Android Platform Engineer (CPE / STB)

Quick Facts

• Android Platform Engineer focused on Android/kernel debugging for TV set-top boxes (STB) and home devices (Wi‑Fi/TV service quality)
• Hands-on expert role (device-level troubleshooting, not classic network engineering or QA)
• Three pillars: Mentoring, Device architecture, Component and vendor evaluation

Description

You will own Android/platform topics within the team: mentor colleagues, architect next-generation STB devices, and evaluate components and vendors. Day-to-day work is heavy on analysis, debugging, and design—less time spent running test suites. The closest match is a device-level Android and kernel debugging specialist for Wi‑Fi-connected TV/STB devices who can go deep into logs and under-the-hood behavior.

Responsibilities

• Own the STB test environment for platform-level issues and draw actionable conclusions
• Analyze user-reported issues and identify root causes, including hard-to-reproduce quality defects
• Debug deep inside the Android platform (kernel, drivers, system images) on TV/STB devices
• Build test environments and scenarios to detect problems before deployment
• Create technical requirements and documentation for devices and the Android platform
• Collaborate with device manufacturers and influence how the platform behaves in their solutions
• Participate in new device development projects (~8 months): technical specification, technology evaluation, and go-to-market support

Requirements

Must-have:

• Deep Android/kernel expertise (understand how the kernel, OS framework, and system processes work together; can patch a driver)
• Log analysis: ADB, logcat, kernel logs, Linux tooling
• Deep understanding of device internals: chipsets, drivers, dependencies
• Experience creating technical requirements and documentation
• Experience working with vendors in an international environment
• Polish proficiency at B2/C1 level (required without exception)
• English proficiency at C1/C2 level for technical discussions and project management

Nice to have:

• WiFi testing experience or familiarity with test tools (Candela, Spirent)
• TR-398 / TR-069 or similar standards
• Test automation / scripting (any technology)
• Experience at vendors, integrators, or in telecom QA
• Experience with CPE / STB or similar home devices

Benefits

• Hands-on expert position focused on device-level Android/platform troubleshooting for home routers (CPE) and TV set-top boxes (STB)
• Mentoring and architecture responsibilities across next-generation STB device development
• Participation in new device projects including go-to-market support
• Work with international device manufacturers and a team responsible for WiFi/home device/TV quality
