About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Build and integrate proof-of-concepts, demos, and reference systems that translate ADI platform capabilities into compelling system-level demonstrations, clearly showcasing performance, scalability, and customer value
Work hands-on with robotic subsystems and platforms (motion, sensing, perception, control) aligned to real-world customer use cases
Support system bring-up, integration, and debugging across hardware, software, and control layers
Lead ADI Catalyst (collaboration hubs) engagements and customer co-creation activities; including workshops and boot camps
Lead strategic platform engagements with robotics companies, disruptors, and ecosystem partners - from early concept through deployment
Develop and apply deep expertise across key areas of technology including motion & actuation, multimodal sensing, real-time control, embedded compute / edge AI, and power systems, with considerations for functional safety
Act as the technical bridge between customers, Sales, FAEs, and Business Units
Provide guidance on system architecture trade-offs (system partition, performance, cost, power, scalability)
Convert engagements into design wins and scalable opportunities across accounts
Represent ADI through customer engagements, technical forums, and industry events
Contribute to enablement and mentorship of FAEs and sales teams in system-level engagements
