Job Description

• Drive the end-to-end bringup, integration, and validation of WiFi functionality on advanced

embedded WiFi hardware, ensuring optimal performance and stability from the ground up.

• Architect, develop, and port complex WiFi drivers to operate efficiently and robustly, specifically

tailored for a virtualized Android environment.

• Strategically optimize WiFi performance, throughput, latency, power efficiency, and reliability

across the entire stack – from hardware interaction through the hypervisor to the application

layer.

• Conduct in-depth, multi-layered system debugging and root cause analysis for complex issues

spanning physical WiFi hardware, drivers (frontend and backend), the hypervisor, Linux kernel

and Android operating system.

• Ensure robust and seamless WiFi access and full functionality for Android applications within the

virtualized environment, meticulously addressing any virtualization-specific challenges and

ensuring compliance with Android's networking stack and WiFi HAL.

• Contribute to the architectural design and evolution of the automotive WiFi software stack,

identifying and implementing innovative solutions for future connectivity needs and challenging

technical problems.

• Proactively engage with chipset suppliers to identify and integrate optimal solutions for specific

platforms.

• Work closely with hardware, software, networking, security, and test teams to ensure successful
