Solve Problems That Require Real Engineering

You may find yourself analyzing kernel logs and driver behavior, tracing frames through V4L2 and the ISP, debugging MIPI CSI-2 communication, investigating Android Camera HAL behavior, tuning GStreamer pipelines, or determining whether a difficult problem originates in the sensor, hardware interface, kernel, driver, multimedia stack, or higher software layers.

Technical Ownership & Global Product Impact

We value senior engineers who want more than a predefined list of implementation tasks. You’ll have the opportunity to own complex technical topics from investigation through solution, contribute to architecture and engineering decisions, and work directly with globally distributed technical stakeholders.

Project Overview / Assignment Overview

We are looking for an experienced Senior Android BSP Engineer to join a long-term international engineering project focused on the development of next-generation embedded Android/Linux platforms for advanced professional products used worldwide.

As part of the firmware engineering team, you’ll work on sophisticated control systems, digital media, and unified communications solutions deployed in conference rooms, classrooms, auditoriums, home offices, and enterprise environments. These are real, commercially deployed products where platform performance, multimedia quality, reliability, and hardware/software integration truly matter.

Work Deep Inside the Android Platform

This is not typical Android application development. You’ll work close to the hardware and deep within the Android platform, contributing to BSP development, platform integration, optimization, debugging, and system-level problem solving.

You’ll investigate problems that rarely have simple answers—working across multiple layers of the system to understand what is happening, why it is happening, and how to solve it properly.

Real Engineering Ownership

You’ll work directly with real hardware and real product environments, collaborating with experienced hardware, firmware, Android, Linux, and application engineers across multiple countries.

Your contribution will go beyond implementing predefined tasks. We value engineers who can analyze complex technical problems, propose solutions, make sound engineering decisions, and take ownership from investigation through implementation and validation.

You’ll also have the opportunity to exchange knowledge with highly experienced engineers and deepen your expertise across Android internals, BSP development, embedded Linux, multimedia, and hardware/software integration.
