The Automotive Systems and Solutions Technology Team is at the forefront of developing technologies for next-generation automotive architectures. We have an opportunity for a highly motivated Communications Systems Architect to define and execute a networking technology roadmap, including proprietary and standards-based communications protocols, and to define and prototype networking system solutions targeted for in-vehicle communications. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on a variety of technology areas and applications.

The Role

• Collaborate with the business and technical development teams to define technology roadmaps for ADI’s automotive networking products.

• Work with FPGA designers to develop prototypes of networking functions/products.

• Lead design of new protocols for audio, video and data transport, and solutions for converting between different protocols.

• Model performance of in-vehicle communications networks, including Quality of Service and clock recovery.

• Support ADI standards engagement by participating in and making technical contributions to standards-development organizations.

Requirements

• Minimum BS in Electrical, Communications or Computer Engineering and several years’ relevant experience; MSEE or MSCE and 5+ years of experience preferred.

• Strong knowledge of Ethernet and related protocols, communication stacks and standards, such as IEEE 1722, TSN/AVB, PTP, MACsec.

• Strong knowledge of switch architectures and traffic shaping techniques.

• Network modelling in OMNeT++ or similar tools

• System modeling experience in Matlab/Simulink or similar tools.

• Strong problem-solving skills with an ability to understand and clearly articulate technical issues to peers, management and customers and solve problems cross-functionally.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills to work effectively with teams spread geographically.

• Self-motivated.

Desirable

• Experience with automotive networks such as CAN and Ethernet.

• Knowledge of other wireline communications such as PCIe.

• Knowledge of audio and video transport links/interfaces.

• Knowledge of functional safety.

• RTL design experience.
