layer.
• Conduct in-depth, multi-layered system debugging and root cause analysis for complex issues
spanning physical WiFi hardware, drivers (frontend and backend), the hypervisor, Linux kernel
and Android operating system.
• Ensure robust and seamless WiFi access and full functionality for Android applications within the
virtualized environment, meticulously addressing any virtualization-specific challenges and
ensuring compliance with Android's networking stack and WiFi HAL.
• Contribute to the architectural design and evolution of the automotive WiFi software stack,
identifying and implementing innovative solutions for future connectivity needs and challenging
technical problems.
• Proactively engage with chipset suppliers to identify and integrate optimal solutions for specific
platforms.
