Job Description & How to Apply Below
- We are seeking an experienced Android Platform Engineer to support the porting, bring-up, integration, and stabilization of an Android-based In-Flight Entertainment platform on next-generation target hardware.
- The engineer will be responsible for adapting the Android operating system to the target hardware, integrating the Board Support Package, configuring and validating Hardware Abstraction Layers, enabling platform peripherals, stabilizing Android builds, and supporting Android platform compatibility activities.
- The role requires hands-on experience across the Android platform stack, including boot loader, Linux kernel, device drivers, BSP, HAL, Android framework integration, device configuration, build systems, security configuration, and hardware-software debugging. The engineer will work closely with hardware, middleware, application, build and integration, test automation, and compatibility teams to deliver a stable Android 17 platform baseline that supports passenger, crew, and maintenance applications.
- The project SOW identifies platform deliverables including boot loader and kernel patches, BSP adaptations, HAL updates, operating-system integration artifacts, stable platform builds, compatibility evidence, test results, documentation, and handoff materials.
