- Implement reusable UI components, application services, data models, and integration interfaces.
- Maintain clean separation between UI, workflow/state management, hardware integration, data processing, and configuration layers.
- Manage Android dependencies, Gradle configuration, build variants, signing, packaging, and release configurations.
- Ensure compatibility with target wearable and hardware platforms.
- Develop applications suitable for constrained, kiosk-style, or enterprise-managed wearable environments.

Qualifications and Experience:

- Bachelor's / Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication, Software Engineering, Robotics, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
- 5–8 years of professional Android software development experience with production releases.

- Proven experience developing complex multi-screen, workflow-driven Android applications.
- Strong experience with multi-module Android architecture.
- Strong knowledge of Android lifecycle,



threading, memory management, and application performance.
- Hands-on experience with Camera2 API.
- Hands-on experience consuming JNI/native libraries within Android applications.
- Experience debugging native crashes and Android application integration issues.
- Experience deploying applications to physical Android devices and hardware.
- Experience with Gradle, Git, profiling, and Android Studio.
- Experience working with hardware- or sensor-driven applications is preferred.
- Experience mentoring junior Android engineers is preferred.
- Experience in medical devices, navigation, robotics, computer vision, AR/VR/XR, or high-availability software will be an added advantage.

Skills and Competencies:

- Strong proficiency in Java and Kotlin.
- Strong knowledge of Android application architecture and multi-module design.
- Strong proficiency in Android Studio and Gradle.
- Strong understanding of Android lifecycle and component management.
- Strong knowledge of Camera2 API and camera lifecycle management.
- Strong understanding of multithreading, concurrency, synchronization, and background processing.
- Strong understanding of memory management and performance optimization on constrained devices.
- Good knowledge of JNI/NDK and native library integration.
- Experience debugging native crashes, ANRs, memory leaks, and application freezes.
- Experience with Git and structured branching/release practices.
- Experience with Android profiling and performance analysis tools.
- Understanding of real-time data processing and UI update patterns.




- Experience with sensor-driven or hardware-key-based user interfaces.
- Experience with OpenCV Android integration is preferred.
- Experience with OpenGL or AR overlay rendering is preferred.
- Understanding of kiosk, home-launcher, device-owner, or enterprise-managed Android deployment patterns is preferred.
- Strong debugging and root-cause analysis capabilities.
- Strong attention to application stability, reliability, performance, and usability.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Ability to work effectively with software, hardware, computer vision, algorithms, QA, systems, and clinical teams.
- Ability to work with physical devices and laboratory navigation systems rather than emulator-only environments.
- Passion for Android engineering, wearable computing, surgical robotics, immersive technologies, and healthcare innovation.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

- Timely delivery of assigned Android features and technical milestones.
- Successful implementation of session setup and intraoperative procedure modules.
- Reliability of state-machine-driven surgical workflows.
- Successful integration of camera, tracking, biomechanical, and navigation data.
