• Deep Android/kernel expertise; comfortable reading and patching framework, HAL, and driver code (AOSP)
• Log analysis using ADB, logcat, kernel logs, and Linux tooling
• Deep understanding of device internals including chipsets, drivers, and dependencies
• Experience creating technical requirements and documentation
• Experience working with vendors in an international environment

• Debug deep inside the Android platform including kernel, drivers, and system images on TV/STB devices
• Build test environments and scenarios to detect problems before deployment
• Create technical requirements and documentation for devices and the Android platform
• Collaborate with device manufacturers and influence platform behavior in their solutions
• Participate in new device development projects (approx. 8 months) covering technical specification, technology evaluation, and go-to-market support

Three pillars of the role:

Mentoring:

• Become the team's internal expert and first point of contact for all Android/platform-related topics

Device architecture:

• Technical architecture for next-generation set-top boxes

Component and vendor evaluation:

• Assess chipsets, technologies, and suppliers

Position requires Polish language proficiency at B2/C1 level for working with client systems and English at C1/C2 level for technical discussions and project management.
