[Hiring] Senior Embedded Android BSP Engineer @Jabil

Role Description

We are looking for an experienced Senior Embedded Android BSP Engineer to contribute as an independent contractor on a long-term B2B basis to an international engineering project focused on the development of next-generation embedded Android/Linux platforms for advanced professional products used worldwide.

• Work deep inside the Android platform; this is not typical Android application development.
• Contribute to BSP development, AOSP customization, HAL integration, native system components, debugging, optimization, and system-level problem solving.
• Take ownership of complex engineering challenges, investigating issues that rarely have simple answers.
• Collaborate with experienced hardware, firmware, Android, Linux, and product engineers across countries.

Expected Deliverables and Areas of Contribution

• Develop and customize AOSP-based platform software for embedded audio devices.
• Work on Android BSP, HAL layers, native C/C++ components, JNI/NDK integration, and system-level services.
• Participate in Android version upgrades and help keep the platform aligned with the latest Android releases.
• Integrate and troubleshoot hardware interfaces, peripheral drivers, and Linux kernel-related components.
• Debug platform issues related to boot, performance, memory, power, threading, IPC, and hardware communication.
• Support board bring-up and platform validation on ARM, Qualcomm-based, and other embedded hardware architectures.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and product teams to deliver stable embedded Android platforms.
• Review technical designs and code and provide guidance to less experienced engineers when needed.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of embedded software development experience, including 2+ years with Embedded Android, AOSP, or Android platform-level development.
• Strong C/C++ development skills for native, low-level, and performance-sensitive software.
• Hands-on experience with Android BSP, AOSP build systems, HAL architecture, HIDL/AIDL, Android.bp/Android.mk, Soong/Ninja, and system services.
• Experience with Android NDK, JNI, Binder, sockets, shared memory, or other IPC mechanisms.
• Good knowledge of embedded Linux, Linux kernel interfaces, device drivers, and hardware communication concepts.
• Experience debugging with tools such as ADB, GDB, Valgrind, Systrace/Perfetto, Wireshark, protocol analyzers, or similar tools.
• Understanding of object-oriented design, SOLID principles, version control, and structured release/development workflows.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.

Engagement Highlights

• Opportunity to support engineering projects delivered for market-leading global brands.
• Long-term project engagement with clearly defined technical objectives.
• Engagement on a B2B basis as an independent contractor, with discretion over the manner, time, and place of service delivery under a remote cooperation model.
• Flexibility in how and where you work, aligned with project needs and delivery expectations.
• Collaboration with international engineering stakeholders and experienced specialists across different countries.
• Exposure to modern technologies and complex engineering challenges across embedded systems and Android platforms.
• Opportunity to influence technical decisions and contribute knowledge to products used globally.
