Position Overview
Systems engineering teams at Analog Devices anticipate, uncover, and solve complex customer challenges ahead of product development by applying robust systems engineering methodologies and leveraging Analog Devices' extensive portfolio of sensing technologies in collaboration with external partners.
Join a cutting-edge team at Analog Devices, where you'll help develop adaptive, personalized, and contextually aware consumer audio technologies.
As a Senior System Applications Engineer, you will work on system integration across embedded consumer platforms, addressing application-level challenges in the low-power consumer audio market.
We are seeking a highly motivated, energetic System Applications Engineer who thrives on innovation and is passionate about delivering exceptional user experiences in emerging audio technologies.
Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Customer engagements throughout the product development cycle—from concept to launch—debugging issues and resolving problems in our application and/or FPGA labs.
Collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams (Marketing, Design, Software, Field Applications) and with external partners to deliver complete system solutions.
Deep understanding of market use cases to solve application-level challenges in hearable devices such as TWS earbuds and over-the-head headsets.
Translate customer needs into solutions, thinking expansively and using a wide lens to capture both immediate and future requirements.
Architect balanced system trade-offs between performance, power, complexity, and cost to meet demanding design goals.
Drive hardware/software integration to ensure seamless user experiences.
Support verification and validation efforts, including pre-silicon (FPGA systems) and post-silicon testing, to guarantee compliance with requirements.
Develop evaluation kits, system designs, and customer-facing collateral such as application notes and demos.
Create compelling demos for customer visits and trade-show events.
Provide technical communication and support during customer engagements to ensure success.
