The company recently migrated to its own network infrastructure and is investing heavily in improving the performance and reliability of customer-premises equipment - routers (CPE) and TV set-top boxes (STB).\nThis is a hands-on expert role, not a classic network engineer or QA position. The closest description: a device-level Android and kernel debugging specialist who happens to work on WiFi-connected devices - someone who can go deep into logs, understand what's happening under the hood, and solve problems that have no obvious cause.\nThe role\nYou'll be the go-to person for Android/platform topics within the team - mentoring colleagues, architecting next-generation STB devices, and evaluating components and vendors. Day-to-day, expect a lot of analysis, debugging, and design work - less clicking through test suites.\nThree pillars of the role:\nMentoring - become the team's internal expert and first point of contact for all Android/platform-related topics\n\nDevice architecture - technical architecture for next-generation set-top boxes\n\nComponent and vendor evaluation - assessing chipsets, technologies, and suppliers\n\nWhat you'll do\nOwn the STB test environment for platform-level issues, and draw actionable conclusions\n\nAnalyse user-reported issues and identify their root causes - including hard-to-reproduce quality defects\n\nDebug deep inside the Android platform - kernel, drivers, system images - on TV/STB devices\n\nBuild test environments and scenarios to detect problems before deployment\n\nCreate technical requirements and documentation for devices and the Android platform\n\nCollaborate with device manufacturers and influence how the platform behaves in their solutions\n\nParticipate in new device development projects (~8 months) - technical specification, technology evaluation, and go-to-market support\n\nWhat you bring\nMust-have:\nDeep Android/kernel expertise - you understand how the kernel, OS framework, and system processes work together, and you can patch a driver yourself\n\nLog analysis (ADB, logcat, kernel logs, Linux tooling)\n\nDeep understanding of device internals - chipsets, drivers, dependencies\n\nExperience creating technical requirements and documentation\n\nExperience working with vendors in an international environment\n\nPolish at B2/C1 level - all client systems are in Polish (required without exception)\n\nEnglish at C1/C2 level - for technical discussions and project management\n\nNice to have:\nWiFi testing experience / familiarity with test tools (Candela, Spirent)\n\nTR-398 / TR-069 or similar standards\n\nTest automation / scripting (any technology)\n\nExperience at vendors, integrators, or in telecom QA\n\nExperience with CPE / STB or similar home devices\n\nTeam and working model\nYou'll join an existing team of WiFi/home device/TV engineers. There's already an STB expert on the team you'll work closely with, as well as a broader CPE team (currently 4 people, growing to 5). The team reports to a manager responsible for home devices and services.\nWarsaw (lab and main office) - Warsaw, Katowice, and Wrocław offices available\n\nUoP: 3 days/week in office\n\nB2B: location is more flexible, but periodic visits to the Warsaw lab are required","description_format":"text","description_chars":3365,"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":"Polish","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Recruiting & Staffing","Executive Search","HR & Recruiting AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-28T15:54:08Z"}],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["seen:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-09-29T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/techtree-android-platform-engineer-cpe-stb","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/techtree-android-platform-engineer-cpe-stb.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-30T03:21:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2419,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2581,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-01T00:00:00Z"}}}
