What you need

  • Experience working with major SoC vendors (Qualcomm, MediaTek, Broadcom, Amlogic, Realtek, etc.) and their reference platforms
  • Proven track record of successful OEM collaboration: requirement gathering, technical support, and issue resolution

Nice to have

  • Experience with Android security (SELinux, Verified Boot, dm-verity)
  • Experience of multimedia subsystems (Audio, Display pipelines)
  • Understanding of hardware schematics and ability to work with hardware teams

What you get

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of remote work options

  • The position is focused on Android platform development, which may not appeal to those looking for broader software engineering roles
