We bring together engineers, creators, and innovators who push the boundaries of what’s possible - from cutting-edge FPV systems to advanced Remote Reality solutions, and toward the next generation of robotics. And behind every great technology, there’s great organization.\nWe’re looking for a Junior/Mid Embedded Android/AOSP Developer to help configure, build, and optimize the custom operating systems that power Orqa’s next generation of drones, FPV systems, and remote reality platforms.\nIn this role, you’ll dive deep into the Android Open Source Project (AOSP), tailoring the OS directly to our proprietary hardware. Because we develop and manufacture our products in-house, you’ll have the unique opportunity to bridge the gap between low-level silicon and user-facing applications, working closely with multidisciplinary hardware and RF engineering teams every step of the way.\nWHAT YOU’LL DO\nConfigure, build, and maintain custom Android distributions from AOSP source code tailored to Orqa’s hardware products\n\nBring up Android on custom, proprietary hardware platforms and reference boards from the ground up\n\nDevelop, modify, and debug Android Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL) and integrate Linux kernel drivers (display, camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)\n\nOptimize Android boot time, system resource usage, and critical video pipeline latency for real-time remote-reality applications\n\nMaintain and customize SELinux policies, manage system-level permissions, and establish a reliable OTA (Over-the-Air) update pipeline\n\nModify the Android Framework layer (Java/C++ native services) to expose custom hardware features to internal application teams\n\nCollaborate directly with hardware and RF engineers to debug signal paths and driver-level issues\n\nWHAT WE EXPECT\nHands-on experience building, modifying, and deploying custom AOSP builds\n\nStrong proficiency in C/C++, Java, and Go/Python (for build scripts)\n\nDeep knowledge of Android build tools (GNU Make, Soong, Blueprint, and Repo)\n\nSolid understanding of the Android subsystem architecture (Binder IPC, Android Framework, Native Daemons, and HAL)\n\nExperience with Linux kernel configuration, device trees, and debugging embedded hardware\n\nMastery of debugging tools like adb, logcat, gdb, systrace, and perf\n\nProfessional working proficiency in English\n\nNICE TO HAVE\nExperience with video streaming protocols, codecs (H.264/H.265), or low-latency video pipelines\n\nFamiliarity with the Yocto Project or Linux kernel development (bridging the gap into pure Linux driver work)\n\nFamiliarity with Qualcomm, Mediatek, or NXP chipsets\n\nExperience with low-level debugging tools like JTAG, logic analyzers, or oscilloscopes\n\nA passion for drones, FPV, or aviation technology\n\nWHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE \nOur office is a drone testing playground, and every day starts with an idea no one has tried before. We move fast, learn constantly, and foster a culture of innovation. With flexible working hours, real hands-on testing, and a team that challenges the limits of technology, working at Orqa means working on the edge of what’s possible.\nAnd that’s just the beginning - here are a few more reasons why you’ll love working at Orqa:\nPerformance-based bonuses\n\nMeal and transportation compensation\n\nKindergarten expenses coverage and newborn bonus\n\nInternal workshops & lectures\n\nCareer development & growth opportunities within a fast-scaling tech environment\n\nExtra vacation days\n\nOn-site massages - our professional masseur regularly visits the office to help you recharge\n\nPassSport Card - access to gyms and wellness centers\n\nComprehensive annual health check-up\n\nEngaging internal events & team-building activities\n\nIf you're passionate about low-level Android development, OS customization, and low-latency optimization, and enjoy turning complex embedded challenges into seamless, high-performance real-world products - we'd love to hear from you.\nWe’re proud to be an equal-opportunity employer and are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and supportive workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4206,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule","Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Consumer Electronics","Drones & UAVs","Drones"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-11T18:22:59Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-13T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/orqa-juniormid-embedded-androidaosp-developer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/orqa-juniormid-embedded-androidaosp-developer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-13T07:35:35Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11144,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":55754},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=55754"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Forqa-juniormid-embedded-androidaosp-developer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Forqa-juniormid-embedded-androidaosp-developer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Forqa-juniormid-embedded-androidaosp-developer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/orqa-juniormid-embedded-androidaosp-developer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Forqa-juniormid-embedded-androidaosp-developer"}]}
