Job Summary

Senior Bluetooth Development Engineer to own Bluetooth stack development, debugging, and certification in a virtualized automotive Android environment.

In this role, the engineer will drive Bluetooth features for next-generation in-vehicle infotainment, lead rapid bug triage across virtualized guest/host environments, ensure robust device interoperability, and prepare systems for official certification.

What You Will Do:

• Design, implement, and debug Bluetooth features within the Android framework (AOSP) and infotainment stack running under virtualization.
• Lead rapid bug triage and issue resolution for complex Bluetooth interoperability challenges, including HFP, A2DP, and BLE profiles, across guest Android instances and the host system.
• Drive and execute the Bluetooth SIG certification process for vehicle software and hardware releases.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize wireless performance, manage BT/Wi-Fi coexistence, and mitigate RF interference.
• Work closely with hypervisor teams to manage BT controller pass-through, shared memory, and virtualized transport interfaces.
• Support test planning for virtualized BT scenarios, develop automated test scripts, and contribute to CI pipelines.

Required Qualifications:

• 5+ years of hands-on software development experience specifically focused on Bluetooth technologies, profiles including HFP, A2DP, BLE, and protocol stacks.
• Experience with Automotive Infotainment or Android Automotive OS (AAOS).
• Proven experience implementing Android services, working with the Android framework layer (AOSP), or modifying Android BT HAL/stack.
• Direct experience executing and successfully completing Bluetooth SIG certification.
• Strong debugging skills using tools like Ellisys / Teledyne Frontline protocol analyzers, Wireshark, and Android system debugging tools including adb, logcat, and bugreports in complex connectivity environments.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Xen hypervisors, managing virtualized Android/Linux environments, and virtualized BT controller interfaces including guest/host pass-through and shared memory.
• Familiarity with Wi-Fi drivers, BT/Wi-Fi coexistence mechanisms, and Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) certification.
• Hands-on experience with over-the-air packet sniffers and protocol analyzers including Ellisys, Frontline, and Wireshark.
• Deep understanding of Linux Bluetooth stacks including BlueZ and Fluoride/GD.
