  • Evaluate Android platform limitations and identify what needs to be modified or extended.

  • Work with hardware vendors / ODMs on device integration.

  • Lead Android platform engineering and establish technical standards.

  • Evaluate technical feasibility and trade-offs for the first phone.

Requirements

  • Strong experience with Android Open Source Project (AOSP).

  • Experience with Binder IPC, Android permissions, SELinux and system processes.

  • Strong Java / Kotlin and C++ knowledge.

  • Experience building or modifying Android ROMs.

  • Experience shipping Android platform-level features, not just Android applications.
