• Develop and integrate vehicle-oriented features such as navigation, climate control, telephony, and media.

• Work across different layers of the Android platform, including BSP, kernel, device drivers, framework services, and applications.

• Implement and integrate Android platform components using technologies such as AIDL and HAL.

• Develop and integrate Vehicle HAL (VHAL) to enable communication between Android and vehicle systems.

• Troubleshoot and optimize Android boot, build, and system integration processes.

Infotainment & System Integration

• Contribute to the development and customization of automotive infotainment UI/UX.

• Integrate Android framework components and third-party software into the target platform.

• Perform system validation and certification testing using Android compliance frameworks such as CTS and VTS/xTS.

• Configure and maintain SELinux policies for automotive Android platforms.

• Collaborate with OEM partners and support platform certification requirements, including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration.

System Performance & Vehicle Platform

• Monitor and improve overall Android system performance, stability, and resource utilization.

• Support OTA update mechanisms and related platform management activities.

• Work on centralized vehicle computing architectures, including digital clusters and Android platforms running on hypervisors such as QNX or ZEN, where applicable.

• Collaborate with hardware, BSP, middleware, and vehicle integration teams to resolve platform-level issues.

Safety & Cybersecurity

• Support development activities related to automotive cybersecurity and functional safety.

• Apply relevant automotive standards and engineering methodologies, including ISO 21434, ISO 26262, and FMEA.

• Contribute to security hardening and safety-related platform requirements throughout the software lifecycle.

Requirements

• 3–8+ years of professional experience in Android platform, embedded Android, or automotive software development.

• Strong interest and passion for automotive technology and software development.

• Solid programming skills in C/C++, Java, and Python.

• Good understanding of embedded software development, including BSP, compilers, debugging, and low-level system analysis.

• Experience with debugging tools such as Lauterbach and GDB.

• Familiarity with Git/Gerrit, CI/CD, and DevOps practices.

• Good understanding of operating systems, RTOS, multithreading, and concurrency.

• Knowledge of automotive development standards such as ISO 26262 and ISO 21434.

• Familiarity with automotive communication and diagnostic tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, or Wireshark.

• Understanding of communication technologies and protocols including TCP/UDP, CAN, LIN, SPI, and related interfaces.

• Strong knowledge of Android Framework and Android Platform architecture, including:

  • BSP / Kernel

  • AIDL

  • HAL

  • SELinux

  • Android build system

  • Android boot process

  • Framework and system services

• Experience with automotive SoC platforms, particularly Qualcomm, NXP, or equivalent.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Self-motivated with the ability to learn new technologies independently.

• Collaborative, adaptable, proactive, and results-oriented mindset.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Android Automotive OS (AAOS).

• Experience with GAS / non-GAS automotive platforms.

• Hands-on experience with VHAL and vehicle property integration.

• Experience with CTS/VTS/xTS certification and compliance testing.

• Knowledge of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration.

• Experience with OTA frameworks and automotive system updates.

• Exposure to hypervisor-based automotive architectures, including QNX-based systems.

• Experience with ADAS, Autonomous Driving, SOA, or Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV).

• Familiarity with software architecture certifications such as iSAQB or relevant automotive/system engineering certifications.
