Port and integrate an Android 17 operating-system baseline onto the target IFE hardware platform, including migration planning from an existing Android 15 implementation.
Configure AOSP device, product, board, and vendor layers; establish the boot flow from bootloader initialization through Linux kernel startup, Android init, native services, framework services, and home-screen availability.
Integrate target-specific system, vendor, product, ODM, boot, and vendor-boot images as applicable; update product configuration files, device manifests, system properties, resource overlays, init files, permissions, and platform configuration.
Enable and stabilize platform peripherals by configuring and validating Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL) and drivers, bringing stock Android to a stable baseline before integrating customer-specific middleware and applications.
Support bootloader and boot-chain enablement, Linux kernel adaptation, Android Verified Boot / secure-boot configuration, and resolve early-boot, late-boot, service-startup, framework-initialization, and system-server failures through hardware-software debugging.
What's Needed?
Mandatory skills: OS porting, BSP integration, HAL configuration, device enablement, build stabilization, and compatibility support.
Hands-on experience across the Android platform stack, including bootloader, Linux kernel, device drivers, BSP, HAL, Android framework integration, device configuration, build systems, security configuration, and hardware-software debugging.
Infotainment domain experience.
Experience with bootloader and boot-chain workflows (fastboot, recovery, factory programming, engineering flashing, software-loading), including investigation of boot loops, image-verification failures, partition issues, and bootloader-to-kernel handoff problems.
Ability to deliver platform deliverables such as bootloader and kernel patches, BSP adaptations, HAL updates, stable platform builds, compatibility evidence, test results, documentation, and handoff materials (including CTS/VTS sanity validation)
