Senior Android Developer

Job Title: Senior Android Developer

Department: Immersive Technologies

Location: Vapi, Gujarat.

Reports To: Senior Fullstack Engineer

Experience: 5–8 Years

Job Purpose: The position will work primarily on Java/Kotlin-based Android applications, including dual-module architecture, state-machine-driven surgical workflows, camera and native tracking integration, real-time visualization of biomechanical and navigation data, and enterprise deployment.

Key Responsibilities: 1. Android Application Architecture & Development • Design, develop, maintain, and refactor production-grade Android applications using Java/Kotlin. • Own development across the wearable navigation application's primary modules, including session setup and intraoperative procedure modules. • Develop scalable multi-module Android architecture suitable for navigation workflows. • Implement reusable UI components, application services, data models, and integration interfaces. • Maintain clean separation between UI, workflow/state management, hardware integration, data processing, and configuration layers. • Manage Android dependencies, Gradle configuration, build variants, signing, packaging, and release configurations. • Ensure compatibility with target wearable and hardware platforms. • Develop applications suitable for constrained, kiosk-style, or enterprise-managed wearable environments.

Qualifications and Experience: • Bachelor's / Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication, Software Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline. • 5–8 years of professional Android software development experience with production releases. • Strong professional experience in Android development using Java/Kotlin. • Proven experience developing complex multi-screen, workflow-driven Android applications. • Strong experience with multi-module Android architecture. • Strong knowledge of Android lifecycle, threading, memory management, and application performance. • Hands-on experience with Camera2 API. • Hands-on experience consuming JNI/native libraries within Android applications. • Experience debugging native crashes and Android application integration issues. • Experience deploying applications to physical Android devices and hardware. • Experience with Gradle, Git, profiling, and Android Studio. • Experience working with hardware- or sensor-driven applications is preferred. • Experience mentoring junior Android engineers is preferred. • Experience in medical devices, navigation, robotics, computer vision, AR/VR/XR, or high-availability software will be an added advantage.

Skills and Competencies: • Strong proficiency in Java and Kotlin. • Strong knowledge of Android application architecture and multi-module design. • Strong proficiency in Android Studio and Gradle. • Strong understanding of Android lifecycle and component management. • Strong knowledge of Camera2 API and camera lifecycle management. • Strong understanding of multithreading, concurrency, synchronization, and background processing. • Strong understanding of memory management and performance optimization on constrained devices. • Good knowledge of JNI/NDK and native library integration. • Experience debugging native crashes, ANRs, memory leaks, and application freezes. • Experience with Git and structured branching/release practices. • Experience with Android profiling and performance analysis tools. • Understanding of real-time data processing and UI update patterns. • Experience with sensor-driven or hardware-key-based user interfaces. • Experience with OpenCV Android integration is preferred. • Experience with OpenGL or AR overlay rendering is preferred. • Understanding of kiosk, home-launcher, device-owner, or enterprise-managed Android deployment patterns is preferred. • Strong debugging and root-cause analysis capabilities. • Strong attention to application stability, reliability, performance, and usability. • Strong communication and collaboration skills. • Ability to work effectively with software, hardware, computer vision, algorithms, QA, systems, and clinical teams. • Ability to work with physical devices and laboratory navigation systems rather than emulator-only environments. • Passion for Android engineering, wearable computing, surgical robotics, immersive technologies, and healthcare innovation.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): • Timely delivery of assigned Android features and technical milestones. • Successful implementation of session setup and intraoperative procedure modules. • Reliability of state-machine-driven surgical workflows. • Successful integration of camera, tracking, biomechanical, and navigation data. • Application stability during real-time navigation data updates. • Successful management of Camera2 lifecycle and native/JNI integrations. • Application performance and memory efficiency on constrained wearable hardware. • Quality and completeness of defect reports and supporting evidence. • Timely resolution of application, camera, native, and hardware-integration defects. • Reliability and traceability of Android builds and releases. • Timely availability of stable OR/laboratory demonstration builds. • Quality of code reviews, architecture decisions, and technical documentation. • Effective mentoring and technical development of junior Android engineers.
