Lead Engineer Local Connectivity

About the position
The team belongs to the section “Network Development & Verification” in Lund and is responsible for securing WLAN and Bluetooth functionality in Sony’s mobile phones, primarily for the yearly cookie upgrades. Currently the Local Connectivity team consists of a Team Leader and four very skilled engineers, two focusing on WLAN and two focusing on Bluetooth. In addition, we have the support of an outsourcing team of about ten engineers. We are now looking to strengthening our team and are looking for a quite senior engineer who cannot only participate in bring-up and issue handling activities of Sony mobile phones, but who can also be the technical interface towards our outsourcing team in China. This person will also be supporting the Team Leader, e.g. with technical support for triage and strategic decisions. Competence within WLAN (framework as well as driver side) is of course important, but equally important is that the person is experienced in the Android development environment and tool chain. Experience from Qualcomm Android platforms would also be very valuable. The key purpose for adding this person is to off-load our two WLAN engineers as well as supporting the Team Leader. Therefore, you must be a self-going person, capable of and comfortable with taking decisions, and with good communication skills. You will need to have the ability to juggle many critical things at once, be able to prioritize between them, and often work against several different deadlines simultaneously. Because the world of mobile telephony is an ever-changing world you must be flexible, not afraid to take on new challenges, and eager to learn new things.
