  • Collaborate with application developers to test and validate functionality per intended use.
  • Conduct OS-level verification and validation per IEC 62304 and internal design control SOPs
  • Support risk analysis and mitigation activities per ISO 14971 and internal software QMS SOPs.
  • Contribute to software documentation, including software architecture, verification plans, test protocols, and traceability matrices.
  • Participate in technical reviews and audits to ensure software compliance with applicable standards.
  • Work in close coordination with cybersecurity, software, design quality, and system engineering teams to ensure secure and reliable system operation.
  • Support integration testing and root cause analysis of OS-related issues.

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with at least 3 years in Android OS development or customization.
  • Hands-on experience with AOSP, Android build systems, and kernel-level modification.
  • Strong understanding of embedded systems, Linux internals, and Android application frameworks.
  • Proven experience in regulated environments (medical device, aerospace, automotive, or defense).
  • Working knowledge of IEC 62304, ISO 14971, IEC 60601, and other regulations.
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity risk assessment, threat modeling, and vulnerability remediation in embedded platforms.

Preferred:
