Job Description

Looking for an experienced Android Systems Engineer Engineer with expertise in low-level development, hardware bring-up, and Android framework integration. Proficient in C/C++, Linux kernel, device trees, HAL development (HIDL/AIDL), and embedded hardware debugging. Skilled in optimizing system performance, power management, and hardware/software interfaces for diverse mobile platforms.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain Board Support Packages (BSPs) for diverse hardware platforms.
• Integrate and customize vendor BSPs with AOSP, optimizing for power consumption, thermal management, and stability.
• Manage BSP versioning and collaborate with hardware vendors to ensure compatibility across different revisions.
• Develop and maintain Android-specific kernel drivers, including porting and adapting upstream Linux drivers for use cases.
• Optimize kernel configuration and implement power management and thermal control at the kernel level.
• Debug complex kernel-level issues, crashes, and hardware integration problems.
• Design and implement Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) modules to support new hardware features.
• Utilize HIDL/AIDL interfaces to expose hardware capabilities to higher-level Android framework services.
• Maintain, optimize, and debug existing HAL implementations to ensure proper abstraction and compatibility.
• Lead and execute hardware bring-up activities for new device platforms.
• Collaborate with hardware teams on schematic review and validation.
• Optimize overall system performance across the crucial hardware/software interface.

Requirements

• 2+ years of BSP/kernel/HAL development experience.
• Deep BSP development experience, covering bootloader integration, device trees, and hardware initialization.
• Strong Linux kernel expertise, specifically with Android kernel modifications, driver development, and advanced kernel debugging.
• Extensive HAL development experience using HIDL, AIDL, and core hardware abstraction design patterns.
• Proficient in C/C++ for low-level development, kernel modules, and native libraries.
• Proven hardware debugging skills using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG/gdb for embedded systems.
• Expertise in ARM/x86 processor architectures, System-on-Chip (SoC) designs, and cross-compilation toolchains.
• Deep understanding of the Android hardware abstraction architecture and vendor interfaces, including knowledge of Graphics, Camera, Audio, and Sensor HALs.
• Familiarity with Android's power management framework, thermal policies, and security model (e.g., verified boot).
• Hands-on experience with the AOSP build system, vendor integration, and device manufacturing/factory testing processes.
