The ideal candidate will have a robust background in baseporting and kernel development, which is crucial for optimizing Android to work seamlessly across various hardware platforms.

Key responsibilities:

• Engage in low-level Android development, including baseporting for different hardware architectures and optimizing Android kernels.
• Review, modify, and enhance the Android operating system at both the kernel and user space levels to improve performance and functionality.
• Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve issues related to kernel development and baseport configurations.
• Write and maintain high-quality, efficient code that adheres to best practices for low-level system programming.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

The software professional we are looking for should be comfortable with some of the following:

• Proven experience in Android development with a strong focus on low-level programming and system-level optimizations
• Proficient in C/C++ and Java, with solid knowledge of the Android NDK (Native Development Kit)
• Extensive knowledge of the Android operating system architecture, including Linux kernel internals
• Experience with baseporting Android for various hardware platforms, including troubleshooting and integrating device drivers
• Familiarity with Android build systems
• Knowledge of version control systems such as Git

If not all of the above are familiar, but embedded Linux environments and integration with Android sounds appealing, then an aptitude for self-initiated research, motivation for low-level embedded development and prototyping should not be underestimated or under-valued.
