Android OS Developer

Android OS (Android Open Source Project) Embedded Software Engineer

The Android-related work will involve working with the Android Operating System (OS), specifically Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code. Zachary Piper Solutions has made driver, kernel, and abstraction layer changes to the OS, as well as written custom system-level applications.

The engineer will be responsible for maintaining and updating this code base, as well as integrating these updates into the hardware platforms for which it is designed.

It should be noted that Android OS development is not the same as Android application development. A developer or engineer with Android app development experience alone, regardless of years of experience, will not necessarily possess the skills required for this role.

Zachary Piper Solutions engineers a diverse portfolio of high-technology solutions, products, and services that enable customers to successfully execute mission-critical objectives across multiple domains of operation. We partner closely with industry leaders and government customers to push the boundaries of innovation in the defense, cybersecurity, and advanced technology arenas.

Given the nature of our work, we value trust, integrity, alignment, and transparency. We offer competitive benefits, a collaborative work culture, and a flexible work environment where individual contributions are recognized and rewarded. If who we are and what we do resonates with you, we invite you to join our high-performing team.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering or a related Science, Engineering, or Mathematics discipline, plus a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience; or
• Master’s degree plus a minimum of 3 years of relevant experience
• Agile development experience preferred

Clearance Requirements
