You will turn product capabilities and emerging customer needs into working solutions, proofs of concept, and compelling technical demonstrations.\nThis role, based in our Edinburgh office, combines electronic design, software, system integration, and practical problem-solving. You will develop and deliver working solutions that demonstrate the benefits of Cirrus Logic technologies, taking ownership of technical work from concept and prototyping through system integration, evaluation, and demonstration. You will collaborate with design, applications, systems, marketing, customers, and external partners\nKey Responsibilities:\nDevelop system-level solutions and demonstrations using Cirrus Logic products across Automotive and Industrial applications.\nTranslate customer needs, use cases, and product capabilities into practical technical concepts and proofs of concept.\nDesign, prototype, bring up, and debug electronic hardware, including PCBs, evaluation boards, and supporting circuitry.\nIntegrate ICs, sensors, embedded software, signal paths, communications interfaces, and mechanical components into complete working systems.\nDevelop or adapt software, scripts, and basic user interfaces to configure, control, test, and demonstrate systems.\nPlan and carry out evaluations, investigate system-level issues, and use measurements and hands-on assessment to guide improvements.\nWork with internal engineering teams and external partners to define requirements, coordinate technical work, and deliver functional prototypes and demonstrations.\nPrepare clear setup guides, technical documentation, and presentation materials so others can evaluate, operate, and explain the solutions.\nSupport customer engagements, internal reviews, and industry events by demonstrating solutions and explaining their technical value.\nTravel internationally to support customers, tradeshows, and other business activities, expected to be approximately 4-6 weeks per year.\nContribute to the mechanical design and integration of prototypes and demonstrations, working with internal specialists or external partners where needed.\nRequired Skills and Qualifications:\nA degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.\nExperience developing and debugging electronic systems that combine hardware and software.\nPCB design experience, including schematic capture, component selection, layout review, prototype bring-up, and verification.\nConfidence using laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analysers, power supplies, and signal generators.\nPractical software skills sufficient to get prototypes and demonstrations working, including writing or adapting scripts, configuring embedded platforms, integrating APIs, and debugging hardware-software interactions.\nThe ability to use AI-assisted software development tools effectively, while reviewing, testing, and troubleshooting the resulting code.\nFamiliarity with common hardware interfaces such as SPI, I²C, UART, and audio interfaces such as I²S or TDM.\nA methodical approach to troubleshooting, with the ability to move from a system-level symptom to a practical solution.\nThe ability to take ownership of deliverables, manage competing priorities, and make sound engineering decisions.\nClear communication and presentation skills, including the ability to explain technical work to people from different disciplines.\nA willingness to learn new technologies and work collaboratively with internal teams and external partners to develop practical solutions.\nPreferred Skills and Qualifications:\nExperience with Automotive or Industrial electronic systems, semiconductor products, or mixed-signal applications.\nFamiliarity with one or more relevant technology areas, such as audio, haptics, sensing, clocking and synchronisation, or power management, and their integration into practical systems.\nExperience developing prototypes, proofs of concept, evaluation platforms, or customer-facing demonstrations.\nKnowledge of networking and communications technologies used in Automotive or Industrial systems, such as Ethernet, CAN, LIN, EtherCAT, or PROFINET.\nFamiliarity with single-pair Ethernet technologies, such as 100BASE-T1, 10BASE-T1S, or 10BASE-T1L.\nExperience working with OEMs, system integrators, Tier 1 suppliers, or external development partners.\nFamiliarity with relevant functional safety, qualification, or electromagnetic compatibility standards, such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, AEC-Q100, or CISPR 25.\nExperience with mechanical design and integration, including basic CAD, enclosures, fixtures, mounting arrangements, and rapid prototyping techniques such as 3D printing.\nExperience with system architecture, product definition, feasibility studies, teardowns, or competitive analysis.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5003,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United
