Summary

Leads a squad of engineers delivering a defined slice of the vehicle abstraction stack — for example, the VHAL core and property store, the SOME/IP-to-VHAL bridge, or the Car Framework extensions. Translates the architecture into concrete designs, owns the squad's technical quality and delivery commitment, and remains a hands-on contributor on the hardest parts of the codebase.

Roles & Responsibilities

Design & Hands-on Engineering

• Produce detailed design documents for assigned components: class/interface design, threading and concurrency model, property-config data model, error and timeout semantics, memory ownership.
• Personally implement or co-implement the most complex or risk-bearing parts: the IVehicle AIDL service skeleton, subscription manager, VehiclePropertyStore concurrency, the vsomeip client integration, the CAN signal-to-property mapping engine.
• Own the vendor property ID allocation scheme and the property-config JSON/ARXML generation pipeline for the squad's domain.
• Define and enforce the squad's performance budgets: property get/set latency, callback fan-out cost, IPC overhead, boot-time contribution, memory footprint.
• Android property operations to real vehicle interfaces. ( Common API, SOME/IP, CAPI style plugin, Handler Integration), Sync/Async Boardnet communication understanding.
• Release Management on Component artifactory and App Store.
• Complete Automotive domain knowledge.

Integration & Cross-team

• Drive integration with the vehicle network layer: agree signal catalogues with the E/E and Tier-1 teams, resolve semantic mismatches (units, ranges, signal validity/error qualifiers, timeouts, not available handling).
• Own the SOME/IP contract for the squad: service/instance/method/event IDs, vsomeip configuration, service discovery behaviour, serialisation alignment with CommonAPI or the OEM IDL, E2E protection where applicable.
• Coordinate with app and framework teams consuming the properties review their CarPropertyManager usage patterns for subscription-rate and error-handling correctness.

Team Leadership

• Break down features into level-appropriate tasks assign, estimate and track to sprint and milestone commitments.
• Run code review as the final gate for the squad's merge maintain the review standard (no unreviewed vendor-partition or SELinux change).
• Mentor engineers own their technical growth plans and provide performance input.
• Own the squad's defect triage, root-cause analysis discipline, and technical debt backlog.

Quality & Compliance

• Own VTS coverage for the squad's HAL surface and ensure new properties ship with tests.
• Author and review SELinux policy for the squad's services and device nodes ensure no permissive domains or blanket allow rules reach production.
• Ensure ASPICE traceability: requirement , design ,code , test linkage for the squad's deliverables.

Professional & Technical Skills

• 10+ years total, 6+ years in Android platform/AOSP, with demonstrable VHAL or comparable HAL ownership.
• Advanced HAL implementation skills: has written or substantially modified an AIDL/HIDL HAL, including VINTF manifest entries, init.rc service definition, and vendor/system partition placement.
• Advanced C++ (17 or 20): RAII, move semantics, std:: concurrency, lock-free or carefully-locked shared state, profiling with perf/simpleperf, sanitizers (ASan, TSan, UBSan).
• Strong Java and Kotlin for Car Framework and system-service work understands Binder threading, oneway semantics, and SystemServer lifecycle.
• Strong AOSP skills: Soong modules, repo workflows on a multi-manifest tree, incremental builds, lunch targets, flashing/fastboot, adb-based debugging, dumpsys, bugreport analysis.
• Solid SELinux: writing .te files, file contexts, hwservice contexts, property contexts, diagnosing denials from audit2allow while resisting the temptation to over‑grant.
• Practical onboard-network experience: SocketCAN, candump/cansend, DBC files, CAN-FD framing, Automotive Ethernet basics, Wireshark analysis of SOME/IP traffic.
• Working experience with SOME/IP stacks (vsomeip, CommonAPI or a commercial equivalent) and their configuration model.
• C++. Java, Kotlin, Rust, Python , Bash

Good to have

• Experience leading a distributed team across time zones.
• Exposure to HIL/SIL test rigs and restbus simulation (CANoe, CANalyzer, or equivalent).
• Experience migrating a HIDL VHAL to the AIDL VHAL interface.

Additional Information

• The candidate should have minimum 12 years of experience in Automotive Digital Cockpit Solutions.
• This position is based at our Bengaluru office.
• A 15 years full time education is required. 15 years full time education
