Project Role :Custom Software Engineer


Project Role Description :Develop custom software solutions to design, code, and enhance components across systems or applications. Use modern frameworks and agile practices to deliver scalable, high-performing solutions tailored to specific business needs.
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).
