Mts V – AOSP Engineer – Android Open source Project

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience)
• 5+ years of experience in Android system development, including AOSP porting and low-level customization
• Strong experience in Android kernel development, Linux drivers, and hardware abstraction layers (HALs)
• In-depth knowledge of Android internals, including the boot process, system libraries, and resource management
• Proficiency in C/C++ programming and debugging tools (e.g., GDB, JTAG)
• Extensive experience with Android development tools and source control systems (e.g., AOSP repo, Git)
• Familiarity with ARM architecture and SOCs (System on Chips) used in Android devices
• Solid understanding of Android’s operation in virtualized environments and containerized infrastructure
• Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex low-level issues
• Knowledge of Android build system (e.g., make, ninja) and bootloader integration
• Strong understanding of Linux kernel architecture, device drivers, and hardware interaction
• Familiarity with Android’s power management mechanisms and optimization techniques
• Expertise in deploying and managing Android in VM environments (QEMU, VirtualBox, VMware) and containers (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Strong understanding of virtualization technologies, container orchestration, and resource management for Android
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate across various teams.

Responsibilities

• Lead the porting of AOSP to new and existing hardware platforms, ensuring seamless integration with the underlying hardware components (e.g., SoCs, drivers, bootloaders, power management)
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex low-level issues, such as hardware/software interaction problems, kernel bugs, and boot-time failures
• Work with the Linux kernel and device drivers to ensure compatibility with Android, including modifying or creating custom drivers for hardware components
• Optimize performance for power consumption, system responsiveness, and hardware-specific features to ensure the best possible user experience on new devices
• Design, implement, and optimize Android’s operation in virtualized environments (VMs) and containerized infrastructure, ensuring robust, scalable, and efficient deployment of Android applications
• Work on deploying Android in VM environments like QEMU, VirtualBox, or VMware, focusing on performance tuning and stability
• Implement Android in containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), optimizing container performance and ensuring compatibility with Android’s resource management mechanisms
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to Android’s interaction with VM/container environments, including performance bottlenecks and resource contention
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, and QA) to develop and maintain device-specific customizations, such as hardware abstraction layers (HALs) and firmware support
• Implement rigorous testing processes, including functional testing, regression testing, and performance benchmarking, to ensure a stable and reliable Android port
• Provide thorough documentation for the porting process, custom modifications, and issues encountered, ensuring maintainability and scalability of the solution
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and team members, helping them grow their skills in AOSP porting, system-level development, and Android deployment in VMs and containers.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Android device bring-up from scratch
• Familiarity with U-Boot or other bootloader systems
• Experience with cross-compilation tools and build environments for embedded systems
• Contributions to open-source Android projects or experience with custom Android ROMs
• Experience with container orchestration tools like Kubernetes and Helm
• Knowledge of Android’s deployment and operation in cloud-based environments or edge computing
• Experience with Android’s interaction with cloud services or hybrid cloud infrastructures.
