About this role

Android OS Power and Performance Engineer

Henderson Scott Bellevue, Washington, United States (On-site)

📱 Android Power and Performance Engineer

📍 Bellevue, WA | 💼 Full-Time | $150,000 - $180,000 | 🚫 No Sponsorship Offered

We're helping a product engineering team hire an experienced Android system-level engineer to optimise performance and power consumption across embedded devices running Linux and Android.

This is a hands-on, lab-based role working on real hardware - tuning CPU governors, managing thermal profiles, and profiling Android OS subsystems to squeeze every drop of performance and battery life from complex SoCs.

🧠 What You'll Be Doing

  • Deep-dive performance and power tuning on Android/Linux embedded platforms
  • Optimising CPU governor settings, thermal behaviour, and power profiles
  • Conducting profiling and analysis across Android software stack
  • Working closely with hardware, validation, and firmware teams
  • Supporting early silicon bring-up and development board testing
  • Analysing SoC behaviour (power rails, frequency scaling, system load response)

🛠️ What You'll Need

  • 3-5+ years of system-level Android or embedded Linux experience
  • Direct experience with Android OS internals, thermal and power profiling tools
  • Strong knowledge of CPU governors, power rails, frequency scaling, and SoC architecture
  • Fluency in C++, Python, and performance debugging workflows
  • Comfortable with on-site work in Bellevue, WA
  • US work authorisation (sponsorship is not available)

💡 Bonus Points For

  • Familiarity with Android HAL or kernel modules
  • Exposure to camera, graphics, or audio subsystems in Android
  • Board bring-up experience with ARM-based SoCs

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys low-level engineering, lab validation, and getting deep into how software meets silicon.
