Android Engineer —Embedded Accessibility
Team: EHMA — the technology arm of EverpowerAI
Reports to: Director of Engineering
Location: Tempe, AZ — Onsite (no WFH, No Remote, No Hybrid; No Sponsoring, US Employment Eligible only)
Type: Full-time (contract-to-hire considered)
Compensation: $110,000–$128,000 base, depending on experience, plus benefits & stock options.
About the role
EHMA builds the software behind Everpower’s family of products — including a new line of accessibility-focused connected devices designed to help people use technology that adapts to them. We’re looking for an Android engineer to help bring the next generation of that hardware to life. You don’t need deep platform experience to apply: if you’re a capable Android or systems engineer who is genuinely curious about how Android works beneath the app layer — the platform (AOSP) and its hardware-interface layer — we’ll help you grow into it. You’ll work closely with our lead device engineer on a small, fast-moving team.
What you'll do
• Work alongside our lead device engineer to build and customize the Android platform (AOSP) for our accessibility devices — from the hardware-interface layer up to the apps people use.
• Help modernize the device’s platform and hardware-interface layer so our next-generation hardware can meet the requirements for Google Play (GMS) certification.
• Build accessibility-first, on-device applications and make them reliable, kiosk-grade, and easy to depend on.
• Integrate with device hardware and help keep sensitive on-device logic secure.
• Grow into deeper platform and embedded work over time, and contribute to other Android/mobile work as needs shift.
Where you’ll make an impact early
• Getting hands-on with the AOSP platform and its hardware-interface layer.
• Helping ship a Play-Store-certified next-generation device.
What we're looking for
• Solid software engineering with Android (Kotlin and/or Java) and/or strong systems programming (C++) — and the ability to pick things up fast.
• Genuine interest in how Android works beneath the app layer — AOSP, platform services, and the hardware-interface layer. Hands-on experience here is a plus, not a requirement.
• Comfort working down the stack in C++/Java — or real eagerness to get there.
• A builder’s mindset and care for reliability.
• An interest in building technology that’s accessible to people with diverse needs.
Nice to have
• Hands-on AOSP / platform development (board bring-up, system services, SELinux).
• Android platform / hardware-abstraction (HAL) interface experience.
• GMS (Google Mobile Services) certification / CTS-GTS experience.
• Low-level hardware interaction — GPIO, MIPI, UART.
• Accessibility / assistive-technology experience.
• Taking a product from birth to launch (0-to-1 / new-product development).
• Solar or energy industry experience.
• Regulated or medical-device software experience.
