• Deep understanding of domain area & customer use cases to solve application-level challenges within the embedded vehicle architecture.  

• Translate customer requirements and customer problem statements into solutions, thinking expansively and using a wide lens to capture both immediate and future requirements  

• Support verification and validation efforts, including pre-silicon (FPGA systems) and post-silicon testing, to guarantee compliance with requirements  

• Create compelling system demonstrators and proof of concepts for customer visits and tradeshow events. 

• Provide technical communication and support during customer engagements to ensure success  

• Architect balanced system trade-offs between performance, power, complexity, and cost to meet demanding design goals  

• Create tools that make it faster and easier for our customers to design-in our products. 

• Identify emerging technology trends and translate these into product proposals that drive the development of ADI’s business and technology roadmaps. 

• Proficient at programming in embedded C within a limited resource environment, C++ and Phyton 

• Experience with microcontrollers (e.g., ARM processors), and low-level communication peripherals (including SPI, I2C, TDM, UART, CAN, etc.) 

• Operation System knowledge, Linux, AutoSAR, real-time operating systems (RTOS) as well as bare metal implementations. 

 Desired requirements/Qualifications 

• 8+ years of experience in Product Development roles within the Electronics industry  

• Bachelor’s, Master’s or PhD degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering, Embedded Firmware/Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent industry experience)  

• Excellent debugging / analytical skills, excellent communication skills essential, each day will bring new and differing challenges. 

• Love of learning and problem-solving and enthusiastic about all things to do with Technology  

Technical Expertise (knowledge and experience)  

• System Engineering methodologies and HW/SW product development flows, including requirements capture (e.g., Jama), integration, verification, and validation  

• The candidate is expected to employ solutions thinking and have demonstrated proficiency in electronic circuit design, embedded software development. A strong background of hands-on technical applications work is preferred. 

• Showing an ability to solve complex problems, debug systems and replicate/deliver solutions on bench in hardware and software. For example driver development  

• Experience in developing/troubleshooting low-level drivers and hardware integration for interfaces such as I2C, SPI, UART, PWM, etc. 

• Testing and debugging techniques, with proficiency in tools such as oscilloscopes, Vector Network Analyzer, and automotive communication protocol analysers  

• Knowledgeable in best coding practices and quality attributes of embedded software.  

• You don’t mind ambiguity and thrive in a multifaceted & cross-functional team with a start-up culture 

• Knowledge in one or more of the following areas will make you stand out, but isn’t required.  

• Automotive or Industrial system design, processes, and platforms (ASPICE, AUTOSAR, etc.)
