About The Role

HP is seeking an experienced Android OS Software Developer to help design, develop, integrate, and maintain Android operating-system solutions for HP products. In this role, you will contribute to platform features that extend the Android Open Source Project and differentiate HP devices for enterprise and retail customers. You will work across the Android platform stack, collaborating with teams in hardware, firmware, security, quality, and product management, as well as external technology partners. The position is full time and is intended for a developer with substantial experience in Android platform or system-level software.

Qualifications

A four-year or graduate degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related discipline is recommended. Equivalent professional experience or demonstrated competence may also be considered. Typically, candidates bring 7–10 years of experience in software development, programming, applications engineering, or a related field.

Qualified candidates will have hands-on experience developing Android platform or system-level software. Relevant knowledge includes Android Enterprise, device-policy management, OEMConfig, zero-touch enrollment, and mobile device management (MDM) or unified endpoint management (UEM) platforms. Familiarity with Android security concepts such as SELinux, verified boot, secure boot, and application or image signing is valuable. Experience with compatibility and security test suites—including CTS, VTS, GTS, or STS—and with Android HALs, 4Yjj, Binder IPC, native services, or Linux device drivers is also beneficial.

Additional strengths include knowledge of retail and point-of-sale technologies, such as barcode scanners, printers, cash drawers, payment devices, customer-facing displays, and JPOS or UnifiedPOS. Experience working with original design manufacturers (ODMs), chipset vendors, peripheral manufacturers, or software partners is an advantage. Programming experience with Kotlin, Java, C++, Python, or similar languages is relevant. Successful candidates demonstrate clear communication, customer focus, results orientation, learning agility, and digital fluency.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, integrate, test, and maintain Android OS components and HP-specific system services. Build device-management features that support enterprise configuration, provisioning, policy enforcement, telemetry, and integration with MDM and UEM solutions. Develop security capabilities that strengthen platform integrity, safeguard system services and data, and support trusted software execution.

Enhance standardized peripheral interfaces and services to simplify application integration across HP devices. Use Android debugging and analysis tools to investigate system failures, performance issues, compatibility concerns, and security defects. Participate in architecture and design reviews, code reviews, test planning, and release-readiness activities. Produce maintainable, well-tested code and clear technical documentation covering architecture, interfaces, configuration, development, testing, and troubleshooting.

Collaborate with geographically distributed engineering teams and external partners, including ODMs, silicon vendors, peripheral suppliers, and independent software vendors. Contribute to platform capabilities such as OEMConfig, provisioning and OS-management tools, HP signing, restricted root access, peripheral firmware updates, and a JPOS-based peripheral framework. Apply disciplined root-cause analysis and help establish consistent capabilities across HP product families.
