Work Arrangement:
This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Warren, MI three times per week, at minimum or other frequency dictated by the business.

The Role

GM is looking to hire a Senior Android Software Engineer to lead design, development, and long‑term maintenance of in‑vehicle infotainment (IVI) apps and OTA update clients on Android Automotive OS (AAOS) for GM’s next‑generation software‑defined vehicles. The engineer will own major features end‑to‑end (architecture, implementation, validation, launch, OTA) and set the bar for safety, performance, reliability, and maintainability across Vehicle Applications & Services, with software deployed at scale across global fleets. This engieer will own features from concept through production and fleet‑wide OTA rollout by collaborating with UX on automotive interaction patterns and multi‑display HMI (cluster, center stack, HUD), Systems/platform on AAOS/AOSP integration and vehicle signals, QA/validation on vehicle‑level test plans and defect resolution, Product on feature definition, trade‑offs, and prioritization.

What You'll Do

Design, develop, build, and maintain IVI apps and services on AAOS / embedded Android to evolve OTA update clients with robust rollback, error handling, and fault recovery.
Own UX and interaction flows for key scenarios (e.g., media, navigation integrations, app‑store experiences, messaging), ensuring experiences are intuitive, glanceable, compliant with Android Automotive UX, driver‑distraction, safety guidelines and meet GM and regulatory requirements.
Drive performance on constrained hardware to optimize startup/resume times, frame rate, animation smoothness and manage memory, CPU, I/O for predictable behavior.
Integrate apps with vehicle properties, VHAL, navigation, media, voice assistants, and back‑office services via AAOS APIs and IPC (AIDL, gRPC or similar) and instrument apps with logging, metrics, and traces for observability, field triage, and continuous improvement.
Define and collaborate on unit, integration, UI, and bench/in‑vehicle test coverage and ensure fast cold‑boot and resume and support multi‑version AAOS/Android and long vehicle lifecycles.
Apply and evolve clean, modular Android architectures (e.g., MVVM + Jetpack) for large, long‑lived automotive codebases by partnering with platform teams on AOSP/AAOS customization and integration.
Diagnose and fix issues across app, framework, and system layers.
Contribute to architectural decisions on system services, permissions, and security models and influence platform‑level improvements in stability, performance, security, and developer efficiency.
Define and implement various test strategies like Unit tests (e.g., JUnit, MockK/Mockito), UI tests (e.g., Espresso, UI Automator), System/integration tests.
Build and maintain test automation for emulators and on‑bench environments and integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines and automated build systems.
Provide technical leadership and mentorship to mid‑level and junior engineers includes leading code and design reviews and champion best practices

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)

Bachelor’s degree in CS, Software Engineering, EE/CE, or related field, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of Android development with production Android apps or Android‑based embedded software and proven experience on AAOS or deeply embedded Android platforms.
Expert Kotlin skills; strong proficiency in Kotlin and/or Java, Android SDK, and modern Android patterns (coroutines/Flow, Jetpack, MVVM or similar).
Deep understanding of App/activity lifecycles, Background limits, scheduling, background work, Coroutines/Flow, concurrency, configuration changes, Memory management, profiling, and performance tuning, Android permissions, security, and system services.
Track record of designing, implementing, and shipping complex features end‑to‑end in large codebases with strong debugging skills.
Demonstrated performance optimization on resource‑constrained devices (UI, networking, I/O, rendering), with measurable improvements.
Strong grounding in software quality with experience automated testing, code reviews, defensive and secure coding
Experience writing and maintaining: Unit tests (JUnit, MockK/Mockito), UI tests (Espresso, UI Automator), System/integration tests.
Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines, automated builds, and Git workflows in multi‑team environments.
Effective cross‑functional collaboration with UX, product, validation/QA, and platform/system engineers.
Clear written and verbal communication, able to drive decisions and explain complex topics to varied audiences.
Demonstrated use of advanced Android concepts (DI, background work, concurrency, profiling) in new features, bug fixes, and refactoring.

What Will Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)

8+ years of experience working directly in AOSP/AAOS platform related code.
Knowledge of VHAL and vehicle property APIs.
Experience building or integrating OTA update mechanisms.
Familiarity with driver‑distraction rules and in‑vehicle HMI guidelines (OEM, regulatory, industry).
Experience with long‑lifecycle automotive software, safety‑critical or regulated systems (functional safety, cybersecurity, etc.).
Strong debugging with logs, traces, and system‑level tools.
Demonstrated technical leadership:
Leading designs for complex features/subsystems.
Mentoring engineers.
Influencing standards, patterns, and tooling.
