Description:

Lenovo is hiring a Systems & Development Engineer for its Android Software Platform team in Bangalore to build and scale next-generation mobile, tablet, and smart device experiences. Operating inside the middle layers of the Android software stack, you will design custom Android framework components, platform services, and public/internal APIs. The position covers full OS lifecycle deployment—including initial silicon-level Android OS bring-up, version upgrades, and deep system-level debugging. You will optimize the runtime performance, concurrency behaviors, and telephony/data stability of global device programs while aligning features with modern Android open-source safety and compliance standards.

Key Technologies:

Android framework, HAL, Android Runtime, Telephony/Data stack, Java, Kotlin, C++

Requirements:

• 3–7 years of professional experience operating inside Android platform development, customized ROM engineering, or mobile embedded software systems.
• Deep technical knowledge across the internal modules of the Android platform—specifically governing Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL), Android Runtime (ART/DALVIK), native Framework APIs, and the Telephony/Data networking stack.
• Strong proficiency in production coding using Java, Kotlin, and/or modern C++ applied across system services.
• Solid fundamental understanding of Linux kernel-based operating systems, low-level embedded system constraints, memory allocation models, and hardware-software interfacing behaviors.
• High proficiency writing, profiling, and fixing multi-threaded and concurrent processing workflows to avoid system deadlocks, frame drops, or race conditions.
• Hands-on experience in complex system-level debugging, crash-dump analysis, logcat/dmesg parsing, and execution-level performance tuning (e.g., reducing boot times, thermal mitigation, battery optimization).
• Direct familiarity managing custom Android board support packages (BSP), initial reference board bring-up, peripheral module integration, and multi-variant carrier/device customization.
• Proactive drive to contribute to net-new platform features, architect patentable ideas, and guarantee engineering alignment with baseline Android CTS/VTS security and privacy metrics.
