Minimum Qualification: B.E / B.Tech / M.E / M.Tech in Electronics, Communication, or Computer Engineering.
Key Responsibilities
- Define system-level Wi-Fi and Bluetooth architecture (hardware + software) for infotainment platforms (e.g., Qualcomm SA8155 / SA8295 / SA6145 with Wi-Fi / BT Combo chips).
- Lead the connectivity subsystem design covering WLAN, BT Classic, BLE, and Coexistence mechanisms.
- Collaborate with SoC vendors (Qualcomm, Broadcom, NXP, etc.) for HLOS and firmware integration.
- Define and review interface requirements between Wi-Fi / BT stack, middleware, and application layers.
- Drive feature integration and validation for:
- Bluetooth profiles (A2DP, HFP, AVRCP, PBAP, MAP, HID, etc.)
- Wi-Fi features (STA, SoftAP, P2P, Wi-Fi Direct, Miracast, Hotspot, WPA3, 802.11ax/ac).
- Architect and oversee projection features integration (Android Auto / CarPlay wireless modes).
- Define and optimize coexistence strategy between Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LTE/5G modems.
- Support system performance tuning, throughput optimization, and latency reduction.
- Define certification readiness plans – Wi-Fi Alliance, Bluetooth SIG (IOP), regulatory compliance (FCC/CE).
- Provide technical leadership to development and integration teams, reviewing designs and test plans.
- Support root-cause analysis and debugging of complex RF or connectivity interoperability issues.
- Collaborate with platform, middleware, and audio teams to ensure robust crossdomain integration.
- Evaluate and integrate diagnostic and logging tools (mandiag, QXDM, Wireshark, BTSnoop, etc.).
Required Skills & Experience
- Strong expertise in Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax) and Bluetooth (v5.x) technologies.
- Deep understanding of connectivity architecture in embedded Linux / QNX / Android Automotive environments.
- Experience with Qualcomm Connectivity Stack (CNSS, BlueZ, Bluedroid) or equivalent vendor stacks.
- Proven experience in Wi-Fi & BT coexistence, performance tuning, and certification.
- Hands-on with Wireshark / BT sniffer / Spectrum Analyzer and RF debugging tools.
- Working knowledge of Automotive Infotainment integration flows and vehicle level test setups.
- Experience with Android Connectivity Framework, HALs, and middleware components.
- Familiarity with networking protocols (TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, ICMP) and security mechanisms (WPA2/WPA3).
- Exposure to Automotive Standards – A-SPICE, ISO26262 (awareness), and A-SPICE Level 2+ process adherence.
- Excellent problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.
Good to Have:
- Experience with CarPlay / Android Auto Wireless Projection integration.
- Familiarity with Audio over Bluetooth (SCO/eSCO, LE Audio, LC3 codec).
- Prior work on Multi-radio coexistence (BT/Wi-Fi/LTE/GNSS).
- Experience with Over-the-Air (OTA) update frameworks for connectivity firmware.
- Exposure to Telematics or TCU integration.
