Android Platform Engineer (CPE / STB)

Join an established telecommunications engineering team working on the reliability, performance and technical architecture of next-generation home connectivity devices and TV set-top boxes.

As Android Platform Engineer (CPE / STB), you will investigate complex WiFi and device-level issues across Android framework, HAL, Linux kernel, drivers and firmware. You will also contribute to technical vendor evaluations, engineering requirements and device quality improvements.

This opportunity is designed for an experienced embedded Android engineer who enjoys working close to hardware, analyzing system logs and identifying the actual causes of difficult technical problems.

The ideal candidate has substantial hands-on Android platform experience, understands chipset and driver dependencies, and can confidently collaborate with international device manufacturers.

Important

• Full-time opportunity in Poland, available under UoP or B2B arrangements.

• UoP: Three office days per week in Warsaw, Katowice or Wrocław.

• B2B: Flexible location with periodic visits to the Warsaw laboratory.

• At least five years of hands-on Android platform or kernel-level engineering experience.

• Embedded device experience involving CPE or STB platforms.

• Practical experience reading or modifying Android framework, HAL, kernel or driver code.

• Strong device-level debugging and root-cause analysis skills.

• Experience using ADB, logcat, dumpsys and Linux diagnostic tools.

• Knowledge of chipsets, drivers and device firmware dependencies.

• Polish proficiency of at least B2 and English proficiency at C1/C2.

• This is a hands-on device engineering role, not a traditional network administration or pure QA position.

We are looking for an Android Platform Engineer (CPE / STB) to improve the performance, reliability and technical quality of next-generation home connectivity devices and TV set-top boxes for a major telecommunications operator in Poland.

This is a hands-on embedded Android engineering opportunity focused on device-level WiFi debugging, platform architecture, chipset and driver analysis, and technical collaboration with international hardware vendors.

You will work alongside an established team of home device engineers, investigate complex issues across the Android and Linux software stack, and help define technical requirements for customer-premises equipment and set-top box platforms.

The ideal candidate combines deep Android platform and kernel-level engineering experience with systematic root-cause analysis, device internals knowledge and the ability to guide technical discussions with manufacturers.

Responsibilities

• Investigate and resolve complex device-level WiFi and connectivity issues affecting CPE and STB platforms.

• Analyze problems across the Android framework, Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL), wpa_supplicant, Linux drivers and device firmware.

• Read, investigate and modify Android platform, kernel or driver code to identify and address underlying defects.

• Correlate system events using ADB, logcat, kernel logs, dumpsys and Linux diagnostic tools.

• Distinguish software symptoms from root causes involving chipsets, drivers, firmware and hardware dependencies.

• Perform technical analysis of WiFi behavior, connectivity failures and device performance.

• Support device testing, debugging and technical evaluation of hardware and software platforms.

• Develop technical requirements, defect reports and engineering documentation for equipment manufacturers.

• Collaborate with international vendors to investigate defects, evaluate solutions and improve device reliability.

• Provide technical guidance and share platform expertise with the internal engineering team.

• Contribute to architectural decisions and technical evaluations for future CPE and STB devices.

Required Skills

• At least five years of hands-on Android platform or kernel-level engineering experience involving embedded devices such as CPE or STB systems.

• Practical experience reading and modifying Android framework, HAL, Linux kernel or device driver code.

• Strong understanding of Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and embedded Android architecture.

• Ability to trace and isolate root causes across the Android framework, HAL, wpa_supplicant, driver and firmware layers.

• Advanced log analysis using ADB, logcat, kernel logs, dumpsys and Linux diagnostic tools.

• Deep understanding of device internals, including chipsets, drivers, System-on-Chip platforms and hardware-software dependencies.

• Experience investigating complex connectivity or device behavior issues at platform level.

• Ability to produce clear technical requirements, defect reports and engineering documentation.

• Experience collaborating with international hardware or software vendors.

• Polish language proficiency at B2 level or higher.

• English language proficiency at C1/C2 level.

• Ability to meet the applicable UoP office attendance or B2B laboratory visit requirements.

Technologies

• Android Open Source Project (AOSP)

• Android Framework and Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)

• Linux kernel and device drivers

• Android Debug Bridge (ADB)

• logcat, dumpsys and kernel logs

• wpa_supplicant

• WiFi protocols and IEEE 802.11

• Wireshark and tcpdump

• WiFi packet capture and OTA monitor mode

• CPE and STB platforms

• Embedded chipsets and System-on-Chip architectures

Nice To Have

• Advanced knowledge of WiFi protocols, roaming, DFS and RF behavior.

• Experience with over-the-air WiFi packet capture in monitor mode.

• Familiarity with Candela or Spirent WiFi testing equipment.

• Knowledge of TR-398 and TR-069 standards.

• Experience with Realtek, Broadcom or MediaTek WiFi chipsets.

• Familiarity with Amlogic SoC platforms.

• CWNA or CWAP certification.

• Experience evaluating CPE or STB devices for telecommunications operators.

• Previous responsibility for technical vendor evaluation or device acceptance testing.

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical thinking and systematic root-cause investigation.

• Ability to distinguish technical symptoms from underlying causes.

• Clear communication with engineering teams and international vendors.

• Confidence challenging technical assumptions using evidence.

• Strong technical documentation and reporting skills.

• Ability to explain complex device-level issues to different stakeholders.

• Collaborative approach to mentoring and knowledge sharing.

• Ownership of complex technical investigations and problem resolution.
