About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Telematics Software Engineer with strong embedded Android experience to drive the migration of our Telematics Control Unit (TCU) software framework from Embedded Linux to Android (AOSP / Android Automotive), across both Commercial Vehicle / Off-Highway and Passenger Car programs. This is a foundational platform migration, not a feature port: you will re-architect vehicle-network interfaces, connectivity, diagnostics, and OTA mechanisms to run natively within the Android framework — HALs, system services, SELinux policy — while preserving the functional behavior, performance, and cybersecurity posture already proven on the current Linux platform. You will own the technical plan end-to-end and work directly with platform, cloud, and OEM customer teams to sequence it without disrupting shipping programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the technical strategy and execution plan for porting the existing embedded Linux telematics framework to Android (AOSP / Android Automotive), including a gap analysis of what changes at the HAL, native service, and application layers.
• Re-architect vehicle-network interfaces (CAN / CAN-FD, J1939, ISOBUS, UDS, DoIP) as Vehicle HAL (VHAL) extensions or native AIDL/HIDL services, preserving existing signal processing and diagnostics behavior.
• Port connectivity and cloud communication — 4G/5G modem integration via the RIL/Telephony framework, GNSS, MQTT/HTTPS telemetry — to Android system services.
• Migrate OTA (FOTA/SOTA) update mechanisms, remote diagnostics, and fleet-management data services to Android's update framework (A/B seamless updates or equivalent), maintaining feature parity with the current implementation.
• Adapt regulatory and safety-related features (eCall / ERA-GLONASS, tachograph and driver-data interfaces, emissions/usage reporting) to run correctly within Android's process and permission model.
• Define and enforce SELinux policies, Android permission boundaries, and secure/verified-boot equivalents to preserve or improve the platform's cybersecurity posture (ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE R155/R156) through the migration.
• Build and maintain the Android build system (AOSP repo/manifest, device tree, BSP integration) for the target TCU hardware.
• Define a test strategy that validates functional and performance parity between the Linux and Android implementations before cutover — regression suite, bench testing, and vehicle-level validation.
• Collaborate with platform/BSP, cloud/backend, and OEM customer teams to sequence the migration against shipping programs; define a phased or parallel-run rollout plan.
• Document architecture decisions and migration learnings, and mentor engineers ramping up on embedded Android.
