Position: Multimedia & Middleware (Android Media Framework) (TT35ST RM 4055)

Department: Automotive Infotainment / Middleware Platform

Interview- L1, L2 – Both Virtual 
5 days- work from office. 

Role Summary
We are seeking a Middleware Engineer with 3–7 years of hands-on experience building and integrating middleware components for Android/Linux-based automotive systems. The role requires strong proficiency in Advanced C++ (C++11/14), Android native layers (JNI/AIDL/HIDL), inter-process communication, performance tuning, and system-level debugging.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement native middleware services, daemons, and HAL interfaces in Modern C++.
• Develop clean, reusable APIs/SDKs for application and platform teams.
• Write robust, testable code with unit tests (gTest/gMock/Junit).
• Implement and extend AIDL/HIDL interfaces; integrate with Android system services.
• Build and troubleshoot JNI bridges between Java/Kotlin apps and native layers.
• Customize Android middleware for AAOS and OEM-specific features.
• Implement secure and efficient IPC mechanisms (Binder, sockets, DBus)
• Handle multithreading, synchronization primitives, and concurrency.
• Define data models with serialization frameworks like Protobuf or FlatBuffers.
• Integrate middleware with Audio, Media, Connectivity, and VHAL modules.
• Own bring-up, integration, and stability across target hardware.
• Perform root cause analysis using logcat,
• Use GDB/LLDB for in-depth debugging.
• Drive code reviews, static analysis, and follow MISRA/ASPICE guidelines.
• Create design documents, API specifications, and sequence diagrams.
• Collaborate with BSP, Application, Audio/Media, and QA teams.
• Provide knowledge transfer sessions and integration guidance.

Must-Have Skills (Hands-on)

• Advaced C++ (C++14/17/20): STL, templates, smart pointers, RAII, concurrency.
• Android middleware experience: AIDL/HIDL, JNI, Binder IPC, system services.
• Linux/Embedded: processes, threading, memory management, CMake/Soong.
• Debugging: GDB/LLDB, systrace, perf, logcat, dmesg, ANR/tombstone analysis.

Tools:

• Git/Gerrit
• CI pipelines
• Unit testing frameworks
• IBM Rhapsody, IBM DOORS, IBM EWM Tool

Good-to-Have Skills

• Automotive infotainment (AAOS) experience.
• Exposure to Yocto or embedded Linux distributions.
• Knowledge of kernel/driver interaction.
• Experience with Audio/Media/Connectivity middleware.
• Understanding of CAN/UDS and ASPICE processes.

Education : B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Computer Science, Electronics, Embedded Systems, or related field.
