Must have skills : Automotive Digital Cockpit Solutions

Good to have skills : NA

Minimum 3 Year(s) Of Experience Is Required

Educational Qualification : 15 years full time education

Summary:

An experienced individual contributor who delivers well-defined features and defects within the VHAL and Car Framework with limited supervision. Works from designs produced , contributes design input for their own scope, and is building toward independent component ownership.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Implementation:-

• Implement new vehicle properties against an agreed signal specification: add the property config, implement get/set handlers, wire the change-notification path, and handle unavailable/error states correctly.
• Implement mappings between raw bus signals and Android property semantics — unit conversion, scaling and offset, endianness, enumeration mapping, validity flags, timeout/staleness handling.
• Develop and maintain Android services and app-facing components in Java/Kotlin that consume VHAL properties through CarPropertyManager , including callback lifecycle and rate selection.
• Extend the reference/emulated VHAL and property-injection tooling so features can be exercised without target hardware.
• Implement supporting tooling: property dump utilities, signal simulators, log parsers, config generators.
  
  

Debug & Test:-

• Debug across the stack with logcat , dumpsys car service , dumpsys on the VHAL service, adb shell cmd car service property injection, systrace/perfetto, and CAN/SOME/IP traces.
• Write unit tests (GTest for native, JUnit/Mockito for Java/Kotlin) and contribute VTS/instrumentation tests.
• Reproduce and fix defects assigned from triage provide clear root-cause write-ups.
  
  

Collaboration:-

• Participate actively in design and code reviews give and act on review feedback.
• Raise SELinux policy changes for their features, with the senior engineer reviewing scope.
• Keep documentation current: property catalogue entries, integration notes, known limitations.
  
  

Professional & Technical Skills:

• 5+ years total, with 2+ years in Android (platform, system apps, or embedded Android) or automotive embedded C++.
• Solid Java and Kotlin able to write clean, tested framework-level code.
• Working-to-proficient C++ (11/14/17): classes, STL containers, smart pointers, basic concurrency able to work in an existing HAL codebase and extend it safely.
• Understands Android architecture: activities/services, Binder and AIDL, system services vs. apps, permissions, the difference between app-layer and platform-layer development.
• Has built and flashed an AOSP image at least once end to end comfortable with repo , Android.bp / Android.mk , lunch , make , adb , fastboot .
• Working understanding of HAL concepts: what a HAL is, how AIDL/HIDL interfaces are declared and served, and how the framework binds to them.
• Awareness of SELinux: can read denial messages, understand .te syntax, and propose a scoped rule with review.
• Basic familiarity with vehicle networks: what CAN frames and signals are, what a DBC file describes, what SOME/IP is used for.
• C++. Java, Kotlin, Rust, Python / Bash
  
  

Good to have:

• Prior exposure to CarPropertyManager , VehiclePropertyIds or the AAOS emulator.
• Scripting for tooling and CI (Python, Bash).
• Experience with Git-based code review workflows on large codebases (Gerrit).
