Job Description
Android AOSP SW Engineer
Android AOSP engineer will design, implement, integrate, and optimize Android AOSP software stack for the Client Seat Box. The engineer will translate in-flight entertainment (IFE) use cases into robust platform capabilities across the Android framework, native services, hardware abstraction layers, display and media paths, and system observability. This role combines hands-on engineering with technical leadership and requires close collaboration across internal product, architecture, applications, multimedia, validation, security, BSP, QNX/Linux, and hardware teams, as well as external chipset and technology partners.
Key Responsibilities:
· Design and productize multi-display support for single- and multi-VM configurations, including display discovery, runtime configuration, display identifiers, mode and resolution handling, content placement, focus, lifecycle, and recovery.
· Work across Window Manager, Display Manager, Surface Flinger, Hardware Composer/Composer HAL, graphics allocation, input routing, and vendor display stacks.
· Partner with chipset, BSP, QNX/Linux, monitor, cabling, and applications teams to validate end-to-end display paths and resolve boot, restart, hot-plug, rendering, and performance issues.
· Deliver production-quality code with unit, integration, compatibility, stress, and system-level validation appropriate to the change.
· Contribute to CI/CD, reproducible builds, branch and release management, automated testing, static analysis, code-quality gates, and release readiness.
· Create traceability from requirements and designs through implementation, test evidence, defects, and operational metrics.
· Participate in feature planning, estimation, risk management, defect triage, lab bring-up, system demonstrations, and release support.
