- Knowledge of vehicle networks (SOME/IP, MOST, CAN, LIN) and automotive boot flows.
- Working knowledge of SELinux policies and security contexts in Android.
- Experience with Android build systems (Soong, Bazel, Gradle) and version control tools (Git, Gerrit).
- Excellent problem-solving ability, hands-on approach, and confidence navigating large codebases.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with experience in Agile environments (Scrum, SAFe).
