Key Responsibilities
- Develop, integrate, and optimize audio software components within the Android audio framework.
- Collaborate with DSP engineers to implement and tune audio algorithms.
- Debug and resolve audio stability, latency, routing, and playback/recording issues.
- Support audio system bring-up and validation on embedded automotive platforms.
- Work with internal teams and external partners to ensure audio features meet vehicle program requirements.
- Document designs, test results, and system behavior for internal engineering teams.
- 3+ years of experience with Android audio stack or Android HAL-level audio development.
- Strong understanding of audio signal flow, routing, and real-time audio constraints.
- Solid foundation in DSP concepts (filters, gain structure, tuning, EQ, etc.).
- Proficiency in C/C++, Java, or Kotlin for embedded or Android development.
- Experience debugging audio issues in embedded systems.
- Ability to work in fast-paced, cross-functional engineering environments.
- Experience using or integrating Audio Weaver (AWE) SDK.
