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 on Industry leading Edge-AI audio platforms that combine high-fidelity Heterogeneous audio processing with ultra-efficient power architectures. 

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 Graduate System 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 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 

• 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 tradeshow events 

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