• Zonal controllers and centralized compute.
• Power distribution (OBC, DC/DC, EPS, braking, ADAS).
• Front-end protection and sensing architectures.

• Translate customer system requirements into actionable guidance for ICD product definition, NPIs, and portfolio gaps.
• Lead cross-product architectural alignment across :

• Power regulation (LDOs, DC/DC, ideal diodes).
• Current sensing and signal chain.
• Logic and interface (I²C/I3C, SPI, GPIO).
• Isolation devices.
• Protection and analog building blocks.

• Act as the technical arbiter in architectural tradeoffs (accuracy vs. cost, integration vs. flexibility, roadmap timing vs. customer urgency).

Customer Engagement & Communication (Primary Focus)

• Serve as lead system architect in customer discussions:

• Technical workshops.
• Architecture deep dives.
• Roadmap alignment meetings.
• Escalation support for complex design-in issues.

• Support FAEs by providing system context, reference architecture, and competitive positioning guidance.

Product Strategy & Portfolio Influence

• Drive product roadmaps and New Product initiatives s by:

• Identifying system-level gaps (as demonstrated in CSA, HV sensing, zonal architectures).
• Providing architecture-driven justification for investment decisions.

• Partner with Product Line, Marketing, and Applications teams to ensure roadmaps align with evolving customer architectures, not just pin-to-pin replacements.
• Contribute to architecture-led differentiation, emphasizing innovation over replication

Experience Requirements

• 10+ years experience in:

• Automotive or industrial semiconductor systems.
• Applications engineering, systems engineering, or architecture roles.

• Demonstrated track record of:

• Leading system-level customer engagements.
• Influencing product direction through architectural insight.
• Supporting multiple product lines simultaneously.

• Prior experience in Field Applications, Systems Engineering, or Technical Leadership roles.
