Mecka AI is building the data infrastructure layer for robotics and embodied AI. The company designs and operates global systems for data capture, data labeling, and hardware-enabled workflows used by leading AI labs and robotics companies to train and validate humanoid and embodied AI systems.
In this role, you will make Mecka's capture hardware practical for people recording the real world. You'll build Android applications that connect the company's devices, guide recording workflows, and show users their progress and how to recover when something goes wrong. The work sits at the intersection of physical hardware, mobile software, and everyday use—getting it right across many phones and operating conditions helps more people contribute high-quality data for robot learning.
Key responsibilities include:
- Build clear app workflows for connecting hardware and capturing data
- Integrate device interfaces and media capabilities into native Android software
- Design status displays and recovery flows so users stay on track through disconnections, permission changes, and interrupted transfers
- Improve responsiveness, video performance, memory use, and battery consumption across supported phones
- Add diagnostics and work with firmware engineers to reproduce issues and test complete user workflows
Requirements:
Must-have:
- 3–4 years of experience building and debugging native Android applications with connected hardware or media features on real devices, with strong Kotlin or Java skills
- Solid understanding of Android lifecycle, concurrency, permissions, background execution, and networking
- Ability to design reliable app state that preserves user progress when connections or processes are interrupted
- Hands-on experience profiling and debugging performance, memory, and connectivity on real Android devices
- Ability to build clear user interfaces and automated tests for important app workflows
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with USB host APIs, UVC cameras, MediaCodec, Camera2, or native C++ integration
- Experience with device provisioning, recording apps, or large file transfers
