Solutions Engineer

Cirrus Logic is looking for a Solutions Engineer to investigate new technologies in robotics. You will design and build prototypes, develop laboratory set ups, run experiments, analyse data, and translate results into practical recommendations. Your work will help internal teams and customers understand how Cirrus Logic products and technologies could support robotics and other emerging applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, build and maintain proof of concepts, prototypes and laboratory setups for new applications and technologies.
• Coordinate third-party prototyping houses, mechanical design services, and software providers to deliver proof-of-concept projects.
• Plan and run experiments, including measurement, debug and data capture.
• Analyse results and communicate clear conclusions, limitations and recommendations.
• Work with systems engineering, design, applications and marketing teams to understand customer systems, perform basic teardowns and assess technical challenges.
• Support technical customer discussions with data, demonstrations and practical insight.
• Explain how device-level capabilities, limitations and trade-offs affect the wider system.
• Improve lab capability by making experiments more repeatable, efficient and informative, and document useful outputs such as test reports, reference setups and technical notes.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

We are interested in evidence of the following capabilities. You do not need to meet every preferred criteria to apply.

• Prior practical experience working with electronics or hardware in a professional laboratory, test or prototyping environment.
• Experience building or modifying bench setups, prototype circuits or evaluation hardware.
• Experience with PCB design, schematic capture or rapid prototyping.
• Experience using some common laboratory equipment, such as oscilloscopes, logic analysers, signal generators or power-measurement tools.
• Ability to collect, interpret and explain technical data clearly, in writing and in conversation.
• Familiarity with data capture, scripting or automation for laboratory work.
• Ability to take a structured approach to open-ended problems and decide what to investigate next.
• Ability to work collaboratively with engineering, applications and marketing colleagues.
• Interest in applying electronics and hardware to robotics or other emerging applications. Previous robotics or related experience is helpful but not essential.

Preferred Skills and Qualifications:

• BEng or MEng degree in electronics engineering or a related discipline is preferred. Equivalent experience gained through employment, will also be considered.
• This is an experienced role requiring proven commercial professional experience in electronics, engineering, laboratory, test or prototyping work, with the ability to operate independently.
• Mechanical design or practical electromechanical systems.
• Experience programming embedded systems and/or FPGAs, including developing, debugging, and integrating hardware-software solutions.
• Breaking complex problems into clear, actionable questions.
• Writing technical reports, notes or recommendations for internal or customer use.
