, security, and other engineering teams to resolve complex cross-functional issues. * Support system integration and validation, analyze test results and field issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement robust corrective actions. * Maintain software throughout the product lifecycle using established software configuration management, CI/CD, code review, and engineering practices.
