Software Firmware Engineer 4

Seeking an experienced Android Graphics Expert to design, develop, and optimize high-performance graphics and rendering pipelines on Android devices. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in OpenGL ES, Vulkan, GPU optimization, and Android's graphics stack, with strong system-level debugging skills.

This role involves working closely with platform engineers, performance teams, and hardware vendors to deliver smooth, high-FPS, low-latency rendering experiences across devices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Graphics Development
• Design and implement real-time rendering pipelines on Android
• Develop 2D/3D rendering systems using OpenGL ES / Vulkan
• Implement shader programs (GLSL/SPIR-V)
• Optimize graphics performance (FPS, memory, power)
• Platform & System Integration
• Work with Android graphics stack:
• SurfaceFlinger
• HWComposer
• Skia
• RenderThread
• Debug rendering issues across device variants
• Handle frame drops, jank, ANR caused by graphics bottlenecks
• Performance Optimization
• Profile GPU and CPU usage
• Use tools like:
• Android GPU Inspector
• Perfetto
• Systrace
• RenderDoc
• Optimize:
• Texture handling
• Memory bandwidth
• Overdraw
• Frame timing
• Low-Level Debugging
• Debug driver-level and HAL issues (if required)
• Work with device vendors (Qualcomm, MediaTek, etc.)
• Understand AOSP graphics pipeline and buffer management
• Testing & Stability
• Validate rendering across multiple Android versions
• Handle device compatibility challenges
• Ensure smooth behavior across refresh rates (60Hz / 90Hz / 120Hz)
