Role Overview

Analog Devices International is seeking an experienced Design Evaluation Engineer to join the Automotive Networking Evaluation team in Hyderabad, India. In this Senior technical role, you will lead the definition and execution of evaluation strategies for FPGA prototypes and automotive networking ASICs, from initial platform bring-up through system-level validation, characterisation, and release readiness. You will combine hands-on laboratory expertise with strong software development, test automation, data analysis, and technical leadership skills to deliver robust, repeatable, and high-quality evaluation solutions.

You will work closely with design, verification, applications, systems, software, and product engineering teams to identify technical risks, resolve complex issues, and ensure that silicon and supporting platforms meet product and system requirements. As a Senior Engineer, you will provide technical direction, mentor engineers, and drive improvements in evaluation methodologies, tools, and laboratory practices.

Key Responsibilities

- Execute comprehensive evaluation strategies, test plans, coverage goals, methodologies, and release criteria for FPGA prototypes and automotive networking ASICs.
- Translate product, architecture, and system requirements into measurable laboratory tests, including functional, performance, interoperability, robustness, and corner-case evaluation.
- Develop modular, maintainable test and automation software in C and Python, including instrument control, data acquisition, regression execution, result processing, and report generation.
- Execute and analyse complex silicon and FPGA test cases; debug failures across hardware, firmware, software, interfaces, and system boundaries.
- Perform electrical and functional measurements using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, protocol analysers, signal generators, power supplies,



and other laboratory equipment.
- Lead structured root-cause investigations, clearly document findings, and work with cross-functional teams to drive issues to resolution.
- Evaluate automotive Ethernet and related networking functionality, including link behaviour, data-path performance, timing, error handling, diagnostics, and interoperability.
- Develop system-level hardware, embedded software, scripts, user guides, application examples, test procedures, and technical reports that enable internal and external product evaluation.
- Review evaluation results, identify coverage gaps and technical risks, and communicate evidence-based recommendations to engineering and programme stakeholders.

Required Qualifications and Experience

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
- Four or more years of relevant experience in design evaluation, silicon validation, product engineering, systems engineering, or a comparable role.
- Demonstrated experience evaluating FPGA prototypes and performing bench validation or characterisation of ASICs.
- Strong proficiency in C and Python, with experience developing reliable test, automation, or embedded software.
- Knowledge of embedded systems, digital hardware, laboratory measurement techniques, and hardware/software integration.
- Proven ability to diagnose complex problems using structured debugging, critical thinking, root-cause analysis, and evidence-based decision-making.
- Experience capturing, processing, interpreting, and presenting technical data, with a solid focus on accuracy, repeatability, and traceability.
