Non Union Android Automotive Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The unique aspect of our business is the mindset of our employees: curious, adventurous, and innovative. P3 consultants take on early responsibilities with clients in management consulting, diverse technology topics, and scalable IT solutions. Make a project your project. Openness for new, innovative, and unconventional approaches; short decision paths; respectful cooperation; and fruitful synergies make us a diverse, unbeatable team and successful company - worldwide.

At P3, we build advanced infotainment systems for some of the world's largest automotive OEMs. We specialize in Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and lead end-to-end development for complex, in-vehicle digital experiences. We are looking for a Senior Android Automotive OS (AAOS) Platform Engineer to design and build next-generation in-vehicle infotainment systems. In this role, you will work deeply within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), developing system services, hardware integrations, and vehicle-specific platform capabilities that power modern automotive user experiences. You will collaborate closely with hardware vendors, OEM stakeholders, and cross-functional software teams to deliver robust, secure, and high-performance AAOS platforms that run reliably in vehicles worldwide.

• Customize and extend Android Automotive OS (AAOS) based on AOSP, working across system image, framework, and service layers.
• Design and implement system services using Java and Kotlin; introduce modern Kotlin-based modules where appropriate.
• Develop and integrate Hardware Abstraction Layers (HALs) and proprietary drivers for vehicle hardware such as displays, audio systems, climate controls, tuners, and amplifiers.
• Build and maintain Vehicle Data APIs and SDKs enabling controlled access to signals such as speed, location, diagnostics, gear state, and door events.
• Architect and implement inter-process communication (IPC) and pub-sub messaging mechanisms for real-time vehicle data distribution.
• Engineer and debug Bluetooth stacks and SDKs for communication between the head unit, mobile devices, wearables, and internal ECUs.
• Analyze and optimize system performance through memory leak detection, CPU profiling, garbage collection analysis, and system tracing in resource-constrained environments.
• Implement and maintain secure OTA (Over-the-Air) update mechanisms for vehicles deployed in the field.
• Develop and enforce SELinux policies, harden IPC boundaries, and reduce attack surfaces across system services.
• Collaborate with hardware vendors and embedded teams to integrate C++ components in embedded Linux environments.
• Design custom window management and view systems to support automotive-specific layouts such as split-screen and portrait displays.
• Integrate and technically lead third-party automotive SDKs (e.g., navigation, voice, connectivity), ensuring performance and safety compliance.
• Build automated unit and integration tests (JUnit, Mockito) for framework and HAL components, runnable on development boards and in-vehicle hardware.
• Debug low-level protocol and connectivity issues using Wireshark, CAN bus logs, and proprietary diagnostic tools.
• Support CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions) for system builds, configuration management, and automated deployments.
• Provide expert-level field issue troubleshooting and root cause analysis, working with real vehicle logs and customer-reported defects.

You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable field. You have several years of hands-on experience with Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and AOSP system-level development. You are highly experienced in Java and Kotlin, with a strong understanding of Android framework internals. You have practical experience with HAL development, embedded Linux, and C++ integration. You understand automotive architectures, including ECUs, CAN bus communication, and vehicle signal handling. You are confident working with Bluetooth protocols, system debugging tools, and performance profiling techniques. You have hands-on experience with SELinux, secure IPC design, and system hardening. You are comfortable designing APIs and SDKs for internal developer teams. You bring a senior mindset: you take ownership, mentor others, and make sound architectural decisions. You communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You are comfortable with extensive travel, depending on client and project needs. You are legally authorized to work in the U.S.

We offer a competitive salary with bonus potential. You get up to 20 days PTO and 10 paid company holidays. We offer mentorship and onboarding programs and a flat hierarchy. You can get healthcare, life insurance, dental & vision, 401(k) matching. We offer national and international travel opportunities. You have career opportunities in a fast-growing company and work in small, efficient project teams.
