How you will make an impact

We’re seeking a highly skilled Senior Android Automotive Engineer to design, develop, and optimize in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) features on Android Automotive OS (AAOS). You’ll work closely with platform teams, system engineers, and UX specialists to deliver robust, scalable, and production-ready solutions for connected vehicles.

As part of our team, you will have to:

• Develop and customize Android Automotive OS features and services, with focus on one or more domains such as Wireless/BT, DGI, Camera, or Display.
• Work closely with architects, hardware engineers, and UX teams to ensure smooth integration across system layers.
• Debug, profile, and resolve system-level issues at the Framework, HAL, and service layers using tools like Logcat, Systrace, Perfetto, and DLT Viewer.
• Contribute to custom Android system services, applications, and IVI-specific features.
• Ensure delivered components meet performance, stability, maintainability, and security requirements.
• Stay up to date with AOSP/AAOS evolution and support platform upgrades and migrations.
• Participate in Agile workflows (Scrum or SAFe), including sprint planning, estimations, and technical discussions.

What you need to succeed:

• 6+ years of Android development experience, including 3+ years with Android Automotive OS.
• Strong development background in Android Platform with solid skills in Kotlin, Java, and C/C++.
• Deep understanding of Android internals: Framework, System Services, HAL, Binder, AIDL/HIDL.
• Practical experience in at least one core Automotive domain: Wireless/BT, DGI, Camera, Display, or related areas (Audio, Video, Connectivity, Car Services, Multi-User/Display).
• Hands-on experience with Vehicle HAL, IVI features, and custom system service development.
• Strong skills in system troubleshooting and performance profiling using Logcat, Systrace, Perfetto, DLT Viewer, protocol analyzers, or hardware debugging tools.
• Knowledge of vehicle networks (SOME/IP, MOST, CAN, LIN) and automotive boot flows.
• Working knowledge of SELinux policies and security contexts in Android.
• Experience with Android build systems (Soong, Bazel, Gradle) and version control tools (Git, Gerrit).
• Excellent problem-solving ability, hands-on approach, and confidence navigating large codebases.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience in Agile environments (Scrum, SAFe).
•  

  Nice-to-Have Qualifications

• Experience with CTS (Compatibility Test Suite) and CDD (Compatibility Definition Document) compliance for Android Automotive.
• Knowledge of power management in automotive Android platforms.
• Familiarity with Car UI Library and Google Automotive Services (GAS) integration.
• Experience contributing to open-source Android projects or upstream AOSP.
• Understanding of input routing architectures.
• Exposure to Functional Safety (ISO 26262) or cybersecurity standards (e.g., UN R155/R156).
• Familiarity with Android updates and OTA mechanisms in an automotive context.
• Hands-on experience with Android platform migrations, e.g., upgrading AOSP versions.
• Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, Buildkite).
• Experience with ASPICE (Automotive SPICE) processes and assessments in a professional automotive development environment.
• Hands-on experience with IVI platforms outside of Android Automotive OS, such as QNX, AGL, or proprietary systems.
