Preferred Qualifications:
Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
2+ years of experience with programming (e.g., C, C++, Python), computer architecture, or embedded systems.
2+ years of experience in design verification methods.
1+ year of experience working in a large matrixed organization.
Principal Duties and Responsibilities:
Independently develops small well-defined blocks and assists in developing complex well-defined blocks, features, and/or tests under minor supervision that achieve desired quality, functionality, power, performance, and timing standards; guides lower-level engineers; proposes minor improvements.
Independently identifies problems across multiple systems or subsystems and resolves most architecture and design issues; collaborates and collects feedback during design reviews and with other teams to ensure the block meets the specifications, performance, and power requirements; investigates issues in order to prevent future issues.
Seeks essential knowledge of industry trends, competitors' products, and advances in various engineering fields related to DSP products and technology (e.g., machine learning, modem); shows interest in a specific area of expertise.
Collaborates with team members to generate new ideas.
Communicates effectively with peers and leads using written, verbally, and online communication; effectively tracks and documents issues, features, and design changes.
Level of Responsibility:
Works under close supervision.
Responsible for own work, decision-making is limited. Impact of decisions is readily apparent. Errors made typically only impact timeline (i.e., require additional time to correct).
Requires verbal and written communication skills to convey basic, routine factual information about day-to-day activities to others who are fully knowledgeable in the subject area.
Works within the prescribed budgetary objectives of the department. Erroneous decisions, failure to achieve results may cause delays in schedules and result in the re-allocation of some resources.
Some tasks require multiple steps which must be performed in a specific order; directions or manuals can accurately document the steps necessary to perform the task.
Creativity is needed to draft original documents, imagery, or work products within established guidelines.
Deductive problem solving is required to solve moderately complex problems; most problems have defined processes of diagnosis/detection; some limited data analysis may be required.
Incumbent's input may be solicited during strategic planning period.
The responsibilities of this role do not include:
Does not provide supervision to others.
Has no influence over key organizational decisions.
