Software Engineer

We are seeking an Operating System (OS) Developer with strong design and build experience across multiple levels of the OS stack — from drivers to frameworks. The ideal candidate is hands-on, innovative, and comfortable working across diverse technical layers to build and optimize embedded systems. This role requires initiative, technical depth, and the ability to execute effectively in an agile, fast-paced environment.

• Design and implement software components across all layers of the OS stack, including drivers, frameworks, and system services.

• Debug complex, system-level, multi-component issues spanning from kernel to application layers.

• Profile and optimize performance issues across the full software stack.

• Bring up new devices, perform low-level debugging, and conduct performance tuning exercises.

• Collaborate with partner teams to integrate software components into a unified codebase and drive their ongoing development.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.

• 2+ years of experience with AOSP (Android Open Source Project) or Embedded Linux development.

• Proficiency in C/C++ with experience working in large-scale system software codebases.

• Strong understanding of operating system internals and framework-level services.

• Familiarity with software development best practices, including source control, unit testing, bug tracking, and design documentation.

• Experience shipping high-quality consumer or embedded products.

• Knowledge of modern C/C++ standards, libraries, and best practices; experience with Java is a plus.

• Hands-on experience with Android SDK, NDK, JNI, and IPC mechanisms.

• Experience with device bring-up, Linux kernel customization, and hardware integration.

• Familiarity with Android/Linux performance tools, debugging utilities, and security models.
