- Design, develop, and optimize Android system services, background daemons, and framework-layer components compatible across multiple Android OS versions.
- Connect high-level application frameworks with low-level C/C++ native layers, in collaboration with HAL and kernel teams.
- Partner with global manufacturing partners and test engineers to build, maintain, and optimize factory flashing tools, diagnostic software, and board bring-up daemons, with the goal of achieving 100% manufacturing yield.
- Architect platform security workflows, including PKI certificate provisioning, SELinux/SEAndroid policies, and HSM or ARM TrustZone integrations.
