Role Overview:

The Wi-Fi / Bluetooth Architect will be responsible for defining, designing, and guiding the
integration of connectivity subsystems within next-generation automotive infotainment
platforms. The role involves architecture definition, performance optimization, certification
readiness, and cross-domain coordination for global vehicle programs.

YOUR ROLE

Experience: 10 - 14 years
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:
o Bluetooth profiles (A2DP, HFP, AVRCP, PBAP, MAP, HID, etc.)
o 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 ASPICE 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.
