Senior Software Project Engineer (f/m) Embedded Hardware

Job Summary

We are seeking a Design Engineer that understands Embedded Hardware Development. Do you love simulation, and designing? Do you believe in being an evangelist of the benefits of MathWorks Solutions? If yes, then apply today.

The growth of Model Based Design and automatic code generation has created demand for support of complex production deployments of Simulink, Stateflow, C-Code Generation, HDL Code Generation and other tools. This position leverages a unique combination of skills involving customer-facing activities, software development and industry domain expertise. The candidate will strategically engage with major corporate customers in the application of MathWorks products for Model-Based Design and Production Code Generation. This will involve recommending technical approaches using the existing products, providing customized solutions for advanced applications and collecting requirements. The successful candidate will help establish strong technical relationships with key customers.

The candidate will leverage skills in MATLAB, Simulink, VHDL and/or Verilog, to provide advanced code generation solutions. Projects will vary from short-duration coaching to multi-month advanced deployments at customers in Europe. The focus is on long term solid technical success driving an expansion of product usage. This position will be part of a large international pilot support team with operations in Asia, United States and Europe. The international team operates within a common charter and process. Periodic visits to the United States will be necessary.

Responsibilities

• Generate excitement, confidence and passion for usage of Model-Based Design and automatic code generation in digital hardware design in complex production deployments.
• Work directly with selected customers to provide technical assistance and to establish deployment strategies for Model-Based Design.
• Establish deployment requirements and work with other development engineers to implement required features or determine how to most effectively use existing features.
• Understand customer workflows and industry domain standards to provide technical advice on how to realize them with MathWorks tools.
• Develop focused product extensions to address specific customer needs.
• Periodic travel for customer presentations, planning discussions and on-site technical meetings is required (up to 25%).
• Work closely with sales teams and other customer-facing staff focused on a fast paced and continually evolving strategy for successful adoption of tools for deployments.

Qualifications Required / Preferred

• Strongly preferred MS or Ph.D in Engineering or Computer Science
• Experience with using MATLAB and Simulink for signal processing and/or hardware development
