- Integrate and bring up sensors and peripherals, including IMUs, proximity sensors, touch controllers, and haptic devices.
- Develop robust communication mechanisms between MCUs and Android XR application processors, including messaging protocols, interrupt handling, buffering, error management, and recovery workflows.
- Collaborate closely with Android BSP, Kernel, and HAL teams to integrate MCU functionality into Android XR platforms.
- Implement, optimize, and validate low-power features, including suspend/resume, wake-up events, watchdog handling, and fault recovery mechanisms.
- Support sensor timestamping, synchronization, and latency analysis to meet XR performance requirements.
- Troubleshoot hardware and firmware issues using JTAG/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment.
- Develop and execute automated test frameworks for functional validation, performance analysis, reliability testing, and power consumption optimization.
- Document bring-up procedures, integration requirements, test results, debugging findings, and root-cause analysis reports.
- Work cross-functionally with hardware, firmware, Android, and system integration teams to support prototype development through production readiness.
- Contribute to firmware architecture, bootloader enhancements, secure boot implementations, firmware update mechanisms, and recovery solutions.
- Support the integration and optimization of XR/AR/VR, wearable, and sensor-hub technologies for next-generation Android XR products.
What You Will Bring:- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Strong proficiency in embedded C/C++ programming with hands-on debugging experience in embedded systems.
- Proven experience in MCU firmware development, custom board bring-up, and low-level hardware-software integration.
- Solid understanding of ARM Cortex-M or similar microcontroller architectures.
- Hands-on experience with RTOS environments such as FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or equivalent, including task scheduling, interrupt handling, synchronization, and memory management.
- Experience developing, integrating, and debugging peripheral drivers and communication interfaces such as SPI, I8C, UART, USB, GPIO, PWM, and ADC.
- Strong ability to read and interpret hardware schematics, component datasheets, and interface specifications.
- Familiarity with embedded Linux and Android architectures, including interactions between firmware, kernel drivers, BSPs, and HAL layers.
- Experience using JTAG/SWD debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other debugging tools for hardware and firmware troubleshooting.
- Working knowledge of Python, Shell scripting, or similar tools for automation, validation, and test development.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- Experience integrating sensors and peripherals such as IMUs, proximity sensors, touch controllers, and haptic devices is highly desirable.
- Understanding of low-power system design, power management, suspend/resume flows, watchdogs, and fault recovery mechanisms.
- Experience with MCU-to-application processor communication, messaging frameworks, interrupt-driven architectures, and error recovery strategies is preferred.
- Familiarity with Android debugging tools such as ADB, Android logs (logcat), Linux kernel logs, and system tracing tools is a plus.
- Knowledge of bootloaders, secure boot, firmware update mechanisms, and recovery processes is advantageous.
- Experience with XR/AR/VR devices, wearables, sensor hubs, or other low-power embedded products is highly preferred.
- Exposure to sensor synchronization, timestamping, latency analysis, display/camera synchronization, and production-ready embedded system development is a plus.
