The Position:
We are seeking a talented and experienced Senior Android AOSP (Android Open Source Project) Low-Level Porting Engineer to join our dynamic team. In this role, you will be responsible for porting Android's AOSP to a wide range of hardware platforms, focusing on low-level system integration, optimization, and customization. You will work closely with hardware engineers, software teams, and other stakeholders to ensure Android runs efficiently and effectively on new devices and platforms. Additionally, your expertise in deploying Android in virtualized environments and containers (VMs and Android in Containers) will be essential for expanding the use of Android on modern infrastructures.
Responsibilities
- Low-Level Porting:** Lead the porting of AOSP to new and existing hardware platforms, ensuring seamless integration with the underlying hardware components (e.g., SoCs, drivers, bootloaders, power management).
- System Debugging:** Troubleshoot and resolve complex low-level issues, such as hardware/software interaction problems, kernel bugs, and boot-time failures.
- Kernel Development & Customization:** Work with the Linux kernel and device drivers to ensure compatibility with Android, including modifying or creating custom drivers for hardware components.
- Optimization:** Optimize performance for power consumption, system responsiveness, and hardware-specific features to ensure the best possible user experience on new devices.
- Android in VMs and Containers:** Design, implement, and optimize Android’s operation in virtualized environments (VMs) and containerized infrastructure, ensuring robust, scalable, and efficient deployment of Android applications.
- Work on deploying Android in VM environments like QEMU, VirtualBox, or VMware, focusing on performance tuning and stability.
- Implement Android in containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes), optimizing container performance and ensuring compatibility with Android's resource management mechanisms.
- Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to Android's interaction with VM/container environments, including performance bottlenecks and resource contention.
- Collaboration:** Coordinate with cross-functional teams (hardware, software, and QA) to develop and maintain device-specific customizations, such as hardware abstraction layers (HALs) and firmware support.
- Testing & Validation:** Implement rigorous testing processes, including functional testing, regression testing, and performance benchmarking, to ensure a stable and reliable Android port.
- Documentation:** Provide thorough documentation for the porting process, custom modifications, and issues encountered, ensuring maintainability and scalability of the solution.
- Mentoring:** Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and team members, helping them grow their skills in AOSP porting, system-level development, and Android deployment in VMs and containers.
The salary or hourly wage range of $133,000 – $223,000 is just one component of Panasonic’s total package. The final offer amount may vary based on factors including but not limited to individual’s knowledge, skills, experience, and location. In addition, this role may be eligible for discretionary bonuses and incentives. The minimum hourly wage for this role will be the greater of the posted range, or minimum wage for the location where the employee will be working, subject to local minimum wage requirements.
What We’re Looking For:

- Experience with embedded systems and real-time operating systems (RTOS) is a plus.
- Solid understanding of Android’s operation in virtualized environments and containerized infrastructure.
- Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills, with the ability to troubleshoot complex low-level issues.
- Knowledge of Android build system (e.g., make, ninja) and bootloader integration.
- Strong understanding of Linux kernel architecture, device drivers, and hardware interaction.
- Familiarity with Android’s power management mechanisms and optimization techniques.
- Expertise in deploying and managing Android in VM environments (QEMU, VirtualBox, VMware) and containers (Docker, Kubernetes).
- Strong understanding of virtualization technologies, container orchestration, and resource management for Android.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to collaborate across various teams.
Preferred Qualifications:
