Software Engineer, Android Developer, Full Stack Developer

Dearborn, Michigan

We are seeking an experienced Android Full‑Stack Engineer to join our platform stability team. In this role, you will diagnose, debug, and resolve complex Android stability issues spanning the Android stack—both above (System Partition) and below (Vendor Partition) the Treble boundary. You will work deep within Android framework internals, reverse‑engineer issues from source code, provide technical direction for ambiguous problems, and ensure overall platform robustness across Android version upgrades.

This is a hands‑on engineering role for someone who thrives on solving the hardest, least‑understood problems in the Android ecosystem.

• Design and develop middleware and Android background services for platform‑level functionality
• Debug and reverse‑engineer complex issues directly from Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code
• Own overall Android platform stability and reliability
• Resolve Android upgrade and integration issues across releases
• Diagnose and fix bugs in  components (Activity Manager, Window Manager, Package Manager, etc.), Car Service, and Surface Flinger
• Investigate and resolve black screen, boot failure, and ANR (Application Not Responding) issues
• Resolve and provide technical direction and root‑cause analysis for unknown or hard‑to‑reproduce issues
• Address and resolve compliance test failures across CTS, VTS, ATS, and STS

• Kotlin – Write and maintain Kotlin‑based Android background services and middleware components and be comfortable working within Kotlin code in the Android framework/ layer.
• C++ – Debug and modify native Android components (e.g., Surface Flinger, HAL layers, vendor partition code) in C++, including reverse‑engineering issues directly from AOSP native open source code.
• Java – Read, debug, and modify Java‑based Android framework code ( internals such as Window Manager, Activity Manager) to diagnose and resolve issues like ANRs, boot failures, and black screens, including designing AIDL/Binder interfaces exposed to applications.

• 3+ years of hands‑on Android platform/framework development experience.
• Proven experience designing and developing middleware and Android background services (long‑running/foreground service) that expose feature‑rich interfaces (AIDL/Binder, APIs) to applications.
• Demonstrated track record of resolving complex, low‑level Android stability issues.
• Experience contributing to or modifying AOSP source code.
• Proven experience working across the full Android stack (framework, native services, vendor layers).

• Experience with Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and Car Service.
• Familiarity with HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) and vendor integration.
• Experience with CTS, VTS, ATS, and STS compliance frameworks.
• Knowledge of Android graphics stack and display subsystems.
• Experience with native debugging tools (gdb, lldb, perfetto, systrace, logcat analysis).
• Familiarity with Android build systems (Soong/Make) and partition architecture.
• Experience working with SoC/silicon vendors on platform bring‑up.

• Bachelor's Degree

• Master's Degree
