Associate Consumer System Applications Engineer

Team: Ultra Low Power Audio Group

The Ultra Low Power Audio Team is dedicated to redefining audio experiences for next-generation hearables devices by delivering premium sound quality with exceptional energy efficiency. Our work centers onIndustry leadingEdge-AI audio platformsthat combine high-fidelity Heterogeneousaudio processing with ultra-efficient power architectures.

Position Overview

Systems engineering teams at Analog Devicesanticipate, uncover, and solve complex customer challenges ahead of product development by applying robust systems engineering methodologies andleveragingAnalog Devices’ extensive portfolio of sensing technologies in collaboration with external partners.

Join acutting-edgeteam at Analog Devices, whereyou’llhelp develop adaptive, personalized, and contextually aware consumer audio technologies. As aGraduateSystem Applications Engineer, you will work on system integration across embedded consumer platforms, addressing application-level challenges in the low-power consumer audio market.

Responsibilities include, but not limited to:

As a key member of our multi-disciplinary team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping next-generation audio experiences. Your responsibilities include:

• Customer engagementsthroughout the product development cycle—from concept to launch—debuggingissues andresolvingproblemsin our application and/orFPGA labs.

• Collaborate acrossmulti-disciplinaryteams (Marketing, Design, Software, Field Applications) and with external partners to deliver complete system solutions.,

• Deep understanding ofmarket use cases to solve application-level challengesinhearable 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

• 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 andtradeshowevents

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