[EJV] Senior Telematics Software Engineer — Embedded Android

The Bosch Group is a leading global supplier of technology and services. Since the beginning of 2013, its operations have been divided into four business sectors: Automotive Technology, Industrial Technology, Consumer Goods, and Energy and Building Technology.

The Bosch Group comprises Robert Bosch GmbH and its roughly 360 subsidiaries and regional companies in some 50 countries. If its sales and service partners are included, then Bosch is represented in roughly 150 countries. This worldwide development, manufacturing, and sales network is the foundation for further growth.

Bosch Global Software Technologies Company Limited (BGSV) is 100% owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH - one of the world’s leading global suppliers of technology and services, offering end-to-end Engineering, IT, and Business Solutions.

Starting its operation from 2010 at Etown 2 in HCMC, BGSV is the first software development center of Bosch in Southeast Asia. BGSV nowadays have over 4,000 associates, with a global footprint and presence in the US, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region.

With our unique ability to offer end-to-end solutions that connect sensors, software, and services, we enable businesses to move from the traditional to digital or improve businesses by introducing a digital element in their products and processes.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Telematics Software Engineer with strong embedded Android experience to drive the migration of our Telematics Control Unit (TCU) software framework from Embedded Linux to Android (AOSP / Android Automotive), across both Commercial Vehicle / Off-Highway and Passenger Car programs. This is a foundational platform migration, not a feature port: you will re-architect vehicle-network interfaces, connectivity, diagnostics, and OTA mechanisms to run natively within the Android framework — HALs, system services, SELinux policy — while preserving the functional behavior, performance, and cybersecurity posture already proven on the current Linux platform. You will own the technical plan end-to-end and work directly with platform, cloud, and OEM customer teams to sequence it without disrupting shipping programs.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the technical strategy and execution plan for porting the existing embedded Linux telematics framework to Android (AOSP / Android Automotive), including a gap analysis of what changes at the HAL, native service, and application layers.
• Re-architect vehicle-network interfaces (CAN / CAN-FD, J1939, ISOBUS, UDS, DoIP) as Vehicle HAL (VHAL) extensions or native AIDL/HIDL services, preserving existing signal processing and diagnostics behavior.
• Port connectivity and cloud communication — 4G/5G modem integration via the RIL/Telephony framework, GNSS, MQTT/HTTPS telemetry — to Android system services.
• Migrate OTA (FOTA/SOTA) update mechanisms, remote diagnostics, and fleet-management data services to Android's update framework (A/B seamless updates or equivalent), maintaining feature parity with the current implementation.
• Adapt regulatory and safety-related features (eCall / ERA-GLONASS, tachograph and driver-data interfaces, emissions/usage reporting) to run correctly within Android's process and permission model.
• Define and enforce SELinux policies, Android permission boundaries, and secure/verified-boot equivalents to preserve or improve the platform's cybersecurity posture (ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE R155/R156) through the migration.
• Build and maintain the Android build system (AOSP repo/manifest, device tree, BSP integration) for the target TCU hardware.
• Define a test strategy that validates functional and performance parity between the Linux and Android implementations before cutover — regression suite, bench testing, and vehicle-level validation.
• Collaborate with platform/BSP, cloud/backend, and OEM customer teams to sequence the migration against shipping programs; define a phased or parallel-run rollout plan.
• Document architecture decisions and migration learnings, and mentor engineers ramping up on embedded Android.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 7+ years of embedded software development in automotive, telematics, or IoT, with strong C/C++ (C++14 or later) and Java/Kotlin for Android-layer work.
• Direct, hands-on experience with embedded Android / AOSP: HAL development (VHAL or custom HALs), AIDL/HIDL, system services, SELinux policy, and the Android build system (Soong/Make, repo/manifest).
• Experience with cellular connectivity (LTE/5G modems, RIL integration on Android), GNSS, and cloud protocols (MQTT, TLS, REST).
• Experience with Android OTA update mechanisms (A/B seamless updates or equivalent) and secure boot / verified boot concepts.
• Proven experience carrying a non-trivial embedded system through a platform/OS migration — able to speak concretely to gap analysis, phased cutover, and regression risk.
• Proficiency with automotive tooling: Vector CANoe/CANalyzer, bus analyzers, debuggers (JTAG/Lauterbach), Git, CI/CD.
• Solid experience with Embedded Linux (Yocto/Buildroot) telematics platforms — you need to understand what you're migrating from as well as to.
• Solid knowledge of vehicle networks and protocols: CAN / CAN-FD, J1939, UDS, DoIP; experience with at least one of ISOBUS, FMS, or Automotive Ethernet / SOME-IP.

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior production experience specifically with Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and its Vehicle HAL.
• AUTOSAR Classic or Adaptive experience alongside Android.
• Knowledge of ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE R155/R156 (cybersecurity), and ISO 26262 (functional safety) as applied to an Android-based platform.
• Experience with eCall / ERA-GLONASS, digital tachograph (EU 165/2014), or emissions telematics (e.g., OBD-over-telematics, China GB17691).
• Familiarity with Automotive SPICE or comparable structured development processes.
• Experience working with global OEM customers and multi-site development teams.
